Yes the Boxing skills are just for Boxing. However from what I understand you can find an elite Boxing skill that will help you in your boxing.

We switch your skill set out with boxing skills and at the end of this chain of quests you actually have not only a set of brass knuckles that you get to box with but also a set of PvE only boxing skills. When he's talking about PvE only skills in that article, it sounds like he's talking about the 50 that we get. This quote leads me to believe we can use the brass knuckles and boxing skills anywhere in pve.

I am really looking forward to the Norn Morphing skills, but I cant help but wonder if it will affect each class differently. A monk turning into a wolf or a bear in the middle of combat could effectively become a warrior. He could just turn back when someone needs healing. Also, if the bear and wolf totems give your character +X HP and +X Dam, I really can't imaigne any profession, well warrior at least, leaving town without it.

Can't wait to turn into a werewolf and go munch on some charr.

There could be a penalty (en loss, can't use certain skills, etc.)

Or, it could just be + health... can't wait to find out!

I can't believe no one noticed the Michael Jackson reference in the "Smooth Criminal" skill. And if you are to young to have heard any Michael Jackson songs at least you would have heard the Alien Ant Farm version of it, even though it is a few years old now the radio station here plays it regularly.

sigh... is it the 31st yet? =( I’m getting impatient. I need new faming areas (and skills, some of the pve ones might be great for my builds), Djinn are getting repetitive.

Oohhh!!! I wanna bring "Summon Ruby Djinn" to the hidden city with me!

(Blessings must be the "form” skills.... compare the recharge to Dervish Forms)(Note the 60-120 recharge)... Hell they might even be classless forms without self disabling...

And yes, I noticed the Michael Jackson reference, but I try to avoid acknowledging his existence nowadays

I too noticed the 1 minute recharge on the blessings. I think there aren't any other regular skills with 1 minute recharges? (Are there??)

And as for a penalty imposed for equipping a form skill, the simplest would probably be to make thr form skill an elite, much like dervish forms. And that would also prevent a dervish with Avatar of Balthazar and Volfen Blessing from becoming an armoured, holy damage dealing werewolf.

Man I cannot wait to turn my warrior into a werewolf

Sigh. Until Anet confirms, we'll have to just wait and see...


I also found confirmation that there will be a skill that works when Drunk. (Drunken master seems the obvious fit).

PvE-only skills allow them to be a little more directly for fun. “Be outrageous.” PvE-only skills are given out as quest rewards during the game. “You help a dwarf find some ale, and you get a skill that works better when you’re drunk.”

Thank you again for the find, I feel vindicated.

Time to stock up on Dwarf Ale and Drunkard title!

You know there may be more skills that are affected when you are Drunk. I ran across this skill description this morning.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feel_No_Pain

So what do you guys think? ANET has been hitting the bottle of late?

Drunken Master + Feel No Pain, FTA! (FOR THE ALE!)

Still searching for "Less Filling!" "Taste Great!" combo shouts.

I am pretty sure i read on one of the previews that one of the Norn PvE skill sactually does give you the Bear Form. Raven is listed as 120s recharge while Volfen and Ursan are listed as 60s
