And it makes actually epic shields worth something (i'm selling 2 lvl 78 btw :P)

that is truee, BUT unfortunately, the priests will be having a hard time of getting all those useful skills leveled up though... =/

Sorry if you may not like double posts, BUT I'm looking forward of this patch. ^^

Thanks Jeff~

Anything worth having is worth earning.Just because it will take time doesn't mean it won't be worth it

One of the skills still remind me of a pen is

I'd like to give big props to Jeff and the rest of the Nodiatis team. This extensive skill patch should help to balance out the weaker weapon and spell choices, with work by the players. I especially like the variety and cleverness of some of the new skills, such as the "under 20%" skills which help improve viability.

I do have a question, though.
Blinding Arrow: While the interface is hidden, can they still interact with it if they know where things are? Or are they hidden and untouchable, forcing them to only be able to auto-attack/auto-cast for the duration?

They can still interact with the interface though clicking blindly may not be advisable. When we finally get around to implementing the patch that lets you bind gem actions to keys it will be more feasible to cast blindly without accidentally making a mess of your interface with random clicks.

IMO Assembly/Sweatshop kinda useless. Simpler continue using crafting suit then waste precious crafting xp for such skills. Would like to see some skill helps fully enchant these 84 2h piercers with 24 native stats.

Also on the grinder update,does that mean players will be able to
spin/enchant/craft,with acceleration on,for maximum exp,however,lose not
a single second of rested time if they have grinder?

Yeah, I'm wondering about that too. Accel exp with no usage of rrt would rock for crafting.

didnt Dest have negative 4 bars of Rep how does he have 3 now?

and i love the slash pierce and crush acc boost thanks soooo much now melee can finally hit mobs more

Can't wait.

i would like to note i am not whining about Dest's bar just curious


it appears idiociay is contagious

[Sapreaver]

Leave your name if you derep me just don't put "fker"

[brow]

[Sapreaver]

[Hopilus]

Is this limited to anything? Like per paypal account, per 'owner' or is it just per char? Consider a player with 6 accounts buying 6 sb TC's a week. He will trade each char 1 SB tc. Does that mean he can un-sb all 6 tc's (each one per char) and trade them back to the same account as a stack of 6?

It's per char. Just tested.

Doeas double bond increases Delay?

No, read the description. It affects the STAT BONUSES of 2H weapons. Both those that come standard on the items and those added with enchant stones (the positive stat(s) not the negative stat(s)).
