Edit: Added source, pics, and cleaned up the formatting. Also removed my QQ.

More ranger buffs?

I like this...

Blah, still nothing to help combat ranged damage for Gladiator's

Looks like a lot of cooldown cuts. Wasn't sorc already pretty beefy? Looks like they got some nice lovin' and templars got a little squishier in pvp. If "Fixed the bug where your auto attack canceled if you moved while using skills." means it stops turning autoattack off mid-combat I'm happy with just that lol.

Yeah sorc was good before this, but for some reason it got a massive buff. Now 50% of the time you can have all your spells costing 50% less MP, cast 25% faster, and do 24% more damage. Not mentioning they're getting passive buffs (3rd tier of passive MB) and their new stigmas are amazing.

On the other hand, SM just got yet another nerf this patch. 1.5 already had the 40% less damage in PvP, Fear nerf in form of Resistance Stat and Gear, now Wing Root is getting hit, and now you don't receive fall damage after exiting Fear.

Rangers get a 4/8s CD reduction to Attack/Rupture Arrow, and can now see through Hide II. Not much, but means less time between people you can burst down in a chain. Cool, I guess.

Chanter gets a mixed buff. Stigma Bind getting reduced to 45s instead of 5m, while getting an extra 2s tacked onto its stun CD. Pretty fair trade if you ask me, will definitely increase their effectiveness in pvp before 42.

Mastering two crafts is nice, now i can make my own Armor and Weapons >:D

Awesome, although I am not sure what I would pair up with handicrafting...

Maybe cooking or alchemy...

Im going with alchemy since pots are always useful, especially in PvP when you need to stay alive.

Yeah but you can make pots without mastering Alchemy, most of the master alchemy recipes are Orbs.

What do these orbs do?

Im going with alchemy since pots are always useful, especially in PvP when you need to stay alive.

You can get 399 in all crafts and 450 in 2 now and 399 is enough to make anything you need potion wise.

Orbs, the weapon for Sorc/SMs

They what the hell would be useful? Especially since you can get 399 in all crafts.

Get Alchemy to 399 for pots, obviously.

Depending on class, get what you want. I'm going Weaponsmithing and no idea what else, not Armorsmithing since I have a friend rolling that and we'll be gearing each other out. :<

I am going handicrafting for making my own bows and jewelry since I am rolling ranger from the getgo...

And not sure what else as cooking seems pointless or atleast very minor in what you can do with it verse the other professions.

Maybe Sewing because I can make my own leather armor.

Sewing and Handicrafting is the Weapon and Armorsmithing for scouts :D

Planning on doing Cooking and Alchemy. Cooking can make some really nice food, and killing faster means leveling faster, not to mention the DP Food you can make, and Alchemy for making my own potions.

I'm doing Armorsmithing and, funds permitting, Weaponsmithing.
