Thread: Patch 2.45 December 9th

I was really hoping to see the skill/spell speed changes sooner to finally not make them waste stats for DRG and SMN.
Stoneskin II should just be an out-of-combat effect on Stoneskin (regular) itself, as not to take up an extra x-class slot for SCH.
I still don't know why Ninja needs to be nerfed; they're not lead dps as is, and having Monk TP costs fits having Monk speed.
- At most, affect Aeolean Edge (320->310), Spinning Edge (200-->190) Trick attack (400->340-380), the latter partly to give Sneak Attack at least some use over TA in PvP and soloing. Reduce Raiton damage according to range (full at up to 5 yalms, 2/3s at max range; increase Fuma range slightly. Increase Mug heal and Shukuchi speed and reduce its animation lock. Allow Sprint, Goad, and Invigorate during Stealth. Increase stealth base speed very slightly.

Stoneskin II, SWEEEEETTTT!

Finally i can remove my stoneskin macro and save more time ^^. But the best change for me is that new relic weapon cause SMN poetic weapon is horrible. Already have 552 accuracy my smn and have no idea how 2 reduce it wisely anymore before getting more items from the coil.

Been waiting for this since you removed it from 1.0 amongst other things. :P

Its about bloody time.

Might as well complain SMN does more damage than most melee.

I see what you did there.

With the change of positionals for DRG and the buff to their damage, I hope the boosts come in the form of hitting the positionals from the optimal location as well as their DoTs as to encourage playing correctly.

That's the definition of quality of life.

Please stop.

As previously mentioned, they have more.

Are you implying that SMN egis does not do anything?

Similarly, Conjurer also originally had an ability that "Allows caster to hum next cast to cast while moving at reduced power." The AoE ability got removed during Alpha or Beta in 1.0 though, and replaced by the command /aoe which toggled all conjurer spells between single and circle aoe and all THM spells between single and front cone.
