newly generated shade armor has about 15% more interference

I guess it is a bad news for who wants to upgrade his shade armor.

clear your cache and reload HV, repeat until uncorrupted

Thanks, This works well. k+ for advice. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

New HP modifiers for anyone interested

Ethereal staff still sucks. The loss of 3% evade doesn't mean much for the loss of power.
Great news for other ethereal weapons though.

EOD takes tons more mana now with triple monster's HP, I need to use about 2-3 more godly mana potions per run.

Fighting against FSM in BT is much simpler though, need 4 less godly mana potions. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Edit: Thanks Tiap. It seems better to play in difficult arenas now.

Edit 2: It makes IW double sucks with the hp buff. When are we going to have that reamped?

Need a quickcast-able button for skill.. so people can quickly and efficiently GO NUTS!

BTW, like every good patch in the past. This patch also include evade nerf, so it's a good patch. No testing needed to verify this claim.

Damn it! ... Too sleepy to test anymore. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It seems that when in Spirit Mode, there is no spell cost increase.
Not sure if it is intended or not

[Edit]
Hmm, might be because my mana cost is less than 125%, so the decrease in mana cost from Spirit mode just evens it out.

It seems better to play in difficult arenas now.

Not sure about this, Hell feels tougher than it did before the patch.

- Spirit Stance no longer increases magic damage by 50%; instead it reduces mana cost for all spells by 25%. (This includes upkeep for Innate Arcana.)

- Interference now has the following effects:
-- Magical Crit is reduced by 2% for every point of interference, capping at 50.
-- Mana Cost is increased by 0.5 for every point of interference.

An interesting way to increase/decrease Mana Cost, but considering Cloth armor has no Interference, this seems to impact Melee's more than Mages. Melee's have an increased cost and have to mitigate it with Spirit Stance, while Mages will only experience a small increased cost with a non-eth staff. (Though in hindsight, this seems fair considering mages need MP constantly.)

- Activating Spirit Stance now requires at least 50% Overcharge.

Fair enough. Mages need to whack a few times to even access it before they get a Mana Cost decrease.

- Burden now has the following effects:
-- Evade is reduced by 4/3rd of a percent for every point of burden, capping at 75 where no evade remains.
-- Physical Crit is reduced by 2% for every point of burden above 75, capping at 125.

Good to see my Crit Chance isn't affected, but man, Evade took a nosedive. Not sure how this and the Interference change will affect Arcanist gear... Heavy Armor seems impossible to use now.

- Newly generated Shade Armor no longer has burden, but interference was increased slightly.

More evade for increased Mana Cost? Not sure if want. I'm guessing that Shadowdancer's main thing is the crit chance increase rather than the 0 Burden?

-- Undead: dark -25, cold -25, elec -25, wind -25, str +1

My god. Were Undead OP?

- Monster health now scales by an additional factor of 1/200 per level. Monster health bonus for increasing difficulty was decreased.

That HP buff is a bit high, isn't it? Killing enemies as a melee took long enough already without them suddenly gaining 2+* health.

I'll test out the later DW skills sometime later in the day. Gotta sleep.

All skills now have a cooldown.

There goes my reason for switching to melee. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
Back to maging I guess. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Mana Cost is increased by 0.5 for every point of interference.
What a happy day for tanks.
Fights end a lot faster now.

Does the Dovahkiin title still SUCK! Compared to Godslayer ?
I can find that out later using grindfest. What's with using a word instead of stats (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

A bit trolling before go to bed won't hurt...


Wonder if this patch would force mage to really use their brain to play HV ...?

It's their favorite claim, wasn't it? : melee are a stupid dumb motherf*cker who know nothing, and mage are intellectual nobleman who listen to classical music, executed every of their move with grace and elegance, or some shit like that... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)


Probably not, I guess... But who knows?

Not sure about the others, but I play as a mage exactly because I don't like to use my brain

clear your cache and reload HV, repeat until uncorrupted

done it ten times. does nothing to me, still with the long green bar. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

well, at a certain point HV would get so repetitive i would think you'd need to switch off, regardless of what style you play
