The update was great:

Thf adjustment was just right, I've been doing some content as mnk with a thf, and he is still closing darkness with a ~15K Rusdras and 20-30k+ Darkness - nothing to complain about there, thf is still an uber DD now that it was not before the original Rudra&other ws update.

RE Empherean armor - how can the stats not impress people? Really go have a good look at the 119's., My impression of the 109 armor, is that we are playing a 119 game now, so SE put in a nice simple way to upgrade empherean to 109 status, and the real challenge lays in making them 119. Vagary is an event to last, and imo, much like at 75 there was a gear progression line (Sky / Limbus / Dynamis > HNM? > Salvage for example) we also have it at 119 (Eminent 117 > Reforged AF/Relic 119 > Delve > Skirmish (which is actually very easy just costs a bomb for the good augments > Vagary - Reforged Emp 119).

Yes there has been some bugs, but bugs do get fixed, some have, and some will.

The update was very good imo.
