Zhu Xian (Chinese version of JD) has just recently gotten its expansion for Incense Mage and Taiho, which means an expansion for Jade Dynasty is due in a few months. The expansion will introduce a complete overhaul of the current JD and EVERY faction will be affected. Highlights of the expansion include:
The new factions of Incense Mage and Taiho (probably the Barbarian faction in JD, but we are unsure at this point)!
Even BETTER graphics and a brand new 3D game engine
Every faction will have their skills changed for balancing reasons (human faction skills will be UPGRADED to be on par with athan)
New gears, fashion, esper, mounts, skyblades, and pets
Brand new maps and revamping of maps (notably Sunstream)
New events, instances, and bosses
Incense Mage:
-- The 1st Human to obtain the powers of the world which belong to the "Ancients" *A.K.A Athans.
-- Although a Master of many skills prefers Fire element as its primary weapon and the power to control the flow of energy to connect mind and soul with his blades
1. The Incense Mage is a Master of controlling your very own skills and using them against you by diverting your flow of Qi.
2. They are Adapt Close Range Fighters when need to be but be warned no one is safe long range they have deadly flames that consume entire areas with a word of command.
3. Their Ultimate opens the gates of heavens to send forth "The End Of Days" attack which rains upon all a bombardment of flame meteors
4. They can also call the Aid of spirit beasts to help them along their fighting, with the strongest been the Flame Dragon.
5. Just like The Celan/Rayans having their own unique battle system to improve skills the Incense Mage possesses theMatrix System by combining Magic with might a flurry of combos can be unleash with a spectacular show displaying colors.
6. Not only are they good for mass destruction but due to their nature of magic they can also be a great defensive asset in fights.By creating invisible shields and walls to trap enemies around areas. The Incense Mage truly is the Master Of War and Power.
7. - Notes on Spirit Summons : Spirits summons are not like Arden that last forever they are actually based on # of party members and classes that is within the party because the Matrix system basically combines different classes to form an Array skill for all party members which than summons the spirit aid with its own unique affect. so potentially incense mage can and will have affects similar to ReflectThunder BladeSkyseeker just not as strong or not exactly the same but tats an extreme example I am sure its not that easy to use.
Taihao II. The Athan Faction - Descendant of the god of War himself - A Martial Artist Fist User is born!
-- The Athan that is said to have obtained the power to seal the gods himself with his bare hands
-- They Say the Taiho cause Earthquakes just from the massive amount of force being drawn into their powers. However many side affects do happen because of the nature of their technique
--- besides being the master of hand to hand combat they also have a very unique magnetic energy around them able to Expel - Repel - Or Draw In enemies at will.
I exceeded the limit of pictures but never fear more can be seen by
1. The Taiho is a Master of controlling the flow of movement and speed, they can unleash devastating rapid attack infused with thunder and lightning
2. Although strong 1v1 do not be fooled they can attack a wave of enemies by actually pulling them from far distances to close range and quickly attacking their weak spots.
3. Just like Rayan/Celan they posses their own unique battle system the Batter System basically the more attack you perform within a set duration the longer the lasting affect and the greater the dmg of it.
4. If infused with Lightning their bodies shrink in size but their speed is increase and they can perpetually stun some one if combo right to death
5. If Infused with Thunder their bodies will grow each attack gets stronger and stronger and you can actually obtain the HP and MP you are taking away from your opponent also slowing them and paralyzing them.
6. Their Ultimate ability actually takes into account if you are alone or together with a party? Not sure on this but their ultimate is
Fist of the Iron God And Impenetrable Light Of The Battle Field.
