Looks like someone was up late typing all this out.
It happens, carry on, keep up the awesomeness Bay.

I love everything this patch has to offer. It looks like a more balanced gameplay setting.

My one question however. As a Gladiator, looking at how stats work, it seems like I have four stats to focus on (VIT/STR/MND/DEX). Each give me a benefit to my class, I only wonder how I should properly gear myself. I guess testing the new mechanics will give me a better idea. Probably hold off putting points in my character till I get a better idea from others.

I forget if I posted how excited I am to see boar hide drop from more boars/hogs! Preferably the ones in Ever Lakes so that we can aaaall share. Rather than those two spots in Treespeak making up virtually all of the new boar hide in 1.19.

Yay for +success with secondary tools.

Aw man on the single yield for ore and matter.

Yay on the the bait/lure and fish combo +success and shorter wait. Shamelessly awaits Vespie's new fishing guide.

/happy is so happy!!! I can't wait to see a lalafell do it! /grovel looks like someone got hit in the nether regions. I imagine some combination of /grovel and /disappointed will be used to make candid shots.

Gladiator 14 ~ Flash?! Increases target's enmity. Ineffective during Mardi Gras and nudists.

I'm curious about the damage boosts for Pugilist on things like Blindside, where MND seems to play a factor?

Lowered requirement over all on cross class abilities with later abilities being exclusive. I like this. Don't have to cross-level up as much to take away the abilities. New players usually want to stick with one class and be able to perform well. When they have to switch to level up sub-jobs or other classes to perform on a decent level, it's a bit discouraging (regardless of the XP pace).

It's like playing MMORPG X, but to tank on my fighter, I need to make alts for champion, breaker, berzerker, and house master.

Anyhew, I like these patch notes! Think I forgot to express that earlier.
