Spirit Mode: Like. Chewing up monsters like never before. Maybe Overcharge isn't adding to my melee damage any more, but I don't really see a difference.

Weapon Skill: Don't care. Shield Bash seems pointless. But if I don't use it, it doesn't bother me.

Two-handed Weapon Skill is where it's at. Shatter Strike hits everything and stuns and weakens armor at the same time.

I just managed to barely (I'm talking no mana, 300 HP and every regular item slot used) squeeze out my first victory against Flying Spaghetti Monster thanks to the Spirit Mode and Weapon Skill changes.

That bugged me too the first time I saw it

Here too lol.

- Overcharge no longer directly boosts physical damage.

Doesn't that make the "Overcharge Boost" abilty pretty much useless for anyone not rich enough to afford all the ponies for the "OFC" or nowhere near lvl 300 for the "F-R-D"? It lets you use spirit mode longer, OK, but you also have to charge the meter proportionally longer. And when you use a special abilty like "shield bash" it takes away all of the charge whether it was 100% or 130%.

But you do more damage with more overcharge, also he is going to make it stop doing that in the future and allow us to chain skills. Another reason to have overcharge boost is to increase overall uptime of spirit stance and combining it with skill attacks

Even if wanted that skill that only use 200% of the overcharge I couldn't attain it since I haven't seen any pony drop in battle since this update. When they first started appearing last year I couldn't really figure out if more will drop if I increase Archaeologist or LOTD, deep down I figure they probably worth something more other than there sale price.

Had a Trixie Figurine drop yesterday. It is still luck that it even dropped at all, you still have to collect like 20+ of them for it to work. Ain't happening any time soon, that is for sure.

Protip: Orbital Friendship Cannon is weaksauce.

It seems there is no activity in the Bazaar for Materials. Is everyone just buying and selling to each other?

More damage with skills, but takes longer to charge up, so damage over time is probably the same or possibly even less (I don't think a skill with 200% overcharge does twice the damage compared to when done with 100% overcharge).
And spirit mode has a static damage bonus.

Right now, the only point in OC tanks is to get the first level so you have 110% OC, so you can activate spirit mode and then use your skill, for double damage.

Yes.
I believe the bazaar sells things for 10x the value of what it buys for.
So if you sell it on the forums instead, you can sell it for 5x of what you would get from the bazaar and the buyer would still get it at half price compared to the bazaar.
Everyone benefits greatly from it.

If someone made a nice program to help with buy/sell, make it a bit more automatic than having to go via the forums, then the bazaar would only be used as a trash heap for stuff nobody wants.

Yes.

120 % (or just a bit over 110) is better actually provided you have the APs, because it allows you to activate it on end round suffering generally minimum damage (only 1 monster), kill the monster in question (OC drain happens here) and then oneshot the whole room on the following round with Spirit Stance + Shatter - despite the drain from killing the last monster, you're still above 110 % and can do the 'combo'.

Otherwise, you have to activate it on the first turn, and since the speed for Spirit Stance activation seems pretty low, you give the whole room a chance to hit you - something you cannot afford on longer grind runs.

I've had very few token drops lately. Did Tenboro decrease their drop chance? Do you think tokens should be added to the bazaar under the special tab?

Can we have binding materials that decrease interference and burden?

No and No.

Maybe.

Hopefully someday there will be such bindings

Yes, every time you feel something happens more or less frequently than normal, it's because I secretly changed something, and I probably made it apply just for you just to throw you off.

A lot of people do wonder if you do make little tweaks to the HV between updates (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

He does. It's called fixing bugs.
