Because you wouldn't have complained if they delayed the patch, right?

Sorry but it cant be any more generic than it was before.

I also expect with the huge increase in all mage spell costs, that they will end up going passive and waiting for mp a lot, Unless they increase the mp pool, the fact that everything now costs way more, suggests that mages will be 0mp a lot. This will slow down parties a great deal, as you will probably have to wait for mp often for your healers. i mean, curaga cost 100+ mana?

they say they want to make soloing an option, but damn homey, with those costs, and half effeciency, solo self cures are completely done.

Playing a "healer" was incredible easy , i welcome some degree of dificulty and think before you do type of gameplay.Spaming cure/sacri is dumb gameplay mechanics.

Battle is looking really bad right now. I mean maybe it all comes together like magic, but battle seems like it will after this patch become, less effecient, less entertaining, and slower in multiple ways.

Thats how i felt about battle before,so perhaps is different opinions . Guess we have to wait and see.But a big overhaul was much , much needed.If it was in the right direction i personally wont know for sure until i play again

10chareeeeeeee

I like how people are complaining about the recast times. News flash, you should not only be using skills from your disciple, but from others as well. This isn't WoW where you spam 2-3 of your 'best' skills. If you don't have a full bar of skills and at least 2 macro bars of skills at your disposal, you are playing this wrong.

You're probably right. After thinking about it it seems that I probably won't need to taunt more than once a minute with the new enmity adjustments. We'll see how it turns out, I may be pleasantly surprised.

light thrust->evade->simian thrash->flurry->taunt->light thrust, etc should be pretty good, especially since they increased potency of simian thrash.

I also wonder if taunt and taunt II will be separate, notice the different timers now.

Yeah, what's up with that new NPC? They didn't really say anything about him aside from the fact that he now exists.... I may have to head over there and check it out first thing lol.
