I second that. Although it´s not a inutile skill, of course.

Feel sorry for those awaiting the Sorcerers and Genetics.

I wouldnt call a skill everyone has to get just because its a pre-req for cool RG skills "a skill in the spotlight".

Resistant souls is a very good skill, probably one of the best skills for mvping (you can get 83~85% reduction vs demon before def/assu/other reductions), the only downsides are its heavy prerequisites (i think they should make the only prerequisite faith 10 or only divine protection 5) and that you cant cast it on yourself/other saders but i'm always happy to see a pala/sader with it when mvping naght sieger or satan morroc.

*waiting for more RK/AB/Mecha tweaks and Ranger/WL/GX patches*

I also expected some new classe, but surely this will come out another week. (I hope)

PS: Translation is appreciated as always Doddler.

hey, when you live your life in a dark corner of the skill tree, any attention at all feels like the spotlight. i agree that it's a great skill, just the pre-reqs are insane and the whole 'no crusader' thing kinda ruins it. i had it on my GC sader for a time.

Boring patch, at least they corrected the pre requisites for piety.

Thank you Doddler.

I wonder why, and why now.

Dark Priest monsters get implemented with renewal update and spawn in GH graveyard.

Making them non-boss makes them a very nice Turn-undead target for level 90+ priests

- Corrected an issue with the Naga Scale Shield [1] when refined just once.

I wonder what happens when you refine naga scale shield just once lol

That, and possibly lolHeat. Dark Priests being level 98 would probably make them the new (although more inefficient?) Kasas.

I like the Piety requirements change, it helps a lot with that heavy skill tree of theirs. Sadly, there's not much else in this patch...

I've to admit that with the new prerequisite Piety is more desirable now, but personally I've never had the urge to build that skill, the crusader card combo gives the same effect, but to buff comrades tats a good skill.

I dunno, by changing the prerequisite to something every single Crusader gets they've basically raped the value of Angeling-carded armor. Holy Water isn't exactly hard to get either, I have excess of several thousand in storage that slowly gets used, and making more is just a matter of time, not exactly effort.

^Get em doddler!

But back on topic..
-The prerequisites for the Royal Guard skill 'Piety' has changed. (Providence 3 -> Faith 10) = Making a Royal Guard build just became 10 times easier

Let's see...
30% with Hell Buckler
55% with Resistant Souls
70% with Holy Robe

...Uh

73% with Angel Wing
I can't think of anything else, but Atum's right, you wouldn't be able to get nearly that high without Resistant Souls
