Rune Knight and Archbishop

I don't know much about knights, but Archbishop seems very strong. 15% SP recovery from blue gems, AoE buffs and heals, remove sleep, stun and silence from whole party with one spell, triple heal, AoE lex divina and AoE dispell (with 80% chance of success). Good priests were very hard to kill as High Priests, where one of the methods was soul burn (not many could afford SP items). I don't know cast time and cooldowns of those skills, but it seems priests became more fun to play.

Today Warlock was added on kRO:

I'm kinda disapointed with their offensive spells, nothing epic and it seems like they are going to just precast Tetra Vortex. I like their utility skills however. White Imprison could be awesome, stasis is interesting too.

The sheer fact, that Thara/Poopoo/etc does not reduce magic damage anymore is a huge boost to mages alone, regardless of changes to their skills. I must say its good, as recently with all the mdef gear wizzies seemed weaker and weaker to me, with Asura, AD, EDP-SB as only real means to harm people...

...Thara/Poopoo/etc does not reduce magic damage anymore...

Where did you get that from? Never heard/read/saw anything about it before O_o

I read about it from numerous sources on iRo wiki kRo renewal chat topics.

Oh, ok, but renewal has almost nothing to do with 3rd classes, yet at least.
3rd classes going to be implemented soon, but the whole renewal concept is still in testing phase.

Not so soon I think. They are testing them on kRO Renewal, so I believe their skills are tuned up for renewal mechanics. There are many major changes every week and iRO still doesn't have ep 13, so I woudn't expect to see them soon on Valk. Year from now would be optimistic.

Rangers were added too a week or two ago

Can't say am I disappointed or not yet, as of my favorite class on Ro, but there seems to be one real good arrow skill and one pretty much useless. If they are not going to change it again. And still many things are not clear about how the new traps will work and about the Warg.

PS: I'd like to get a Ranger just for the Warg, no matter if any good at all, lawl.

I sort of hoped that there will be more mounts in the game, as walking is tiresome. Knights got new dragon, hunters got warg (finally, I have seen hunters arts with falcon + wolf since beginning of Ro :D), mechanics will get some sort of mechs... I hope they start working on 3-2 classes asap.

Interesting interviews with developers:

I don't really like idea of slower cast and aspd. Instant cast was hard to get, so I think they could just raise the required dex.
It's still early though and I remember how everyone hated trans when they were intorduced first time, so I'm looking forward to 3-2 and more changes.
