What is this? Pain? I'm not sure I like that idea. It's like adding stamina. Totally pointless and only makes the game less endurable. I wonder what could be the effects of this "pain"

And is it just me, or do a lot of the skills seem passive? But other than that, it looks awesome.

Who says that there's a "pain" stat now? It sounds like it could just be a flat Faster Hit Recovery boost. Less pain, less staggering from hits. Don't be so quick to jump to wild conclusions.

EDIT: Try looking at the actual skill in the other skill tab. Ignore Pain gives a flat DR boost. Pain stat lol...

I also said that I wonder what the effects would be. Those were just thrown out their conclusions that I had no basis on and I admitted it.

[hellsing293]

Well it would help to look at the actual skill first.

I'm sorry oh omni-potent one. I saw this and didn't realize it was a skill on another tree.

I was just making a speculation. Next time I'll make sure I use google and ten different site searches before I post something.

[Nethran]

I think he meant because it's the 2nd tier 3 skill down on this tree, on this page. 9 skills down from Perseverance.

[Grave]

Are there any videos of these abilities in action?
