I'll stick with combat oriented skills thank you very much.
Well, with the mentoring being so powerfull now, if your main hero has lots of experience, you can use this mentoring ability to give some new heroes enough experience to be able to have this ability.

Well, that there won't be any additional maps in the open beta is very disappointing. People are going to get tired of that enormous multiplayer map soon.
I am also very suprised that we won't be able to play against each other through Conflux (i'm not breaking the NDA here, they just unveiled Conflux). I imagined Conflux to work like Battle.net in Starcraft 2, which basically matches you with another player within ten seconds. That would certainly help the balancing process of the game. But I hope the chat channels will be fixed in the open beta, could be fun since Heroes is a quite slow game.

Does Conflux mean we won't have to use a separate server like Hamachi? If so, any idea how reliable/fast Conflux will be?
All I know is that Homm5 was unbearable to play over the UBI server. Hamachi, or something similar, was pretty much required.

Well, as we know there are 3 Spell/Ability Tiers and if they are on the second tier, you have to be atleast level 10. Plus that its very likely that abilities that involve improving your town will require the Hero to stay within the town (like Recruitment in H5)

Maybe you don't have to be in your town but can be in one of your forts too....as it's all linked (area of control, etc.). Remember, forts are an addition to the series, now we have dwellings, forts and towns/cities.

You could check out the fan manual draft. The sticky posts at this forum contain most of the available information though.

NEW TACTICS ABILITIES:
Reinforcements II - Once per combat, one friendly Core or Elite stack can be reinforced. The bonus creatures disappear after combat.
Active ability - Rank 2
Duck and Cover - Cover from walls and obstacles is more efficient on all friendly creatures. Passive ability - Rank 1
Tactics III - After the Deployment phase, when seeing the enemy formation, one stack can be switched with another. If both sides have the ability, both can use it but none can see what the other changed. Passive ability - Rank 3
Wow! Reinforcements II and Tactics III really make for some hectic balancing! It's getting complicated now! Tactics III sound cool....imagine some movement/speed 8 creature lining up to one of your troops and you just simply do a move to avoid this....awesome! Now we can avoid those troublesome Harpies!

Reinforcements sounds like a strong ability. wonder how well it will be balanced.
But I have a different question.
Are all the skills introduced this week part of the Paragon skill tree? Some of them look more or less fitting to different skill trees

No they aren't. It's corrected on the french FB. On monday, they were Paragon skills, yesterday they were Realm skills and today they are Tactics skills. So you'll most likely get 3 skills from the 2 last might trees on thursday (Warcries) and friday (Warfare)

Yup, I reckon this is back big time....as Rockwall spell does not exactly protect troops from melee attack but from ranged attack.
Hey on the Rockwall screenshot, what is that 3rd creature on the ATB bar with 31 stack size?
