Is there any improvement towards DW proc ? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Make all-shade evasion accumalating toward 200%, e.g. 200%*(1-PI(1-evade(i)/2)).
Maybe a cap at 112.5% (=90% after anti-evade), but it's not even remotely possible by current equips/char level.

Or simply make all-shade evasion additive, with a cap likely 80% after anti-evade or 90% before anti-evade.
It's unrealistic but possible to reach 100%, while impossible for 125%.

It should only apply to all-shade, or shade armors are still comparatively rubbish.

Are you sure? People are saying shade is at least competitive with stacking PMI now, so...

I think now avoidance has its uses now that you simply can't just tank your way through without getting shaken up anymore.

Maybe this will entice players to try out shield and shade more so than before.

Which is good IMO, we always need variety.

Now for mages on the other hand, we still have to melt faces to get melted (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

It's bloodily wrong.
PMI is amplified by protection, and numberically higher than evasion (plus shade armors tend to have a shitty roll).

And evasion works badly with regen.
And evasion works badly with SP shield.
And there is anti-evade.
And numerically 70-80% PMI (before protection) is not that hard, 60-70% evade OTOH is ...
And now elemental weapons kills a lot of evade.

Shade is comparatively a little less shitty if you consider feathers are not available.
However it is easy to sustain 50%-100% equips feather enchanted.

You basically described Phase as well (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Do you think it'd work if SV is changed so that it works identical to Protection, but for evade instead?

Finally, someone who understands the problem.
The lower-level guys are all saying that this new ET is better than the old one.

Where are these stupid shits? I haven't seen people complaining about it, which is part of why I was confused and annoyed it got changed in the first place. While the self-buff for us is nice in that it will continue if they die, everything else about it is worse.

Well I generate 25 MP which is hardly anything. means to leech myself full I have to stop by and wait.
Good luck with that deeper inside a GF (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Good fucking god, you're 100 levels higher than I am (not an exaggeration) and you only get back 5 more mp per turn (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I guess Schoolgirl marathons were too easy and Tenboro is determined to make them as tedious and unrewarding as possible (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

An option to get pony riddles only (no more mazes).
As they are better bot-stoppers than mazes, I don't see why we should not have this.

Nah, I don't think he even understands what the effects of this ET change did.
Look at his responses in the 0.73 thread.

Tenboro has denied this request as many times as it has been suggested (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yeah, well...

TBH though aside from marathons I've never really used ET, so...

It's ONLY used for marathons (Schoolgirls, High-diff IW, Fests).
Good luck doing those now as a Mage with crippled ET. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Nah, rephrase:

Good luck doing it with mage with any kind of speed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Mostly, but shade is supposed to be melee, that is, tougher than phase. (and practically shade's damage is much lower than phase)
Before current patch, with STR+END, it's kind of so.
Now PAB is nurfed, the gap is even closer...

Do you think it'd work if SV is changed so that it works identical to Protection, but for evade instead?

Maybe 100% amplify phase/kevlar and 200% amplify shade.
But it's still kind of insufficient.

Change OC gain rates with each fighting style.

DW fastest, surely.
One-Handed second, if only with successful blocks as it is now.
Niten Ichiryu third.
Two-Handed (although it pains me to say) second to last.
Staff last.

Good?

Staff (from spells and wacking)

Magic missile gives same OC as whacking, none for other offensive spells.

DW gives overcharge for offhand strike if it procs (niten half of that)

Discard HV and start over with a grid-based tactical RPG.

Isn't that what HV is, D&D and Diablo have a demon spawn frankensteined with a few other RPGs? You've got a ragetastic drop mechanic, a malevolent GM, players whining about their twinked out chars getting pwned by balancing, etc. Though we are missing the whole "You enter a room..." stuff.

Another suggestion:
Instead of a "patch", call them "editions".
