with the gale nerf and the war buffs I doubt i will have a non-warrior skill on my bar. Also thrill of victry is looking pretty good

Great update a-net stuff like this keeps the game interesting and encourages me to purchase factions.

The dreadnaught chest was my main income...

Wow if you are serious - you should have gave up GW weeks, if not months ago.

OMFG you owe me a keyboard, i just spit Mt. Dew all over mine

no seriously that was hella funny.

The nerf to veil and mend ailment were what disapointed me most. It makes it a strong argument to not even bring them at times. lucky the new 20/20 prot staff helps with this some for mend. Crip shot was way to easy to spread multiple conditions and needed that. OoB is a hit for my monk, but still by far the best single energy management for monks, even after this update. just have a feeling youll start seeing a 3monk backline maybe with the heal party adjust.

Looks like they tried to buff Signet counters (Rust/Ignorance) instead of nerfing Resurrection Signet... which basically means absolutely nothing except possibly in 4v4; Rust now has a duration/recharge ratio that makes it possible to hit everyone on the other team before people start dropping.

Mark of Rodgort was a nice buff if you can find the energy for it - have to try running Warriors with fiery weapons and spamming it and see what happens.

The Lightning Javelin buff was an attempt to make it spammable at incoming warriors to screw with their attacks. Of course, you can't actually hit them because Warriors chasing a fleeing target move eratically and a projectile will miss as often as it hits. So just keep using Blinding Flash.

Fire elementalists in general got a little better but not enough. Air still sucks except for utility, Water has hope without the hex helm but needed some duration/recharge buffs it didn't get, and Earth didn't need all that much anyway. (although making Eruption not suck would've been nice)

IWAY does still work with pets. The test I did involved walking out the door with only my pet, letting it die, activating IWAY, and watching my health bar gain a few pips. Good enough for me.

Yichi · Mar 03, 2006, 04:59 PM // 16:59

hint for iway. did some testing, and well, try it on another party members pet

LoL...I sure hope you're joking (but I'm afraid you're not). People actual "farmed" that chest for hopes of making a steady income? I thought it was mearly for chance at a rare drop, like a Crystaline...?

And don't tell me that chest was the only reason you played this game...

zsoltcc · Mar 03, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Are Bloodstained boots an undocumented change? I think Gaile mentioned something before the update about them being fixed.

The dreads chest was the only one i've seen drop a dwarven axe. Did anyone see a dwarven drop of a monster?

Skill changes ae always welcomed here. Makes the game interesting , change is good

Yanman.be · Mar 03, 2006, 05:13 PM // 17:13

harvest moon is definetaly ( sp? ) one of the most addictive games out there...

ooho i like fevered dreams now...or i might get my old r/me condition spreader from the dust...with some update offcourse

Symbol · Mar 03, 2006, 06:07 PM // 18:07

I'm a little disappointed in the elementalist skill buffs. The javelin recharge buff was potentially nice, but you'll never have the energy to spam it without twin attunements. Energy costs really needed to come down, and that didn't happen.

On the plus side my gimmick PBAoE fire bomber got even more (potentially) vicious as all three of his attack skills got buffed (MoR, Flame Burst, Lava font).

Dzan · Mar 03, 2006, 06:17 PM // 18:17

They didn't nerf Hamstorm, in fact, they buffed it. Thanks a lot A-net.

EnvyHax · Mar 03, 2006, 06:19 PM // 18:19

Since I only play a monk, this really hasn't effected me at all. I usually (always) only play a spiker, and the ONLY skill they changed that I use is Mend Ailment. I can just swtich in Mend Condition instead though, which still only has a 2 sec recharge time.

LOL I immediately pictured a storm of hamsters like the Firestorm spell, and then I thought of good old hampsterdance.

thelessa · Mar 03, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

lol, that might be more effective!

koneko · Mar 03, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

Does anyone know what exactly the GW client keeps downloading?

I have the game sitting at the opening login screen and it's already downloaded over 100MB worth of stuff (as shown in the top-right corner).
