There's a rune that prevents buffs from going away. That's pretty powerful if you ask me.

Can you point me to where you found this info? About the anti-debuff rune?

Enchant Blade seems to work as advertised, pretty similar to aura blade. What surprised me though, was that the rune knight cast it on me. It appears as though its a targeted supportive skill. It had a 2s cast time though, which is a bit prohibitive.

I always felt Aura Blade should have been a targetable skill as well, it would have made it much more useful

Nauthiz - Removes all debuffs and makes you immune to debuffs for 10 seconds (5 min cooldown, can carry a max of 10).

Too bad it lasts for only 10 seconds.

Charge a precast with that on, and some of the other runes, and you have an unkillable, unstoppable, un-disableable megatank who just might blow off a few gale smashes and an ignition break right in the middle of a precast. A lone RK is something that a precast would have to be ready to handle, but a group of RKs would flatten anything yet concieved, even considering a precast backed up with archbishops.

Question, does phantomthrust work on MvPs/strongshield wearers?

Since Bossflag and Strong shield are immune to knockback and Phantom Thrust is probably a kind of knock-back skill (it knocks players to you) it shouldnt work but should still do damage.

Also,here are some new animations for RK:

wtf...enchant blade?
another aura blade? thats so useless D:

but damn ignition break and hundred spears looks like a sexy beast.../rice
and the runes are looking good too @_@

Although hundred spears' 1000% damage modifier sounds nice, Bowling Bash already does 500% x 2 damage.. and it's an AoE too.. Unless they nerfed BB or something.

iirc Bowling Bash becomes a 2-handed sword exclusive, although that info may be out of date.

Enchant Blade says it adds 'magic' damage, but what does that really means? If I use a spell sword would the resulting autocast skill do more damage? Maybe make RK the magic users best friend?

If it's only mastery damage it might be somewhat cool with the new mechanics but it makes me feel like so much wasted potential for a nice skill.

Hundred spear can proc spear boom as well, making it 1.400%, and i'm sure it will be more spammable than BB, think of it as an improved pierce.


I wonder how death bound works, it is like improved counter attack or it works with skills as well?

One korean player gave his thoughts on Rune Knight... he wasn't impressed, he thought Arch Bishop skills were way better. Still, its likely going to see some substantial changes.

Rune Knight runes work just like consumable items. You make them just like you would an alchemist potion. Not too sure on the success rate, but it seemed rather low with combat stats. Right now you can't drop or trade them but you can put them in storage and even use them on other characters. This will probably get fixed though.

Here's some info on some of the skills

Dragon Breath: A ground targeted skill, hitting all enemies near it. It looked like 3x3 cell?

Dragon Howling: No clue, nothing seemed to happen.

Enchant Blade: Appears to increase damage by 100, but not sure. Has a cast time, around 3s.

Death Bound: Works just like autocounter. You can't move or attack immediately after the skill is used. Has a cooldown time of about 5s.

Hundred Spear: Has a cast time... with 80 dex it was around 3s~5s. Interuptable. It was impossible to use on active monsters.

Wind Cutter: The knockback appeared to be just 1 cell. There's also a cast time, and again interuptable. Appeared about 3s cast.

Phantom Thrust: It seemed like it would be really good for pulling monsters off of party members as a tank. Has a quite fast cast time.

Sonic Wave: No cast time. You can spam it like you could bash.

Ignition Break: Not sure, after having the prereqs that it said I couldn't unlock the skill.

I dont really get it. You mean every skill will consume rune? And what the differnce between every rune? Hundred Spear only give 1400%? That wont be much difference with LK. Compare it to 300% heal and 1200% HL damage of AB.

Wow what the hell, cast time for melee attack skills? ._.

This is the dumbest idea ever.

Another aura blade, a bad version of counter attack, a weak ranged attack that deal less than spear boom, 1cell knockback with cast time?

God, i hope these are placeholders, even gravity can't be THAT dumb.

OFMG RK is worse than I expected.

You sure? :P

They are kind of limited with RKs in the offensive deparment, since guillotine has to be better at that.

Its not that, even bash is better than all of these skills.

really,you guys need to quit bitching until after the testing is over and everything is is finalized.
