[Sapreaver]

Very nice, organized and pretty balanced for most skills.

wow a lot of skills, 1 is kinda imbal though

"Ambidextrous - Every level of this skill grants a 0.33% haste to non staff two-handed weapons.
At a skill of 100 the delay of a two handed weapon is reduced to about 75%"

this is because surprisingly enough 2h weapons are about equal to 2 1h due to the extra 40% crit chance and the 25% mirror blade and to a lesser extent the 100% hemorrhage they can get (at least for pvp i didnt bother with pve calculations when i done this)

other than that pretty nice
i like these skills the most though:
Valedictorian
Martial Arts
Shield Boomerang
(im couldnt see any thing i liked from archery that wud balance these 2 tho )
Stone Skin

only small changes and wouldn't really give much of a change but they would be fun

[thatperson]

list is too long for me to read but it looks organized so i support em

[Migleyy]

pretty good.....but uh... experience rush with passive?? how is that goona work....?

Once per hour (or per proc) it could automatically roll for a chance to have x2 speed Passive Experience for 30 minutes(stackable). That's one of hundreds of simple ways to implement Passive Experience Rushes, very nice work as always Beet.

[beetdabrat]

Well would be simple every tick it has a % chance to be double what it would have been.

A lil problem with these skills. At lvl 100, Martial Arts would have a 1500% chance to occur. Bowman would be boosted from 15% to 515% bonus to accuracy, and Tax evasion would give you a 200% chance for this to occur at lvl 100... This might be a typo, but... just making sure.


I like it though. Good skills.

[thatperson]

bowman is a base of 5% with an extra .1% each level
tax evasion is a 2% flat chance but the skill must be higher than (or equal to) your bartering skill
and im pretty sure martial arts is prolly supposed to be .15% instead of 15%

[Hunters Bane]

Weaponry skill percentages need to be rethought. There too many issues I see and I have no idea where to start pointing them out. I might do it later.


No more "includes whips" skills plz.

oh yeah. okay i see that now.

Ya, most of these skills were made before we found out how powerful whips could become. Im assuming only a few of these skills would be used since if they all were then melee would be way op.
