Ok i would like some clarification please on the melee changes...

First, regarding disciplines... i understand that they are moving to be incorporated with the endurance bar (which will act like a casters mana bar)... but, does anyone one know how much endurance duelist will cost? and or how fast we regen enduance?

Second, is there a difference between the skills associated with openings and the abilities associated with endurence?

It would seem that if some of the abilities are not opening dependent and just requires endurance a big difference would occur for pure melee's. I hope that is the case.

Can someone help me figure this out.

No we dont know that yet.. it is still being tuned.

There are multiple skills that will require endurance.. all of the /disc will require endurance but are not associated with openings. The new melee skills will also require endurance and are associated with openings.. altho there has been talk of reworking the opening system so nobody really knows for sure how its going to end up.

They are associated because the costs for both come from the same pool. Therefore, having just used a high end disc could prevent you from having access to certain "Opening" type skills. Vice Versa, using too many "Opening" skills in succession may prevent you from having the availability of your disciplines.

Used incorrectly the CAS(Combat Ability System) could actually reduce your combat effectiveness in certain scenario's.
