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.
-- Note that this is added to YOUR level before being plugged into the calculation.

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

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?

It was never the strongest set, but it was fun to play. I never did find those shoes. ;_;

It barely pays for a single cast of cure.

I would say it was a nice nerf for the IWBTH schoolgirl run I was on.

Other than my Phys and Magic Mit dropping like a rock (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) , the update looks like fun (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Still tougher than nails for us poor mages, but I'll get over it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i welcome these changes.
monsters hit us harder now that our defensive stats/resistances took a hit.
but we also hit them harder since its much harder for them to dodge and stuff like bleed stack.
makes the game faster

i forget but there isnt any need for ability resets right?.
i could have sworn that we could only increase the max level for auras with ability points.
it took trainings to get aura slots

- Infusions and Shards now share a loot table.

so there will be less shards in the future?

Previously I was getting like 50mana back.
Now I only get 20mana back and if I got crit-ed then the time is wasted

- 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.

that's kill all my motivation (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

What does "retired mean"? Will it no longer drop, what happens to things like astral weapons?
