Patch 1.18a Notes

[Reika]

Patch notes before the patch goes live. Yes!

Also, DD buffs should help the Darkhold pigeonholing.

Setting home point is a much appreciated feature.

And finally, they're fixing the weird looking water on the ferry. /hurray!

What about gladiator? Still feeling pidgeonholed as a tank/paladin. I remember reading this:

"Gladiators specialize in the handling of all manner of one–handed blades, from daggers to longswords, be they single– or double–edged, straight or curved. A defining characteristic of the guild is its emphasis on diverse combat tactics, training its members to bring their martial skills to bear in any situation.
As such, there are practitioners who marry sword with shield, seeking to defend their fellow companions. Others opt for an empty off hand, choosing instead to focus entirely on their sword arm. The gladiator’s proficiency with blades also extends to those hurled at range, such as throwing knives."

What ever happened to the bold part ey? I think gladiator attack potencies should be increased when there is no shield equipped.

Also with the patch, things look great. Cept I think they should have increased the potency of brandish/II as well. Or brandish instead of storm's path since path is a tanking ability, that now only mrd can use.
