SK/Ranger Changes in Kunark?

[VincentVolaju]

Kind of torn between playing my SK or Ranger. I thought maybe hearing about some of the upcoming changes in Velious might help make up my mind. I know for Rangers they gear higher skill caps and get a fear animal spell. However I dont know anything about SKs in Kunark.

[Lyzard]

Im confused, do you want to know about changes that happened to SK/Ranger in Kunark? or the upcoming changes in velious?

[Tecmos Deception]

SKs in Velious (eventually) get a couple disciplines, new spells, some higher skillcaps, and removal of the class xp penalty.

Rangers get a lot better in Velious. Mine's parked until then.

Rangers get fear animal!

This. I believe Knights have their defensive skill caps raised to that of a Warrior. SKs receive some spells which improve their Aggro abilities (shroud of pain, shroud of death), and a new FD spell (Death Peace).

And the big one, removal of class experience penalties.

The new SK spell death peace is pretty beast compared to FD

FD: 1.5 sec cast time 15 second recast
Death Peace: 1 second cast time 4 second recast time

Skele form with lifetap and atk drain are nothing to sneeze at either!

I think shroud of undeath wont be out until the chardok revamp goes through though

Hats off to Rangers, Paladins and SK's. I've got a lot of respect for someone who's 50+ on those characters in this era.
