Soul Hunters developed spiritual abilities to use vicious magic that exploit their enemies' psychological weaknesses. They specialize in cursing and weakening their foes, but are physically weak.

Soul Hunter use their curses for both short and long distance attacks, and are adept at disrupting their enemies' spiritual stability. The curse property DOT attack constantly depletes the victim's HP, making him easy to defeat with a strong, finishing attack.

 

 

Soul_Hunter_Attack_of_Curse.gif

 

Attack of Curse : This skill has beed removed due to being too overpowered as the level 1 Soul Hunter Pew Pew. This skill allowed Soul Hunter to solo most RAIDs and have an incredibly high survivability in both PvP and PvE.

 

Soul_Hunter_Bloody_Arrow.gif

 

Bloody Arrow : This skill becomes the new level 1 pew pew of Soul Hunter. The Cooldown has been changed to 1 second. The skill is much more balanced and more in line compared to other casters.

 

Soul_Hunter_Blessing_of_Wind.gif

 

Blessing of Wind : This skill has been one of the most useless buffs in the last years due to the poor amount of Evasion it was doing.

The Evasion values has been increased and a new movement speed additional bonus has been given to this skill, increasing speed by 0.5 m/s at max level.

 

Soul_Hunter_Vampiric_Touch.gif

 

Vampiric Touch : As most of the community suggested, the amount of DNA that this skill needed was too much.

That's why the skill has been changed to a NATURAL 8 Seconds Cooldown and the DNA for shorter Cooldown has been removed.

 

 

Soul_Hunter_Arrhythmia.gif

 

Arrhythmia : This skill wasn't really defining the class Soul Hunter that is a rather squishy class ("physically weak"), as a result the skill has been removed.

 

SH_Magic_Mastery%28Curse%29.jpg

 

Magic Mastery (Curse) : The passive skill wasn't really much used because it had very poor values on Soul Hunter.

This skill has been moved to Defiler Tree and the values has been increased (will increase 10% curse damage like tempest elec passive, and will keep the static damage too).  

This change will make the skill in line with other "top" DPS casters passives.

 

Soul_Hunter_Binding_Soul.gif

 

Soul Binding : As most players suggested, this skill has been moved to Soul Hunter Class and becomes useful for both Soul Hunter and Dominator Class too. Although the 4 seconds stun at max level has been reduced to 3 seconds due to being too strong as 4 second stun, especially for the Defiler class.

 

Defilers can control both the bodies and minds of their enemies. They use phantoms in conjunction with psychological exploitation to assume a great deal of control over their foes. Defilers can also absorb an enemy's HP to restore their own.

Defilers can disrupt and attack their enemies with their de-buff abilities and wide range DOT attacks. They can confuse and weaken multiple enemies at once.

 

Defiler_Trap_of_Stiffness.gif


Trap of Stiffness : This skill had a slight increase on Cooldown (from 30 to 40 seconds) due to being too overpowered and  spammable, especially in Battlefield. But it retains its full potential, duration and range considering it is the defining skill for Defiler.

 

Defiler_Ataxic_Pulse.gif

 

Ataxic Pulse : This skill had way too much potential in RAIDs (and very low potential in normal pvp/pve). As result, the skill has been removed.

 

Example.jpg

 

Fata Morgana? : New "Anti-taunt" skill for Defiler (it will reduce aggro toward a mob/boss). This skill will be very useful in RAIDs, making the Defiler able to constantly damage the RAID without getting too much aggro. "NOT SURE YET".

 

 

Note : This are only a part of the skill changes and are expected to change based on players feedback.

 

Due to various changes to class skills, all classes will have their Skills and  DNA reset (and the UJC NPC will be avaiable at Nova Lux).

still a bit useless :P
besides i dont think Terms of Service needs to get changed, it got 30 sec cooldown and 10 sec duration and a cast time of 2 sec
sakers chaos totem got 30 sec cd, 28sec duration and 1,5sec cast time so i really dont see there a reason to change Terms of Service

You mean 14 second duration
Can stun you for 17 seconds
And can perma stun for that entire duration
Right, because that compares to a chaos totem that usually fears players out of its range and is broken by being hit or a dot.

Both need to be nerfed
Luckily Terms of Service is worse and getting nerfed first

Totally agree, the stun from trap of stiffness is way more deadly than the fear from chaos totem, and defiler can easily put 2 AOEs in it while forsaker only one...Trap of Stiffness also let other players kill much more easily the targets affect by stun.

that was just a comparison about the cd/cast time and duration cause ppl say trap of stiffness if spammable (besides temps aoe is spammable), well, the skill says 10 and 14 sec, just sadly the most time ppl run out of it or a warlord use hush and ur trap wont do anything in that time.
And ya, for farming that CD is good dont need to get changed, ppl just QQ about it cause of PvP/PK
Btw,
1st. ppl QQ'ed about AoC double dmg ( i understand that)

2nd. ppl QQ'ed about Heal of AoC (and i agree with them)
and now ppl QQ about Trap Of Stiffness, so what will be the next skill that needs to get nerfed ?
Oh, and before nerfing Trap Of Stiffness it would be smarter to nerf Elementalists and Warlords.
Cause in my opinion it doesnt makes sense that 1 single WL can ruin a FoC.

ixxmer09 I understand your point of view but I have to agree with people saying Terms of Service is too strong, 30 seconds CD is more than pathetic CD for its potential.

I don't think this is an absurd nerf to Terms of Service, it retain the potential of the skill, they just won't be able to Terms of Service+ AOEs every 30 seconds. Defiler as now is absurdly strong in pvp, and I know it especially because Defiler is my main character and I battlefield with it almost everyday...and it's not good to compare it with elementalist and WLs because we all know those classes are extremely OP, this time was defiler turn, next time will be elem and then WL.

The point of this skill changes is mostly to take all the classes to a similar level, and in the process it may look like "oh look, Elem is a -_- god class and they nerfing defiler first!!!", but it's just a part of the big plan. Also we choose to balance first Soul Hunter mostly because it had both one of the strongest and one of the weakest second job classes.

P.S : Don't think it's even that big of change...is actually from 30 seconds to 40 seconds ^^

i think is better to remove invisibility, and make Bleesing of the wind +15 targets+higher mana cost+more cooldown+leess duration... like 2 mins only.
remove mana drain.
make Curse Mastery % inc as it was ather the rework and move it on Dominator.
and TADA!, we got a new awesome class.

Hercule15 : Idk what -_- are you saying but a mystic for sure can't solo Voxyon or MG LOL. Your 3 sec CD idea would only totally kill the class and especially domi. You wanna make Terms of Service 1.5 sec cast srsly? So I can directly Terms of Service in ur face in no time? Jeez... And wtf mystic do? Mystic has huge CC now?LOL and elem?! Idk what -_- are you saying really lol, learn the classes first...^^
