[draxhellion]

<p>Just curious i been hearing stuff bout sk changes and all this stuff.. Are they going to be making changes to the SK soon or something? I cannot find any info on it just i hear people going on bout its on test and paladin changes.  I am thinking bout going back to good ole darkness. Can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>in the new expansion, sk's will be solid ae tanks that will be as good as other fighters in there respective forte.... so yeah, sk's got a big boost, but just to bring them up to par with the rest of the plate tanks.</p>

<p>Well besides some decent AAs that we'll be recieving in The Shadow Odyssey, they are also making some great changes to existing spells for SK's.</p><p>Most of our spells have recieved increased damage, our AA at the end of Strength line now has a faster cast (33% I think), our dumb fire pet has been changed into an AOE taunt ability, harm touch is now on a lower 5 minute re-use time, as well as divine aura being down to I think 5 minutes, our mana siphon is now a nuke+dot that gives us power initially and over time, and our Siphon Hate AA is now a clickable, re-usable ability rather than a permant hate transfer (it's a different spell now). Our defensive stance now has Intelligence on it (less than offensive of course), Siphon Strength now also siphons Intelligence, and they replaced the Haste in the Strength AA with double attack.</p><p>Those are the main changes in a nutshell that I can think of off hand...</p><p>Overall, we're getting some nice changes that we will see right away on expansion release.</p>

<p>I love the new changes. I really enjoy AOE tanking / soloing and now I can do it better than ever before.</p><p>Very, very good stuff.</p>
