Those are buffs if I've ever seen 'em.

SE is drunk AND I WISH THEY WERE DRUNK MORE OFTEN. (SwO still trash).

Also with these changes, calling highest DPS combo is going to be WAR mt Paladin OT

This is exactly the mindset that needs to be drowned like an unwanted kitten. With these buffs, no group will ever be forced to pick a DRK over a Pally or vice versa. That's parity, baby.

Your lack of humour disturbs me.
With the lb changes we'll be lucky if war/war isn't every groups progression. Like I keep saying, depends on the content.

Looks good. What does prelim mean? Like a sneak peek, Not the full updates yet for tank classes or?:P

It means there are no recipe/side quests, so people can't jump the gun on the market.

@fallen: They broke combos. because god hates tanks not named war.

Just a sneak peak we don't have all the information yet until the day of the patch.

Sauce?

Goring Blade total 640 Pot? WAO!

I don't remember defiance breaking combos though. Is it specifically just SwO? What about ShO?

ShO change seems neat. Now all the stances are unique!

Despite WARs not needing it I like how the others just got their TP cost reduced instead of being given a way to recover it e.g Equilibrium.
