Was this something announced in the patch?  If so I missed it. Can anyone fill me in on whether we actually do get new combat arts and, if so, where and how we get them? Thanks. <div></div>

The book is NO TRADE. I did all of the quests today, and no new skills opened up. I haven't tried it yet...and I really doubt I will find too many uses for it. But, that is the skill we get to buy. Enjoy, I guess.</P>

<P>I could see a use for that skill.  I am often stubborn when soloing and am reluctant to run from a fight if it's going to be close.  I've been knocked unconcious before with the mob only having 1% health left.  The description of Unyielding Will sounds as if in those cases I would have struck the mob for 165 damage and been healed for 31.  Just the small amount needed to win the fight.  Granted, those scenarios don't happen often but it has happened to me more than once. </P> <P>Edit -- Actually, now that I think about it the skill might not be such a good thing.  It would probably make me even more reluctant to run from a fight :smileywink:</P> <p>Message Edited by Wandatin on <span class=date_text>03-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:56 AM</span>

<DIV>I used it last night and was quite amusing since I didnt fully read the description before I used it. Sadly while fighting T'rath the Usurper without a cleric or healer of any type I got to witness first hand what the spell does. We got the guy down to 10% or so health and then he is swarned by bats and does some funky looking absorbtion thing of them and boom he's back at 75% well shortly after that I took the last damage I could and was immediately healed for 1265 and then of course being out of power, basically out of hitpoints we /yell and decide to run and I get maybe 20 steps and BOOM my heart explodes and does 6218 damage to me. Needless to say I didnt survive that one <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Interersting spell but I would say limit uses sine you will definitely die afterwards hehe.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Heh and to add to that, my stats show that I killed myself <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> since the spells says you cast the spell that kills you.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Aallaan on <span class=date_text>03-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:17 AM</span>

<DIV>Wait... our new ability is that we get to kill ourselves?   [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] is that?  Brawlers get a 5k hit every 5 mins, Assas get a 3.5k hit every hour, and we get to kill ourselves.</DIV> <DIV>Sorry, am I missing something?</DIV>

<P>I'm pretty sure this can be cast when your already dead, meaning it gives you a last ditch to try to finish off a close fight.</P>
