The Martial Artist Destiny

[Veloze]

Looks so fun.

So there's an entire new skill tree devoted to martial arts. You wouldn't believe how glad this makes me. I wonder which stat the martial arts skills are reliant on... I'm hoping for some combination of Will and... maybe Strength or Dexterity. Will has enough skills that add to it, and it seems appropriate for martial arts.

EDIT: Did some googling, here's info I found:

basically, this works on a combo system, the more attacks you chain, the more damage.

The mastery skill reduces load time on counter skills
there a skill to quickly retreat (possible heavy stander counter?)

theres a shoryuken skill, that reduces def/prot

theres a hadoken skill, seems to be a more powerfull firebolt skill, that you have to aim manually.

theres a ''windmill" skill

theres a skill to close in and attack an enemy instantly

theres a skill that hits 3 times, and tempoarily causes the target to be unable to use magic/alchemy

and theres a meditation like skill that heals hp, wound and stamina, but reduces them if you use magic/alchemy right afterwards.

and knuckles are now wearable by all races (would have preffered gauntlets tho).

seems like their out to completely destroy regular melee, as martial arts is a new skill tree and none of the skills can be used with a sword (besides meditate)

also shadow warriors gives 0 gold now, smart bots are smart.

and one last thing, will= martial arts damage.
sad dk is saaad.

My body would be ready if I were able to get on my elf or giant for the past few months. They really need to address the locked out characters, and SOON.

Actually, total AP for Martial Arts Destiny is around 1.8-1.9k (from what I heard anyways)
Forgot where this number came from, but it was on some mabi fanforum.

Regular melee feels like it's going to be so weak compared to martial arts ;_;

Too bad you can't use some of the martial arts skills with a sword... I'd love that -DEF and -PROT to go with my combos with support shot and windmill : <

My lack of AP is sad.

[Marzai]

I did the math of the current skills.

Total AP is 1622.



Hoo boy...

Don't really need Self-medication though, unless the effects are stronger than Rest.

[Marzai]

It wouldn't hurt to have it though, for a quick fix to yourself rather than using Trans all the time.

Also, it'd be very useful in dungeons if nobody has firewood for campfires and such.
