Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out on live vs how it felt with my limited time over on lam.

Are there any changes done after preview 3 on Lam?

[WarDestroyer]

Thank you for the update. Won't there be any adjustments to PTWF?

[Mofus]

Thought I heard they were going to do this ( Have previous rewards available on hc server vendor.) at update 49, did not see it in release notes.

Your offhand can only doublestrike a maximum of 50% of the time.

why cap this?

Woah they snuck this one in on us... DS past 100% was going to have a purpose, now it's just nerfed ... again.

There wasn't really anything sneaky about it. It was part of the original announcement about the changes to doublestrike.

Nope. The original post said nothing about a 50% cap and it was clarified by a dev to be able to go above 50%:

Currently, the cap means that either offhand or mainhand cannot go beyond 100% in effectiveness. So yes, stacking doublestrike past the cap will boost offhand past 50%. Now, granted, this may change, but it's what's currently on Lamannia.

Granted, it was claimed that it could be changed but the first indication of that change is in the release notes. So, yeah, sneaky.

No. Not sneaky at all. They very clearly qualified their statement pointing out that it could change. If you consider clearly pointing out that something could change sneaky, I can only wonder how many Nigerian Princes you've helped move their money in the past.

We will agree to disagree. When they make a change after the final lammania release without announcing it, I am going to put that a lot closer to sneaky than "Not sneaky at all."

Unfortunate, but understandable from a balance perspective. I liked the mechanic of diminishing returns for offhand with DS boosts, but I guess Kensai builds didn't really need the double buff. Oh well, back to the trash heap for ninja spy.

Imagine if shadow double was simply changed to be offhand doublestrike that bypasses the cap

It could be renamed into "Doublestrike" at this point. Because it does exactly the same for every combat style.

Any chance for a feat respec token for the characters, that have both "Zen Archery" and "Ten Thousand Stars" feats? If the combination doesn't work anymore, it'd be nice to not pay to get some worth out of your feat-slot if you don't want to constantly swap to shurikens.

Also, please remember to change the tooltips of the feats. ^^

[HuneyMunster]

Is there any favor reward for hitting 75 favor? The Promise of Fire is 12, assuming An Element of Chaos, Seizing the Dawn and Beautiful Nightmares are 15 while Eye Know Whodunnit 18? That puts Morgrave University at 75.

[nobodynobody1426]

Fixed an issue that caused Momentum Swing to hit more times than it should. The skill's animation has changed.
Fixed an issue that caused Holy Retribution to hit more times than it should. The skill's animation has changed.

Looks like they are CAFing those abilities. I say this because similarly vague wording was used when they changed CAF's animation to be the most useless one in the game, where it spins around slowly and doesn't doubles strike.

Confront Any Foe now uses different animations.

Nevermind, after re-reading the release notes, I realize, that there is no mentioning of any of those two feats (other than in Preview 2 and 3). Does it actually mean, that Zen Archery still makes 10k* apply to bows!? Or is it an oversight?

[elvesunited]

i didn't see it in the release notes. Is Ten Thousand Stars still working with bows or not?
A lot of monkchers would like to know.
