PvE Skills[edit]
Removed Skills[edit]
Comments[edit]
- Redistribution of skills: A good number of skills have changed lines; skill types have been (for the most part) relegated to a single attribute. Expertise has adopted all stances, Beast Mastery has gained all pet attacks, Marksmanship has gained all bow attacks and all bow-exclusive prepartions and Wilderness Survival has gained all traps and spirits. This consolidation is to allow skills that interact well with each other to scale together (on the contrary to Viper's Nest, a trap in Beast Mastery that I don't think I ever saw anyone use). It also prevents you from speccing into a line that you cannot use half of because the skills depend on another line (i.e. the arrow specific preparations in WS).
- [*]* Arrow skills: Yes I got rid of almost all of the various "[Adjective] Arrow" elites. This is because, while they were powerful, they were also boring and nothing special. Elites should be unique, bar-defining and not just buffed regular skills.
