Depends

Does blind set the hit rating to 0% final or does it just cut off a large chunk ?
Because if it's the latter, you're the millionth or so victim of unluckiness

It takes off a good chunk, but it definitely seems less effective now. Just had a battle using blind, the monster beside it that was not blind was actually missing more than the blinded one.

Now this one is much more useful than the weak Mind Raper.

@Tenboro: I didn't get any sort of death message when the Hedgehog finally killed the Cockatrice for me, nothing like "has been defeated", no line on this at all - is this normal? No negative sideeffects?

Probably missing a check, but there's no negative effects of it. The game only cares about the dead monsters at the end of the battle, not who killed them.

Like most things, the effect of blind depends on your proficiency. I can't remember changing it, but it currently takes off base 25% attack/magic hit chance.

Well it's time to adjust strategy again. I just took a beating in the Growing Storm arena challenge which is definitely a new experience for me. At one point I had to Cure myself 4 times in a row to keep up with the damage I was taking which absolutely destroyed my mana. Back to the drawing board and time to delay my next attempt and Endgame a bit longer.

Hmm.. doesn't feel like too much of a difference to me, then again I'm not exactly that high up there just yet. I like the new font though. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Edit: Alright I lied. I really really like the whole Magic Hit Chance upgrade. +_+ That's what was mostly killing me before. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Has weaken been tweaked again or does it just seem less effective because Im being hit more

Side request, any chance the cost of Regen could be dropped at all? I mean at one point Regen lasted 20 turns, then it dropped to like 12, now it's 10. It seems as my Curative proficiency has gone up (now at 97.81) the effect of Regen has decreased but the cost to cast it remains the same (currently at 47MP).

Im having the exact same issue. All of a sudden every fight my mp is raped from constant curing. Not only does my shield last less time but added to this Im less than happy with this new version. The hit/miss rate was fine the way it was. Why change it???

Business as usual. With every change some strategies become less viable, some become better. Time to adjust.

Imagine that the weapons will modify hit chances
Like two handed ones have greater damage and -% hit maybe thats why

Heh just fabricating XD

And I like increased % to hit with magic
Now it is who have bigger firepower
Bring it on Manthra XD

Everyone is complaining about their buffs and debuffs lasting two less turns now, but I haven't had any problems with it since my magic attacks have gone from resist resist resist to hit hit hit. The normal monsters never even get a chance to have the debuffs expire.

You're used to it as it is though. Like I said, Regen used to last 20 turns for me but now it lasts half as long. With the need to keep that cast in higher arena battles to stay afloat that really changes the landscape of battle. And also the fact that you also get hit more, the need to cure your ass off against larger mobs makes it a losing effort more often than not. Far as I can tell the need for Shadow Veil finally made itself apparent.

Maybe you could jack your agility up really high so they never hit you. It would be like a permanent shadow veil. The only drawback is you would have to play 200 turns per round due to all the rest of the attributes being crap.

I like the hit boosts. I really noticed that my attacks are missing less often, and I don't mind that I'm dodging less often because I always assume I get hit anyway.

However, I think you should make DEX and AGI boost hit a little more. DEX/10 and AGI/20 makes it feel like hit never goes up and makes DEX pretty useless, since AGI at least boosts speed and DEX boosting crit doesn't feel like it does anything since chance to crit is pretty small anyway.

My sleep still lasts 8 turns, unless I hit em, and now it also has a 50% chance of lasting longer when I do hit them than it used to.

Just a minor information bug. I had poisoned a monster than blasted them with a fireball. They thus had both searing skin and poison applied to them at once. They were almost dead and I took the opportunity to heal myself expecting the Scary Ghost to die next turn. Well, he did die by poison, but apparently searing skin felt left out or something:

11 9 You gain 36 Credits!
11 8 You gain 1353.19 EXP!
11 7 You are Victorious!
11 6 Scary Ghost has succumbed to its wounds.
11 5 Effect Searing Skin on Scary Ghost has expired.
11 4 Stop kicking the dead horse.
11 3 Spreading Poison hits Scary Ghost for 16 damage.
11 2 You are healed for 299 Health Points.
11 1 You cast Cure.
