At least Archers get a provisional stun-ability, against mobs at least. Having the highest (natural) crit-rate might help more.

More use in partys is always good.

And heh, they removed the blood! Random broken stars sound nice.. I think.

Weapon Restrictions stays the same.. it's just for armours...

I guess... it's not too bad, that they made it for lvl 40 and below only... extra defence means better chances of winning KQ?!?! -dreams-

At first i was like "Screen vibrations?

" But then i saw that you can turn it on and off (Phew). That sounds good to me...

I LOVE THE RANDOM STUN EFFECT IDEA!!! Us clerics sooooooo need it!

I'd assume that they would try to make a stun-crit rate fair for all the classes or have different rates for each class respectively.

If chances to stun-crit were tweaked according to class, I'd imagine that Fighter's would get the lowest chances due to their already possessing the best 'stun' in the game, with the highest duration, lowest cooldown and most damage. A Fighter with some luck could forseeably keep a mob stunned for the entire duration of combat.

Mages or Archers would be next lowest, depending on the devs on which class has lower chances to stun-crit. They might decide to give Archers the lower chances due to their having the highest natural crit % or it might be Mages due to their emphasis on already higher consistent damage than the Archer class. Mages also already have a 'stun' skill albeit with a long cool. Giving the Archers higher % to stun with a crit might also lessen complaints leveled against game-balance and the 'uselessness' of Archers in a party.

Clerics might possibly get the highest chances to stun-crit due to their low lethality and high durability. Trip was supposedly to stun and Bleed to inflict the bleed DoT so they might give a higher % to Clerics to compensate. Clerics, like Archers also have no other ability to 'stun' a target with a skill. Combined with the Clerics decent crit %. Clerics might receive the most benefit from the stun update.

All this is moot however if there is a static stun % for all the classes, though chances of this is lessened somewhat by their saying the rate is random. If the rate however is truly random and independent of class, then that might be a problem for some classes, as some would be favored exorbitantly more than others.

hm i like the sound of some of this :3

though i think its cool to be able to get more def, it kinda takes a big chunk out of the motivation for some players. (im not saying anyone here, but i know im kind of sad xD) getting new armor is always this cool reward when you get a certain lvl. o.o i guess its good that no higher lvls get that, or else... :/ i would probably loose my motivation to lvl my cleric and mage XD

and as for the stun possibility with crits, i REALLY like that. but im not sure if im gonna want to join pvp kq anymore with mages and archers stunning me! xD though im sure for all the fighters it just means more owning face for them XDDD

and yay~ no more blood! :O i wonder what the broken star things look like....

and woot vibrating screen. i love that thought, but now i wont be able to tell if were having an earthquake or not xD
