Does anyone know where there is a list of the new skills that the core proffesions got? I'm going crazy reading about the new skills and their effectiveness without knowing their descriptions.
Guildwiki ftw! (Scroll towards the bottom of that page to find the Factions skills.)
Incidentally, "core skills" has a separate meaning from "skills for core classes". The skills for the basic six classes are divided into core skills, usable by a player with any chapter of Guild Wars, and campaign-specific skills that you need one or another chapter to use, such as Factions skills or Prophecies skills.
