--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not bound by an NDA nor am I in beta, these were copied from a public board
Progression AAs
Curse of Blood
A strange power courses through your blood. You sense a purpose, a desire, a secret waiting to be told.
Affliction of Blood
The curse within your blood grows stronger. A sense of foreboding plays at the back of your mind.
Torment of Blood
The curse spreads further, seeping into your thoughts and plaguing your dreams. Shadows lurk on the edge of vision, haunting your steps.
Temptation of Blood
The curse permeates your being but gone is the fear and foreboding, replaced by a craving and longing to bask in the darkness that surrounds you.

General AAs

This ability permanently enhances your vision allowing you to see the invisible.

by 20 percent per rank.
Cascading Rage
This ability infuses you with a primal rage, increasing your melee abilities but you will also take damage as you push yourself beyond your means. The rage starts slow, but each additional rank you have in the ability increases its maximum potential. Be warned, once the rage has taken hold of you, the only way to stop it is to let it run its course.
Cry of Battle
This ability causes your next War Cry to hit everyone within its radius at the cost of doubling the endurance used.
Magician
Elemental Phasing
This ability causes your elemental to shift rapidly between the elemental and physical planes. Any attack made against the elemental during this effect has a chance to miss as it must strike while the elemental is in the correct plane. Additional ranks increase the chance that attacks will miss your elemental.
Elemental Adept
This ability increases the maximum effectiveness of your pet healing spells by 2, 5, and 10 percent.
Gift of Mana
Whenever you cast a level 65 or higher spell, this ability grants you an innate chance for the next spell you cast after that to only cost a single point of mana.

Extended Burnout
This ability increases the duration of your Frenzied Burnouts by 12 seconds per rank.
Cleric
Ward of Purity

Use of this ability calls forth the spirit of a wild bear to attack your opponent for a brief time. Additional ranks increase the time before the bear returns to nature.
Necromancer
Blood Magic
This ability allows you to fuel your spells directly from your health instead of from your mana. Blood magic is dangerous, though. Spells will drain more health than they would use mana and every time you cast a spell while Blood Magic is in effect, there's a chance that the penalty will grow. Once you have started using Blood Magic, you cannot stop until it wears off by itself or you die.
Graverobbing
This ability decreases the amount of time required between uses of Wake the Dead or Army of the Dead by one minute per rank.

Through the use of this ability, you can call upon ancestral spirits to protect you from harm for a brief period. The spirits will absorb a portion of the damage you would normally take. Additional ranks increase the percent of damage that the spirits take instead of you.
Monk
Hastened Death
This ability decreases the amount of time required between uses of Imitate Death by four minutes per rank.
Unflinching Resolve
This ability grants a chance to endure what would otherwise be a stunning blow, from any angle, without being stunned.
Weightless Steps
Years of training allows the monk to increase their base movement run. This increase does not stack with movement rate spell effects.
Bard
Hastened Blades
This ability decreases the amount of time required between uses of Dance of Blades by four minutes per rank.
Improved Harmonious Attack
This ability increases your chance of performing a double attack in any given combat round.
Cacophony
This ability engulfs your target in a barrage of discordant noise, causing it to take damage for the duration of the effect. Every time this effect causes damage, it also has a chance to interrupt any spells being cast. Additional ranks improve both the damage and the chance to interrupt spells.
Joleena's Perfect Melody
On occasion, the best bards can raise their performance to levels normally unachievable by mortal hands. When that occurs, they attract the attention of nature spirits who come to watch the performance. This ability calls a number of nature spirits into existence to harry your target. The first rank of the ability calls 3 spirits and each additional rank adds an additional spirit.
Deep Sleep
This ability gives you an innate chance to put an NPC into a deep sleep when you mesmerize it.

Additional ranks increase the effectiveness of the ability and the chance for it to occur.
Rogue
Forced Opening
Each rank in this ability increases the chance that you can make a normal backstab from any angle.

Appraisal
This ability allows you to estimate the selling price of an item you are holding on your cursor.
Precision Strikes
Each rank in this ability increases the minimum damage you will do on any backstab.
Warrior
Hastened Defiance
This ability decreases the amount of time required between uses of Warlord's Tenacity and Resolute Defiance by 10 percent per rank.
Luring Feint
This ability allows you to feint a brief retreat and cause your opponent to move closer to you.

Really nice AA's! I like the necro one where you cast from your health pool. Creative abilities like that are great. "Your assplunder technique will do 10 more damage!" AA's are not.

Eh...I'm worried about that lol. It will be cool if it doesn't last really long though, but if it is on me for like a half hour, I'm going to have to tap every other spell lol.

Sure, babe! I'm still planning on flying out there this summer. Maybe we could meet at a hotel and have **** behind your hubby's back? If we do, I bet I can arrange that guild epic raid you've been wanting

Gift of Mana - must have
Guardian of Ro, Extended Burnout - good to have (can never go wrong with more damage. Frenzied Burnout has been decent ever since they fixed it :p)
Elemental Phasing - must have for any soloing mage. More Avoidance!
Elemental Adept - so-so. I didn't think healing focus would be good until I got an item with a big one on it... loving it now. More focus can't hurt, I suppose. Decent in raids with AEing mobs.
I'm sure you'll love the new spells, though. That should go for all classes - they're more than just the same old stuff.

Explain the monster thing to me.
Can you just pick any monster to play as and then run around killing mobs while your main character gets xp (however marginal that xp is)?
Do you make a monster character or something at login and gain xp that way?

From what I understood, it was a way to group with lower level friends, and still credit your main.
You'd get a few monsters to choose from, and as you do progression, you get more choices, and larger ones, and more instances.
But then again too, that was all hearsay. Haven't been in the beta, nor heard more details to what has changed or implemented.

I got into beta, but never got the chance to actually play in it, but from the screenshots I've seen you get specific monster forms with the spirit shrouds and they're made for specific class / job type so that you can balance out a group when using the shroud instead of having everyone being the same thing(for those in the group that would have to use this to exp with lower lvl people). It's a pretty neat feature, it's EQ's solution to like EQ2's /mentor trick. I'm getting the expansion mainly so I can sell my drogmor and get me a clockwork boar(if they have buyable ones in game) and for the beastlord AAs which are looking good.

Not really that creative considering Shamans got this ability in OoW. I think the hp compared to mana cost is 200% or more, curious to see how bad/good necros will get it.

Buy the digital download and get a unique gargoyle spirit shroud.
Buy the retail box and get a unique clockwork boar mount additionaly to the unique gargoyle spirit shroud.
That shroud is what you use to play as a monster - ie you can be a gargoyle.
Now that the beta NDA has been lifted, here's the full list of AAs:
| Quote: |
PROGRESSSION
* Curse of Blood
A strange power courses through your blood. You sense a purpose, a desire, a secret waiting to be told.
* Affliction of Blood
The curse within your blood grows stronger. A sense of foreboding plays at the back of your mind.
* Torment of Blood
The curse spreads further, seeping into your thoughts and plaguing your dreams. Shadows lurk on the edge of vision, haunting your steps.
* Temptation of Blood

and about the shrouds:
| Quote: |
Playing with our friends of all levels is now possible with the Shroud system you have heard so much about, but what is it, and how does it work?
ShroudKeepers such as Learu, Nisua and Hyush will be available in different high traffic zones for you to visit and are easily accesible by everyone who has the expansion. They will greet you and offer a wide variety of templates for you to choose from. At its most basic level you may be a crowd controller, direct damage, rogue/berserker, or a warrior. What makes this complex is that you have several categories to choose from, and the various monsters in each template vary in ability and skills.
These are: (Subject to change)
Aberrations
*Imp Wizard (DD fire/frost/thunder)
*Evil Eye Psion (CC manaDD, remove curse, sleep, pure thought, spirit sending)
*Evil Eye Sorcerer (as wizard)
*Imp Trickster (as Psion + swarm dot + smoke bomb)
*Gargoyle Fighter (Warrior with DPS + shielding)
Animals
