And something new in this patch is that you can NOT wear Lilin’s Ring () and a Adventurer Ring (,,) at the same time. And you can only wear ONE Adventurer Ring.

Not much for Bowmen. . .which sucks since xbows get so much. A better strafe, wtf? Id like a % rate on my strafe for an instant kill. The burn effect on Inferno sounds interesting but theres lotsa things that could be better. Potting during hurricane, Inferno should be doing alot more damage than arrow bomb, Concentrate giving more wep. att, Dragons Breathe should work like Rush (works on bosses), and giving us back our Fast attacking speed T_T. I get how they're trying close the damage gap out but xbows in their own way are already good without all this. Bows = Damage, Xbows = Great Mobbers. They already got a bunch of time reductions on their 4th job skills, now more? And all i get is a powered up arrow bomb and a inferno with a burn effect from TWO balances? At the very least its better than what sins get

nothing for sin T_T

at least make avenger strongerr xDDD

Wing and Spaz will be having kittens ¬_¬

Heroes better get that Rush balance as well or I'm going to have a fit ¬_¬

oh i knew abou this patch a long time ago... i SOOO cant wait until i can break stuff at time temple xD

Many many kittens being had here.

BoT now does 250% on 6, 40% increase means increase of 240% total damage output... Himes is gonna get torn apart....

Venom now last for 8 seconds and activates 50% of the time... Basically max poison anything you Savage Blow O.o The time has been doubled so it in theory does double the amount of hits (monsters take poison damage hits when poisoned right, not just when they first get poisoned?)

Sulter will do 500% on 1 at max level O.o

BS maybe spammable now? They already reduced the cooldown previously, be interesting to see in any case.

I think the two most interesting points are that MG now only uses 61% mesos (significant savings) and Assassinate cooldown is down by 1/3 at max level... This leads to some interesting questions:

1) Are CDits cheaper to train now, to the point its sensible?
2) Does charging up Assassinate produce better DPM over spamming Assassinate + BS?!?

Kittens all over the place.

But on a serious Hero note, I've been levelling Rush cause its underrated imho. If Heroes don't get the Rush balance too I might very well cry

1. CDits are cheaper to train yeah, although unless you are using honsters or % pots CDits are cheaper than other classes anyway
2. I dobut it, time is reduced from 12s to 8s, but thats still pretty long
i'd go for Assassinate/BS spammage anyday

that delay cut on ds makes me want to get to bucc soo bad
