The latest patch to Aion is around the corner with a speculated release date of around spring (Late to Mid-May). This is to be one of the biggest updates since the games release with the addition of 2 new classes and a level cap increase. What IÔÇÖve seen so far has gotten me really excited!
Two New Classes
The Bard and Gunslinger will be the new classes offered in the 4.0 patch. Both look amazing, the videoÔÇÖs below will show them off far better than I can explain:

Level Cap Increased to 65
With the Aion 4.0 update, the level cap is increasing to 65! And of course, a higher level cap means new skills! Please keep in mind these skills are still being tested, so names and descriptions are subject to change. (Some might possibly be removed) That being said, let's have a look!
The following skills can be grouped into three categories:
Survival reinforcement
Since the upcoming Katalam Region is a PvP zone, these skills will be vital to your survival!

RvR (Raid vs Raid) reinforcement
The following skills reinforce your attacks, which will be useful during siege warfare in Aion!

Charged skills
A new type of skill, charged skills can change the tempo of fights for casters! These skills have cumulative or stronger effects the longer you charge them, but be warned that this will increase the casting time! It's up to the caster to decide whether a more powerful spell is worth the risk of taking longer to cast.
