New patch/leagues tonight - Kurosu - 08-20-2014

Hi,

Just in case anyone still plays this on the lounge or has interest in it, there will be a new patch/expansion tonight, about 6 hours from now.

The full patch notes are here.

Some highlights are:

-guaranteed crafting: 1500 fusings for a 6 link, for example
-more base life per level (from 8 to 12), but life nodes are weakened
-new quests from new NPCs that all have specific crafting features too


This looks interesting enough so I'm going to give it another go.
I'll start with a dual wield Cleave Duelist using swords probably, because Cleave got a significant buff:

Quote:Cleave: This skill no longer has a damage effectiveness penalty. When dual wielding it now deals 65% of weapon damage.

I'm probably just going to rack up the majority of the good dual wield/sword nodes and go light on life, and see how far I can get, heh.
