Nothing super new except for the fact they zoom in on a lot of the branches (aka talents).

Nightblade Abilities
Fire and Death Attunement
Ranks: 3
Reduces damage taked by fire and death based abilities by 5%.
Flame Thrust
Ranks: 1
A finishing move that hurls a flaming weapon at the target, dealing weapon plus Fire damage and burns the target for an additional weapon plus Fire damage over 9 seconds. Energy cost is reduced with more Combo Points.
1 Point, 10 damage, 7 damage over 9 seconds
2 Points, 14 damage, 12 damage over 9 seconds
3 Points, 23 damage, 17 damage over 9 seconds
4 Points, 26 damage, 19 damage over 9 seconds
5 Points, 33 damage, 24 damage over 9 seconds
Glow in the Dark

Illumination
Ranks: 5

Improved Primal Strike
Ranks: 3
Your Primal Strike has a 10% chance to gain an additional Combo Point on the target.
Twilight Force
Ranks: 1
You imbue your weapon with deathly energy and hurl it at your enemy dealing weapon plus 12 to 14 Death damage. Awards 1 Combo Point.
Improved Twilight Force
Ranks: 2
Your Twilight Force reduces the target’s movement speed by 30% for 10 seconds.
Improved Weapon Flare
Ranks: 3
Your Weapon Flare burns your enemies for an additional 20% (30%?) damage over 6 seconds.
Twilight Stalker
Ranks: 2
Increases your movement speed while stealthing by 10%.
Interesting abilities there, though nothing at all new to the MMOG genre as the Nightblade takes a page out of the Warcraft rogue class.
However, there is one thing that is a mystery to me. If you watch the video, they show the soul tree screen of a Nightblade and then shortly after they show a soul tree of a Elementalist and a Warlock combination. Apparently the Nightblade and the Elementalist are exactly the same class.
Maybe it’s a glitch, but check this out:
You can see that they are showing the same ability “Flame Thrust”.
Very puzzling. What do you think it is?
UPDATE:
Sweet from the Official Forums:
Hey all, just wanted to quickly clarify something. The Nightblade and Elementalist are very different classes, I’m not sure what happened with the video but I can assure the two Souls look nothing alike and don’t use the same mechanic system
Finally, we got a quick sneak peak at some Ranger talents and abilities. These were hard to read, correct me if you think I’m wrong.
Ranger Abilities
Awareness
Ranks: 2
Increases your stealth detection by 4 levels.
Improved Quick Shot
Ranks: 3
Your Quick Shot has a 33% chance to make your target bleed, dealing an additional 33% of your ability’s damage over 6 seconds.
Killing Focus
Ranks: 2
Increases Physical damage with range weapons by 3%.
Trickshot
Ranks: 1
A ranged attack that ricochets among 5 targets dealing 27 to 60 damage, in addition to your ranged weapons damage. Awards 1 Combo Point.
Improved Trick Shot
Rank 1
Each additional target affected by Trick Shot has a 5% chance to add 1 Combo Point.
So during a slow period waiting for GamesCom we get a little bit of information that we can all share and speculate on. The major question though is an Elementalist a Nightblade in sheep’s clothing?
