Don't take this the wrong way since I like euros more, but at later caps, chinese skills get more specialized
Totally true,so no wrong way to take it.Specialized does not nessecarily mean more powerful though,remember that the higher chinese go up the more they will have to sacrifice.Old school was 4 trees almost maxed or fully maxed,the higher chinese go up,slow but steady only 2 trees will be possible.
Then it's a matter of what u want more,speed+dmg incr(lightening) or defense(ice) Or u want top damage and go with fire?It doesn't matter how u look at it.Euro's wont have this problem because all skills needed are combined in 2 trees and no need for imbues.
Sure it's true that Chinese will get some kickass new skills,as you mentioned Bower will get new skill with longer range,however Xbow's range and skillranges are by default longer and a passive will come along increasing the range even more.Bladers get cool new skills as well,but really nothing that gives u the WOW-Factor,all the cool effects chinese will get later on are already in the hands of euro.
However, unless at 120 cap, they add onto euro skills, a wizard is stuck with the level 80 skills, which although powerful will not increase in power in terms of %. The chinese nukes however, increase over and over, so you end up with 330% (fire) at 100 cap, maybe 360% at 120 cap, so a pure int chinese will end up with damage close to that of a wizard because they can add in the imbue to somewhat make up for the difference in weapon m.atk. STR will probably get some higher dmg updates too, while euros are stuck with their skills since they only update 1ce so far. So in the end, chinese might be equal in dmg, and just have less diversity in their skills.
Edit: I just noticed that aerial teleport increases by 3m every 20 levels, while shadow increases by 0.5m every 6 levels, so around 1.5m every 20 levels... ends up that at lvl 140, they are both the same range, 27m. The nukes, increase by 50% from 30 to 50, then fire nuke increases by 30% at 90+, so the next increase will probably put them at 350%, which isn't that significant even if you add imbue,since wizards get a passive that doubles the increase from mastery. so at 140 cap, they get 140% from mastery same as chinese, but they also get 140% from passive, and the imbue just adds 100%, doesn't act as a multiplier, so nukers will actually end up weaker in comparison to now, even with the extra 50% on skill dmg.
What was interesting to notice though, is sprint assault Every 2 levels of the skill(8 levels total), it increases KB by 4%, and every 4 levels of the skill (16 levels total) it increases stun by 2%. With skill starting at level 30, 40%KB, 25% stun. That means. AT level 140, KB will be 110/8 x 4% = 13 (and 6 levels remaining) x 4% = 52% extra KB (total of 92% at lvl 134). Stun will increase by 110/16 x 2% = 7 (and 8 levels remaining) x 2% = 14% extra stun chance (Total of 39%. If it was up to 150, the numbers would work out better....
In comparison, the chinese chances remain stationary, so at higher caps warriors are also much better than str chinese, especially since the passive acts on the dmg of the skill so, 140% x skill dmg, which is much better than any dmg increase chinese would get from their updated skills (unless they get 500% skills or something).
). I'm a pure int chi nuker wearing armor (no sosuns on hercules server). Wizzy hunter was invisible and hiding in safe zone. I came out, 20 seconds later, they're both dead. I've got no sosuns, just your regular pure int nuker. So yeah, in that narrow sense I would say a pure int chi nuker is better (at least for me).[/color]

Do your homework. Cleric dies, one of the 4 people in the party with sub cleric rezzes them. Chinese gets full sun+9, still dies.
