[quote=AvidReader]Hmmm, I was thinking about the tele issue, and basically, if we can telecast with it (which i doubt since both fb and BKB are super fast), we're invincible all the time. BUT, since I don't think we can do that, I think we'll be like db's in a way, with then having to choose between CoH for invincibility or PB for damage output.[/quote]

You'd need god-like control to be able to attack while using it perfectly, maintaining invincibility, being able to telecast FB, then IMMEDIATELY tele cast BKB (if that's even possible), since their added delays would put it over 1 second.

I don't see any use in it (using it while attacking), either, since what kills us at higher bosses is seduce and DR, not touch or magic damage, neither of which this kind of invincibility guards against. DBs have a reason to rely on high amounts of avoid and invincibility: if they DO get hit, they get hit [b]hard.[/b] On top of that, concentrating so much on telecasting usually slows down damage output.

I'd definitely recommend getting the skill, though, because it does have other uses, namely, training, trolling in PvP, and during DR periods at PB, empress, or potion cooldown places for infinite godmode. It'll also make travelling through maps a bit less of a pain.

In summary, using it for full invincibility while attacking is something only those with insane levels of control will be able to pull off, and even then, it's not going to save you from DR, seduce, or status effects, since all of those ignore all types of invincibility.

[quote=Mystelteinn]I'd normally be the one complaining about the update, but after looking at it for a while, I find it rather interesting.

IMHO, Battleking bar >>>>>> anything boosting finishing blow. It's refreshing having a new skill. Adds variety. Plus the damage is more than worthy enough of being an FB extension.

Same with the teleport bonus. 1 second invincibility? Do you have any idea what this means? You're invincible all the time when teleing around. Imagine that at high level bosses. That is, if you can tele, but still.

Union of the Aura also looks refreshing. Imho, the only skill they did a bad job for the update with is Dark shock. If you can hit that much with Dark shock to expect something good out of it, you're probably already hitting that much with FB (And battlebar) when it comes out.[/quote]

Can't wait to make my battle mage

@codphone101 Yea, like i have never made BaM and dont know much about the class(im making one to 120 when they get the exp boost when they are revamped because i will eventually fund one after i get my Evan to 200) but the hyper skills for Battle mage looks like it better than any of the other hyper skills. Mainly Evans hyper skills... Im looking forward atm, BaM revamp and Luminous release. As well as the new COD comes out next week. Looks like im not going to do much homework the next 3-4months

man.. i mean.. i love the new offensive hyper (to be used after FB) - casting speed looks fast too xD and union aura basically makes BB no CD - which is cool too. <3 <3 <3

BUT BUT the other ones...

it seems like u have a choice between using DR (since they made it no CD) or FB + hyper combo -- but the latter is much faster.. y did they even bother with the DR enhancements (WHY NOT FB ENHANCEMENTS?)

Wow, the BaM offencive hyper skill is amazing! Its cool, its flashy and has no cooldown(or kind of, you have to use it after finishing blow)

@D3rpppp: haha i only realized that after I posted the thread
