Thats all pvp only you should add that…

Some cleric and wizards nerfs on this patch in pvp. :joy:

#11

Yeah, there IS a [PvP] marker before the details. Only one i missed was [Tear Down]

#12

sorry my bad,…

#13

not like any of this actually matters,
cuz u know… itos has no pvp…

#14

My original intention was to actually show the differences of some of the skills in iTOS and in kTOS because some people were blindly following kTOS builds based on what they see is currently popular there. Then, I ended up going through too many patch notes and then decided to just make a full list.

Translation by @Gwenyth

#18

I’m confused about this, I mean Coursing is the one skill that paralizes the target and does damage to it ?

With this update it seems that it’ll do damage even with dispelling skills on the target, but what about the CC effect ? It seems strange that they talk about damage and dispelling on the same sentence, since one is not necessarily coming with the other.

So, does it mean that in PVP it’ll damage but not CC the target ? And does Retrieve work like this too ?

Of course, I never played Hunter, so I don’t know much about those skills.

#19

If the target has those anti-CC stuff, yes. The damage from Coursing and Retrieve shouldn’t be dispellable like other DoTs such as Burn and Poison, since it’s the pet that’s physically attacking the target and the only actual debuff going on is the Hold / Pull.

#20

Thank you for you explanation
