  Sure, it's as volatile as adding in picture chat in NA servers, but it's sad that we're only limited to music for creative expression.

  
  
  That's why we no get draw chat

  Unreleased Mastery Skills
  
  Shield Mastery 精通盾牌
  Dagger Mastery 精通短劍
  Dual Weapon Mastery 精通雙持
  *Berserker 狂暴化
  **Bow Mastery 精通弓
  **Crossbow Mastery 精通弩
  Magic Wand Mastery 精通法杖
  Magic Staff Mastery 精通權杖
  Alchemy Cylinder Mastery 精通鋼瓶
  
  *Unreleased active skill
  ** Released in G13S2
  
  Melee and Magic have plenty of skills (excluding the unreleased advanced fire/lightning skills and Lance Mastery/Lance Charge/Lance Counterattack).
  Alchemy also has a decent number of skills. Certain skills (wind blast, sand burst) should be buffed. There's room for a new water/wind skill.
  Ranged has very few skills at the moment. Expect new ranged-specific content in G15.

  Arrow Storm
  - Activating the skill toggles the "Fast Firing" status effect
  - Defeating an enemy not labeled as weakest using ranged attacks temporarily provides the following bonuses
  -- Stamina Recovery
  -- Improves ranged weapon speed by one stage
  -- Increases the critical hit cap when using ranged weapons from 30% to (35% at r5, 40% at r1)
  - Drains stamina upon initially activating the skill
  -- Stamina recovery is halted (regardless of whether or not the user is resting/demigod)
  -- Stamina is drained at a set 0.5 stamina per second
  - Switching from a ranged weapon to any other type of weapon while the skill is enabled will disable the skill and remove the status effect

  Yay, it sounds similar to my idea.
  But I wonder how exactly it works....
  
  Do you have to aim each shot? How fast do the arrows come out?

  So, does that mean a person's going to be standing in the middle, spinning forever?

  Arcane Release
  A triple elemental based attack consisting of thunder, fire, and ice charges molding into a single sphere. Once the sphere is launched from the wand-similar to Blaze but using both the caster's hands instead of a wand-the orb will do an A.O.E. attack that will stun the enemy on the first charge, scorch the enemy and inflict a burning (poison) effect with a second charge, lastly the third and final charge will freeze all enemies in a 8x8 radius while the first two elementals do their respected attacks. At Rank F the skill will have a three second charge rate (reduced by .5 seconds per ranking) and will be slightly weaker then thunderbolt. After ranking the skill up to Rank 9 however, this skill will be as powerful as Ice Spear at Rank C-with a noticeably larger A.O.E.)
  Mana Consumption per charge>15 MP 1st Charge>14 MP 2nd Charge>13 MP 3rd Charge. Mp Consumption will decrease by 1 MP per Ranking.
  Damage>Rank F-1-30, Rank E-5-35, Rank D-10-45, Rank C-15-55, Rank B-20-65, Rank A-45-75, Rank 9-75-200, Rank 1-250-350
  AP Cost per Rank>5 AP to Learn, +1 AP per Rank up to Rank B, +5 AP to obtain Rank A, +2 AP per Rank up to Rank 2, +10 AP to obtain Rank 1
  Obtaining Skill-Retrieve the quest from Marlowe who will have you run Rundal(Normal, Basic, Adv depending on level-see Shadow Mission level requirements), then Coill Elemental with at least three party members from each race. Each party member will get credit for completing the Coill Dungeon run together if they have obtained the quest.

  Sure.
  I guess a warping feature would be nice.

  Aim speed would be unaffected. The weapon speed bonus would be increase your rate of fire by one stage (ie: Slow > Normal > Fast > Very Fast) similar to the effect that the Chinese Dragon Armor set effect has on melee attacks. This would be most noticable when using Arrow Revolver.

  Ah, it increases rate of fire.
  
  Skill add-on: Repairing (Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Carpentry)
  
  Repairing items is the exact same as finishing items. Repairing items will always used the finest grade of an item to repair it (Finest Silk, Iron Plate/Bar)

  I always wondered what would be an interesting but balanced final ___ skill for giants, I came up with this.
  
  Final Stomp:
  This is more of a support skill for weak giants but a rather dangerous one for the experienced. Damage is entirely based off of %s of your base damage and stomp rank. The skill forces the user to only teleport to locations, meaning your only ability is to teleport. But wherever you teleport, there is a delay of half the preparation time to launch stomp and it is launched immediately.
  
  R5->R1 Stomp with it's .4s loading time would get .2s basically. Weaker giants would use this skill to stun bosses or groups of mobs for their team mate without endangering themselves since it's pretty hard to hit a target that is constantly moving from place to place. Stronger ones who have a larger amount of damage would be able to maintain the team's ability to kill while being very threatening themselves.
  
  rF = 4 seconds, 50% base damage
  r1 = 20 seconds, 200% base damage
  
  
  
  
  And because I'm sick of range skills, specifically misshax elf range:
  
  Accuracy Mastery - Increases the likely hood of shots to hit targets that are closer to the user. At pointblank, with finish blinking, you cannot freaking miss 10 times at 99% which you still somehow do with this game.
  
  rF - 20% Max Increase of range skills hitting when enemies within a certain area close to the user
  r1 - 80%

  Active Defense: It is passive defense but preloaded.
  
  Yup.

  Genesis.
  15 light rays shoot down from the sky, causing massive holy damage to 15 mobs on the map.
  
  It can be like Adniel's Horn, but in dungeons.
