So how do AMs feel about this upcoming patch? To me it can be summed up with 3 lines
- Healing nerf
- DPS increase for high int (who has high int anyway?)
- General bug fixes
I was hoping to see some improvements to our (currently useless) high magic system - this patch has left me quite disappointed but not surprised really.
My subscription auto-renew is off, this patch doesnt contain anything to make me want to change that
