You can still get Barrage in the 2nd mission on Fire Island now so you'll have a wait a bit more past where you could get it before from the "end mission boss". I don't think any skills were made unavailable through this but some you might have to wait longer for.

the best solution for this: full human team tell the others to tank the boss, while you wait for the skill appear and capture it, i havent had a single set back using this technique LOL

i was wondering if its possible not to get the skill you want

maybe it is for some people

but honestly try this out it works like a charm, you just need to do the mission with full or atleast half human team ( take henches that dont damage the bosses too much )

i didnt know people who cant capture skills from any boss existed untill now. me and my frens allways do few missions at a time then go for skill hunting using this method.

You misinterpret - You can no longer capture a skill from a boss while it's still alive. The SoC will not cast. That's part of their revamped SoC elite skill capturing system. It's why you can't capture from you-know-who at the end of Iron Mines of Moladune now, and it's why some folks are upset.

I agree - the SoC should work BOTH ways - the new and old one. That would be PERFECT.

I think the best option is to simply let you cast it while in battle or after its dead. But only have the menu come up if you defeat the boss. That way it still needs to be dead. So if you loose the battle, you don't get the skill. I hope they do it that way. For areas that zone you after the boss is defeated, just have the menu come up after the zone change.

Come on guys, do you really think they did this to make it easier? They did this to make it more of a "challenge" so you have to complete an encounter before gaining a skill.

In any case it sucks as it's implimented. if they were concerned about us getting the skill easily they would have simply attached the menu to the current capture method, and made it instant cast.

As for the cut scenes issue, it is NOT as simple as disabling the automatic jump. If there is ever a portal some dumb a$$ is going to run through even if you type 20 times in all caps that you need to capture a skill.

So they need to put back the old system and add the menu and make it instant cast...if all they care about is making it easy for us.

LOL they made it easier in some ways but impossible in other ways. Easier for those hard-to-capture skills like Defy Pain, Battle Rage, Warrior's Endurance but impossible for those with cut-scenes.

It is a pain if you try to get your elites from the cut scene spots, but they have also been adding bosses with redundant skills to the PvE areas. Just find one of the new sources and pilgrimage to a boss without a cut scene.
