Just tested Estoc vs Scythe. Both pretty good!

Estoc is still faster. Maybe allow up to 350% Bleed on 2hand and 500% on one Hand weapons so people will use this over Clubs.

The Forge

- A new (default) tab was added to the Forge menu that only shows the currently equipped items.

nice

- Natural Void weapons (post-patch Ethereal and Hollowforged) now automatically gain an additional unique Void Strike effect.
-- This does NOT count towards the enchantment limit, so Natural Void weapons can have a total of three Elemental Strikes.

Post-patch...

- Burden and Interference now have a higher base, but no longer scale with equipment level.

Post-patch (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif), still sucks (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).

Magic Changes
- Curative Magic Proficiency has been removed. Curative spells are now instead affected by Supportive Magic Proficiency.

Now add Regen to IA. Please.

- Penetrated Armor: Now stacks up to three times, -33% physical mitigation per stack. (Changed from outright -100% phys mit.)

Poop

- The outermost 0.2x damage strike for Two-Handed was removed.

So we can only hit 7 monsters now?

- Specific mitigations no longer use gear level scaling.

- The forumla for primary stat contributions to Physical Mitigation and Magical Mitigation has changed, and is now 100 * (1 - (1200 / (1200 + STAT1 + STAT2 / 2)))), where STAT1 is end, and STAT2 is str for phys and wis for mag. Hard capped to 80, were you ever to get that high.

- Elemental mitigation bonuses from auras were removed.

So much mit lost

- Difficulty modifiers for effective level for calculation of monster ranges were adjusted, and are now (starting with Hard) +5/10/20/30/50/75/100.
-- Note that this is added to YOUR level before being plugged into the calculation.

Frith will be happy

- Aura Slots were removed. There are no longer any arbitrary limitations to how many auras can be active.

Do I have to reset my tree to get the 3 points back?

"Keep Calm and Grind On"

i lol'd

otherwise it seems promising to me.

Ethereal in the current patch still gets void strike.

no refund for the removal of aura slots?

all "of the Priestess" became useless now....

Which is a concern for the three people who were using it I'm sure.

Where is the refund? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Everyone who DOESN'T get on my tits about it will get it eventually, everyone else can sod off.

Hey boss, Ether tap not working:

Should work properly on deathblows now.

Ethereal in the current patch still gets void strike.

"Post-patch" in the sense of "after that patch that changed the damage type from soul to void". Could probably have been clearer.

Priestess stuff are totally useless now.
Does it mean they will no longer drop any more?

BIG thanks for "Equipped" Tab!

Magic Changes
- Curative Magic Proficiency has been removed. Curative spells are now instead affected by Supportive Magic Proficiency.

Does this mean regen/regenII are any closer to being IA-able?

Tenboro, what's the factor in determining the amount of ET gained back?

Is it based on our max mana now?

- Infusion of Gaia, Astral weapons, Soulproof armor and Priestess gear has been retired.

Priestess stuff are totally useless now.
Does it mean they will no longer drop any more?

"Post-patch" in the sense of "after that patch that changed the damage type from soul to void". Could probably have been clearer.

My Legendary Ethereal Scythe only has 2 Strikes. Do I have to re IW it to get a 3rd strike?

Which is a concern for the three people who were using it I'm sure.

;_;

- Difficulty modifiers for effective level for calculation of monster ranges were adjusted, and are now (starting with Hard) +5/10/20/30/50/75/100.

So, is this why I'm fighting power level 900+ monsters that can kill me in 1 crit if not hit today...?

Seriously, just wow..

Tenboro, what's the factor in determining the amount of ET gained back?

Base mana. The old one was based on a lot of factors (like the target's MP), but the new one is a simple mana heal over time

My Legendary Ethereal Scythe only has 2 Strikes. Do I have to re IW it to get a 3rd strike?

Why would it get three strikes? The third one has to come from an enchantment.

How about the ability point for aura slots, could it be back eventually or by resetting abilities?

- Ebony Staffs were rolled into Redwood Staffs to create a new, slightly more powerful variant with bonuses to Elemental, Supportive and Deprecating magic.

Slightly more powerful relative to old redwood staffs, or slightly more powerful relative to ebony staffs?

Do new redwood staffs just come with EDBs for fire/ice/wind/electric, and are these bonuses higher than what was possible on ebony staffs? Are redwood staffs different in any other way, like higher max base MDM? According to our equipment ranges data on the wiki, old redwood staffs had lower max base MDM values than ebony staffs. (Although this may just be due to under-reporting...) The same applies for other stats, like magic accuracy.

You mind taking another look at that? I'm getting an absurdly tiny amount of mana back.

Oh I understood wrong then (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Another Problem. The shrine does only give redwood now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

What about switching over the bonus on existing Priestess gear from Curative (now gone) to Supportive?
