A friend of mine has a soulbreaker lvl 56.He noticed that after the update:
-some skills like triple thrust require more mana
-shadow bind is now an ordinary root(before that i was 100% 30 seconds root even of Rbs)
-shining edge does a ridiculous amount of damage
-not sure but he thinks death mark landing chance was also decreased
What is up with all that?Why did they decide to cripple the soul breaker like that?
Yes, the shadowbind really sucked. And there was NO notes of it anywhere in the patch notes. I was ****** off (I liked the first shadowbind, it was awesome and I was looking forward to it).
Shining Edge is like a Mortal Blow skill. It's working as it was before. No difference there.
Death mark's landing normally for me.
But yes, the shadowbind thing really really ****** me off.
Understandable. But why make it a freaking normal root?
They could have lowered the time the RB got rooted by Shadowbind. They could have lowered the land rate. They could have done so many things without taking the originality of the skill and making it a simple root.
But then again I'm asking for NCSoft to have any sense.
And there's NOWHERE in the patch notes, anything that tells us that the skill's been nerfed. Another thing that ****** me off.
They could of just made it not work on RB just like root or sleep don't work on RB. But why do it the right way when you can do it the lazy way. Turn it into something that already don't work on RB.....><

COuld had used it last yesterday... *stares at scars* :( stupid cat.
Just FYI.. Voice bind got changed as well. It is now a silence spell. At 70 I have not noticed any other major skill changes though.
As for the Shadowbind root.. not only did they make it a root, they made it a short duration tank style root. It only lasts like 15 sec. But casting speed is faster. Where the changes are minorly usefull is in PVP. As both shadowbind and voicebind pre patch had very limited use in PVP with there slow cast time. Now both are mildly usable, but only if they stick (which is not often).
Do I miss the old Shadowbind.. yeah, it was a pretty cool skill. Now as "just a root" it lacks the "cool factor", and makes it much less usable. But it is fun to root that higher level oponent in PVP that is running away after I stole there buffs... hehe. Now if only they could stop bsoe's from working while rooted <grins>. Now that would be awsome.
So shadow bind is like normal root eh? So no more peeing!? T_T
The Raid Bosses sent in a complaint to the Kamael Elders about they soul breaker's peeing on them so the Elders ban the practice from the kamael culture.
