it would be nice if the new light armors drop in "of the slaughter" or "battlecaster" any chance of this in the future?

Hey Tenb~

Just wanted to say good job on the update. even Boggyb seems to like it (for the most part).

With magic ratings now being inactivate are their any plans to remove them from the tree? I know you mentioned in an earlier post that you haven't got round to updating the ability trees yet.

If you haven't decided yet, can I suggest they become resistance instead? rather than just deleting them from the tree, or just convert them to another function.

Just throwing that out there.

They are resistance right now. Compare the resistance on your equipment screen to what you get from equipment, and the difference should be the abilities (+auras) you have.

Note that for armor, you have to wear a full set of an armor type to get the benefits - that is, stick to either cloth, light or heavy.

Instead of 1/5th per piece?

CODE

Armor proficiency
Shield 42.29
Cloth armor 82.45
Light armor 20.13
Heavy armor 27.33

Well there goes my plan to slowly phase in the armors. :/

- Fixed a bug where the proficiency bonus from equipment didn't count towards the additional duration for deprecating spells.

I wasn't sure that was happening or not - now I know it wasn't. Thought maybe I just didn't have enough of a boost to notice. Thanks for fix! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Overall, seems like a good patch with new armors and not too bad of nerfs. I'll have to beat cakefest on some level 300 exquisites I guess, before depending on light/heavy armor. I still think the healing missing was a big surprise - I was like: Where'd it go?! Oh no - got to wait on self-healing! Then I figured to check for an update. Yep, nerfed due to uselessness when you can just use cheap lesser health/mana potions. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Wait, you mean those ratings I trained up in ability tree are useless for offense? I thought it was the EDB ones for armors that didn't affect the defenses. Damn that will hurt, especially without resetting trees. And BTW I don't have a green aura, and never planned on it but maybe now... hehe in a few dozen levels.

Light Armor Changes

- Shade Armor, a new type of Light Armor, was added. This is a rare low-burden high-evade/resist type armor with
--- Arcanist adds a bonus to magic accuracy, increases the resist bonus, and halves the interference.

Almost missed this, care to elaborate? It's after all equipment calculated together or what?

I'd assume it halves the interference of the piece it appears on.

an interesting update indeed!

This is probably a stupid question, but still, since the difference is massive, I was wondering if the heavy armor set bonus is applied to the final total after all the burden is added together, or if it's applied to each piece of armor individually?

0.5.3

Out-of-battle Restoratives

A new function has been added that allows you to use restoratives to restore your health/magic/spirit/stamina outside of battles. These options can be found by clicking the "Restoratives" button found below the vital bars.

Can we get an option to restore health using our cure spells? My Mana restores percentage-wise faster than my health, such that it would save some waiting time to be able to heal using spells then just wait for the mana to replenish.

My current spirit point level is 101. I used the restorative function and it took THREE greater spirit potions to fully charge.




That's a little bit much. 1 1/2 should of put it near full.

Can we get an option to restore health using our cure spells?

being able to use cure spells as one of the out if battle restorative options would be great (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You already have that. It's called start any battle and click cure.

Yea, jumping into a single grindfest round on cake to heal up with spells and then fleeing hardly seems all that arduous.

Thanks for the update.
I think I am happy with this update! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i know i said last post that i was done asking questions, and this is sort of sidebar but would it be possible to make a link to HV in the forums header? or even a link back to E-H main page? this has been a small Pet peeve of mine since i started HV that when browsing the forums only there is no way to navigate back into HV its the only part of the E-H network without a link to the rest of the network.

wow... ok disregard this post.... NEWS does exactly what i wanted.

I tried to think of a fun way to tell you that there isn't a newspost about this yet but I couldn't come up with anything.

There is not newspost about this.

Still hoping there will be a testing mode at monster lab so I can test my own monster(s). (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Something ppl should realize:
Mage power stayed around the same. Conquest had over 100% fire edb before 5.3, and with the 150% buff to edb phase, he would have over 150% fire edb, making up for the ~50% loss in ratings. Mages just have to invest more in equip rather than ap. This is a way to even the playing field for players who do not have pre-nerf phase. Some ppl are pissed b/c they (I am including myself here) have pre-nerf phase and brought it for a high price.

I should mention that above conquest's level, you'll probably be doing more damage than pre-patch.

AH
SUGGESTION:
Can we have more RiddleMaster puzzles? I'm getting one every 20 rounds... and doing the same maze is boring... maybe something with hentai?

OK, not even close. Regen is better. For me, regen gives 60 pts for 18 rounds at a cost of 23 mana (46.96 health/mana) ; cure is 685 for 18 mana (38.06 h/m). So... never mind!
I have to say that other than forcing a rethink, I don't mind this update at all. If i had more equip, I might have cause to whine, but I don't so I can get some now. Or y'all can send me some. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But I still wish that custom mobs showed their monster type at the beginning of the round instead of "hostile".

Excuse me,

Does the proficiency gain rate been decreased?

Because after I finished my daily Arena, I found that my elemental proficiency increased less than before.
