After the big wait they finally came!!
Most of them are very nice, but i felt specially sorry for the mesmer one, which in my opinion is no big deal and got a high energy cast.
What did you guys think about the new skills?
edit: Took out complains so shuuda wont cry
The new sunspear skills

Prehaps this topic would have been better if you said what all the Skills did, and mentioned that there are now luxon/kurzick skills in factions (or so I've heard), but no, like 50% of this forum the 1st thing you do is complaint.
MSecorsky
Yeah, how about some descriptions! Especially the mesmer one please...
Mr. G
rits got seriously shortchanged here

Ummmm the Monk skill is basically a Healing Seed that triggers heal party...its amazing. Almost too good....but not.

Excellent skills Anet. You have restored alot of confidence among your playerbase from what i'm hearing in the cities.
Just two gripes about the skills.
The monk skill is target other ally, but i understand this is probably because of the bots.
The ranger skill demotes a couple of BM skills to say the least. You may have to buff those.
Paragon skill is particularly nice and i hope it stays like that. I can understand the armor nerf now. Totally justified.
These skills are the business... top banana... icing on the cake. Please make more!!
Feel happy for ele's. Not looking forward to getting my face melted, but hey ho, all's fair in love and war.

R10 ranger, no hero skill points available (and cannot earn any more as I'm also r8 lightbringer...) therefore cannot get the skills...
perhaps some way of alternate aquisition needs to be looked at?
doh, they already did
can exchange 1 skill point (and 1k) for a hero skill point at the hero skill trainers now too.

I think you can buy hero skill points for 1k in the Chantry of Secrets now. So basically if you used your free skills on real skills, you have to buy them like real skills lol. Same difference.

O sweet! Im liking the sound of the assassin skill

Actually... I like the new skills.
They're not completely overpowered, they seem to fit in with the ethos of each class and... well... they feel 'right', you dig?
Barring, of course, the Dervish one... perma-Avatar, anyone?

Cry of Pain seems very good, note that you don't need to interrupt anything to deal the AoE damage. It's enough if you have hexed the monster beforehand with something like Images of Remorse.
qazwersder
Yeah the mesmer skill seems a little underpowered tho, its a conditional cry of frustration with a little more damage. Doesnt make me want a mesmer in my group yet, maybe quicker recharge would be useful (although care would have to be taken).
Wonder what the lux/kurz skills are.
Edit: After reading Dfrosts post above, I see what you mean, it doesnt require the interuption. Hmm.

like pretty much all of them cept necrosis - it just seems like after they impliment a timer that randomly denies you energy return - to then give you a super spam skill - is just like sticking the long finger right up the brown star and twisting. -- at least the ranger skill will rock in my MM build.

Quick comment from James Phinney, the lead designer:
The PvE-only skills are guaranteed to change. Necrosis, for instance, is not going to stay as it is. So, don't get to attached to them just now, and DO share your feedback, please.
Also, Luxon and Kurzick skills are not incompatible -- you can learn both. However, you cannot have both on your bar at the same time.

All of the skills are fantastic.
I really like the Ritualist skill as this solves some problems with Blood Song being in channeling even though its damage output not as strong as Blood Song.
I was rather disappointed with the Warrior skill. I was hoping for something that boosted armor. Instead I got something that can be used with any melee weapon and not with Spears or Bows. I'm sure my Assassin will like the new warrior skill.
