New ability?

[TricksyRaton]

It appears the Bloodline Chronicles gives a new ability to each class. Anyone have any info on the brigand ability? <div></div>

[Equino]

havnt heard of a new skill per each class, where did u get this info out ? <div></div>

[Gyilok]

well the monks or bruisers got a lvl 35 attack that puts them pretty high on the magical hit boards (tho as i read somwhere it cant be used when fighting heroic or epic mobs) so i guess we get another useless ability, which supposed to stun or somthing that wont work at all

[Twist_nd]

Our new ability increases our dps by 6% (if I remember correctly) for about 1min (maybe a little more), with a fairly long refresh time.  This is just the appII version.  You can have an adept version made with the new crafting books, but I don't have it.

Where did you get this new ability?  I did not see it in my skill book last night.

If you don't wanna do the quest, just ask a 35 or higher jeweler to make the app IV for you and you can scribe it from that. The buff isn't particularly amazing, but the animation is the best we have imo. <div></div>

<DIV>What is the name of the new ability for Brigands?</DIV>

<DIV>So what does this effect look like?  </DIV>

[Kegofbud]

A ghost copy of your character rises up out of your body and grows as it rises. It's a pretty sweet effect, haven't gotten a good measure on the 8% effect yet but I do like to use it when I'm in a fight I know will last a minute or so.

[Zerim]

<P>A quickly enlarging (vertically primarily - but proportional) ghost copy of your body (purplish translucent on my screen) and whatever it is doing at the time of casting the buff - like unsheathing your weapons.</P> <P>It also ghosts your mount too <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

It is cool looking.  Think I might use it just before banging on a rock when someone else comes over.:smileyvery-happy:  On a side note; has anyone seen an adept drop for it?  

[WhiteFr]

<DIV>Adept III version gives + 10% dps for the exact same duration</DIV> <DIV>Is seem to only affect Weapon dps tho.</DIV>
