Hero Specialty Skills

[HaZe]

regardless of w/e effects, we would want the current update to be beneficial towards the pvp scene. all updates are pushed to benefit the pve scene. wadafk, plz include hero arena and woe towards this update. make more pvp (ha/3rds/woe) updates pls. ty.

It already is beneficial in PvP scene possibly in more ways than you may be aware of.
We were able to implement new effects into the game that don't replace any existing equipment, and that require constant farming to get the benefits. This is unlike any other item in the game, as usually once you get it the effect is permanent. Also, new features usually require new equipment or cards, which usually just replace existing custom items. Not only does this completely change the meta, the equipment you need to use, but also the game you play. You have to think about which of the 20 skills is best for each occasion, and use it at the right time to maximize its efficiency. In addition, the skills require fury to be used. The fury does run out and needs to be consistently farmed. Although the earning rate may not be perfect now, it's just a matter of time before we find the sweet spot, and we have the ability to increase fury rewards in whichever feature we want to increase activity off.

I simply think the majority of the community has not tried the HSS so we are not seeing any benefits yet. Its just a matter of time before HSS become a required part of the game.

The quickest and easiest way to farm Fury and earn HSS scrolls is still through PvP methods such as HHH and BG. That desire you have to kill people, you should take it to those arenas and enjoy the benefits. I get that you want to fight with your buddies, but you can fight each other in BG, its okay... not personal.. You can fight with your buddies in WoE or HHH.
 

Anyone here who has learned Velocity Skill? (+20% Movement Speed)

I have been killing Assassin Cross Eremes but it doesn't seem to be registering. I hunt in lhz_dun03. Is that the right place?

This should be resolved now.
