Only 540? damn it :/ wait, WHAT? how the hell are you able to do this many rounds? o_o Seriously, are we talking about normal difficulty here?

I can probably go to about 1.2k rounds on normal now, from the looks of things.

*after some arenas...*

Well, on a bright side, game became faster. Faster as in "less tedious and boring." And this is great.

Well, I was starting to consider changing from my set of Shield armor but this pretty much forces my hand. It keeps getting harder and harder to melee now. -sigh- Time to try and get a set of Shielding armor now...

What the hell. I guess that's directly related to mage's mana regen. Well, that makes sense. Just imagine how far you could go with a full phase/gossamer set of the frugal.

So I am curious, how rare are the new prefixes? And do all legendaries drop with a prefix now? I'm just wondering how quickly I will have to replace my shade. I guess I need all agile prefix now, lol.

nope. Resists is what kills you.

Giants need a speed penalty! Allowing them to have high speed, strength and endurance makes them too powerful.

Humanoids should retroactively be given two fewer levels of Dex and an extra level of Str and End so they're a bit stronger.

Hold on, I think in the opposite direction. Giants should be stronger and humanoids weaker, effectively
making elec strike weapons and light armor more equal to dark strike weapons and heavy armor.

But I agree, though I'm buffing a whole lot less I'm having to cure like crazy on IWBTH arenas and random encounters. I'm just learning how expensive curing can be, I'm really not used to using it.

Let me second that, as of this patch I found myself using cure so much I even added it to the quickbar.
However, while I'm powered up by scrolls I don't need cure but before this patch I didn't use scrolls
even though I knew they made me almost invincible. The reason IMO are too clumsy hotkeys for scrolls.

Which brings me to a suggestion, what if there was a second quickbar just for skills, scrolls and infusions?
3 skills + 4 scrolls + 3 infusions would make an another 10 button quickbar to fit neatly under the original one.

Tenboro. I saw that you posted some code. Dispite that testing in thefield showed that each piece counted twice before this patch. If someone could find that post for me that would be great. Should be in missing a wiki data.

Hmm. Welp. Ain't that a bitch.

For what it's worth, you're right, it was bugged. It looks correct, but it was actually using the raw equipment stats, not the processed/scaled ones. Which means it was actually adding.. somewhere between 100% and 125% the equipment's real mitigation, depending on your level.

Since heavy armor gets nerfed again and again why not remove it completely and just drop mage gear?

Do you really hate heavy melee so much? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I like this idea, well, really just the skill part. Doing skills is so tedious as it is...

That's not true. He hates Frith more.

Read something about Full plate armours from late medieval/renaissance - it had thicker plates on left arm to let knights block attacks without using shield.

That's assuming Tenboro actually is interested in outside influences. Last time I checked (mobs being able to make actions not normally viable during STUN) HV defied most other logic.

Just seems a bit more on warrior than mage in this patch (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Next patch shall be the downfall of mage if he removes damage bonus from prof.

I'm liking the new and improved Protection spell & scroll (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Plus the Spirit Tank seems to last a whole lot longer, even against Eilas 501st (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank you for the upgrade (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Then maybe a second quickbar isn't necessary.
But I know for sure that if infusions and scrolls had better hotkeys I'd use them a whole lot more.
Skills (which have no hotkeys at all) are lots of fun but I almost never use them, the reason being
that I prefer playing HV with a keyboard only.

nope. Resists is what kills you.

It is oh so much when EVERY monster in the round resists an AoE spell. Even more fun when it happens two to three AoE spells in a row.

Nothing like burning through 3 godly mana pots on a seven round IWBTH arena because monsters repeatedly resist 5+ times in a row so the only spells that hit are those that have the benefit of a channeling proc.

The new random speeds have also been really lucky with monsters getting a round robin attack after I cast Haste and then each other quick buff spell like Shadow Veil.
