I wounder if they'd do something like...
Will + x for melee parts of the skill set and Will + int for other parts of the skill set.

I'd think Will + Dexterity or Will + Intelligence would do best. Maybe even straight will.
yea, it doesn't have to be a 2-stats based skillset in the end
my vote goes for Will/int tho

Brilliant idea! Make us elves even worse by giving a talent we can't fully utilize! Makes sense : D
Seriously though, this better be Int/Dex. Elves need to be masters at something....ANYTHING.
We even suck at our own talent, it's about time we're given a skill set that doesn't cater to the other races or has it's potential hidden behind reforge based paywalls.
Elves have the highest natural speed, maybe that will play a big role in ninja?

I hope not, but then again mobility is always a plus to any skill set. Didn't KR say they wanted elves to be better at guns due to their better mobility? Or was that old bit of info false?

They never said Elves would be better at guns due to mobility, but rather the mobility sort of makes up for the damage they lack (which I disagree with).

Ah, glad to see that cleared up, if it wasn't already. Haven't been here in like....a really long time lol.

As ironwoman said, increased movement speed is intended to make up for the lost damage. I have to say that I do think Elves are the best gunners, but there's practically no one who's a well-practiced gunner and even fewer elves.
I wouldn't worry in this case though, if the stat differences are worrying you then keep in mind that strength probably isn't going to a contributing stat. I think out of all the stats, Will + Dex makes the most sense, as much as I'd prefer Will + Int. I'd love to see them weighted like 67% from Will and 33% from Dex.

It's not about being riculously strong, its being good at something. Elves have major disadvantage in every skillset (except magic), including Archery.
This is basically all I am saying. Let us be good at something, anything. I'm a mage/gunner because it's all I feel is even remotely worthwhile.

I've played an elf as an archer, would much rather be an elf than a human for archery.

Yet alot of people on the nex forums would say the exact opposite.

Oh well, opinion is opinion I guess. Let's get back to not having another thread about elf vs giant vs human racism and get back to the actual content itself.

The whole "which race is better" argument is so pointless when current content is easy enough to clear.
But back on topic, I'm just hoping Will effects it, cause it's just a dead-end stat right now.

The skills are looking more like the anime-ninja: throwing one hundred projectiles at once, using cherry petals as weapons, and so forth. Personally I would have preferred a more realistic skillset, at least somewhat. Maybe using the weapons for quick and precise hits; a good mix of throwing weapons, projectiles, and short swords for close combat.

I like the flashy skillsets in my opinion lol it's a game, a fantasy game with an arguably anime graphic basis at that. I wish more of the plain skillsets like melee and archery were more flashy really, but it seems nexon likes dishing out new cooler skillsets rather than improve old ones :< (which is still good and better than nothing)
