Gonna give slight comment on this:
1. Seems to me that some useless skills are removed.. Thank God! I've been waiting for these skills to be gone completely (hamstring, DB, veng).. Hamstring and DB doesn't work on bosses, including LHC mobs.. Veng just sucks because it draws aggro and it doesn't work 100% of the time..

2. Focus and Eye of Amazon are combined into one-single skill: Archer Mastery.. I'm not sure if this skill is passive but it better be.. I'm tired of buffs..

3. Double jump will be a new active dodging skill.. Not sure how effective it would be.. Probably not as good as flash jump..

4. Eh? So now Phoenix gives additional buffs.. I hope I don't have people betching at me for lag because I summon my bird.. Just like people complain about Evan's Dragon covering their chars and lag and bla bla bla..

5. Drain will be active or passive skills? If it's like NL's drain, that would be totally useless at boss that 2hkoed.. Also, how many % drain heals hp? We need to see how good or bad this skill is..

6. Inferno, puppet, and FA got buffed up at 4th job.. Also, I wonder if puppet works if someone else attacking after puppet is summoned.. If not, it would be a joy at Evil Cygnus..

45% of hp restored with drain. go spadows blog jane!

45% from what? 45% of the damage, attack range, or recover 45% of total hp?
and no, I'm not looking at spadow's blog.. I only look at Mel's post..

It's active like an Assassin's Drain. I'd assume it's 45% of the damage done with some % of the monster's HP as the cap if you do too much damage. That's how all other drain skills minus BaM's is.

I'd assume Advanced Puppet works like a Wild Hunter's trap in that it only takes aggro at the point it's summoned and aggro is lost if anyone else attacks it.

I'm not too sure how Double Jump would work for Bowmasters. Hurricane still appears to have that slight delay from end-animation to using another skill.

Yikes active.. Works wonder if I got 2hkoed.. Not like you can stop hurricane right away and press drain anyways..

Jane will solo Empress Cygnus for us.

Awesome! Jane Jane, you're the bestest! =]

LoL.. I would hit miss 80% of the time ;o

We believe in you Jane!
