Dunno if it was an eilier update but in the skill descriptions when you hover over them the (attrib:Shadow Arts) part is greyed out and yay for spirit spike nerf ^.^--Blade (talk|contribs) 19:03, 7 March 2007 (CST)

BoA
Well there goes BoA spikes Haha!!--Stevo101
 * Ten less damage max isn't much of a difference. If you don't run a superior dagger, it won't even lower your damage.  --Fyren 19:20, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Just tested...still as lethal as ever.--Chronicinability 19:38, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Hexbreaker= Dead BoA nowStevo101 19:43, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * It always did :p--Blade [[Image:smallscout.png]] (talk|contribs) 19:45, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Hardly a nerf, it means nothing since you're using BLotus Strike anyways to regain energy, which would provide more than enough for your combo. Furthermore, you'll wait 20sec until the next spike, so 5 more energy is not a big deal. But really other sin elites could use a buff. --8765 20:06, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * It's a nerf to Shadow Axes, more. Shido 21:31, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Game Updates
I've noticed that at the end of skill descriptions when you hover your mouse over them it shows the attribute they're linked too. It didn't display like this before did it?

Nope Just addition, already pointed out Stevo101 19:23, 7 March 2007 (CST)

I didn't see the talk for this update, sorry about that. Also forgot to sign last comment. Pjstaab 19:59, 7 March 2007 (CST)


 * I think it was always there, iirc, but now it has a different color than the skill description. Possible? DeepSearch 03:35, 8 March 2007 (CST)


 * Yes now it is much more dark than before. Before the it had the same colour as the other text. I think it is a good update, because now you can see faster which attribute is linked to the skill. PhoenixJH 05:13, 8 March 2007 (CST)

Wastrel's Demise?
What was wrong with Wastrel's Demise? It didn't seem like it was being abused (unless there was some new spike team floating around, haven't been on Observer lately), and now it makes absolutely no sense. How can you aim to hit an opponent who isn't casting if you have a long-casting spell? This wasn't even a major update, so there MUST have been something objectionable about it, but it seems like a total overreaction to whatever it was... any insights, anyone? Zaq 20:06, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * yep i just took Wastrel's out of my mes build. I wasnt using it very often but it was a nice little skill to finish people off with. Now it seems altogether pointless, since you have to start casting and hope that they dont start casting before you finish. --Chronicinability 20:08, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Demise was easy armor-ignoring, followup dmg. I think increasing the cd rather than the cast time would be a more appropiate nerf. Besides, fast cast reduces to almost 1/2 anyways. --8765 20:29, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * It was a 77~ damage followup spell with less than a second cast. It was far too strong. &mdash; Skuld 02:52, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * It still has those stats --  n 00kie  (Ping) 07:42, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * Ok, near-instant cast ;p &mdash; Skuld 02:41, 9 March 2007 (CST)

Logout menu
I fail at wikis. In this update (or earlier), an option was added to press C to logout to the character screen. I think this should be added to an update (maybe this one).
 * Um, C is one of the targeting keys. --Rainith 21:28, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Oh, you mean from the logout menu. Yes that was added in a previous update and it is documented there.  --Rainith 21:29, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Not working... C chooses a target, well as usual actually. And F12 followed by C does nothing at all. --Birchwooda Treehug 18:47, 9 March 2007 (CST)
 * It works for me. &mdash; [[Image:Fin_sig.gif|User:Kyrasantae]] kyrasantae   19:15, 9 March 2007 (CST)
 * I like this update. A lot. Can you tell I swap characters often? Kessel 22:12, 9 March 2007 (CST)
 * I noticed now why it doesn't work for me. Only works for the english interface, not other languages. I use german as German ;) --Birchwooda Treehug 14:19, 10 March 2007 (CST)

Nerfed Ettin Farming?
The day Before this patch i did an ettin run 5 times getting me 11 runes. Now today after the patch i did 6 runs and got no runes. I think they might have majorly nerfed it or gotten rid of the rune drops alltogether. Anyone else notice this? Guild44 06:37, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * This is called luck. See Drop rate [[Image:Poke.gif]] Poke 12:42, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * You can always assume every update nerfed something. Whether specifically your ettin farming got nerfed or not, that is called luck. Bad luck to be exact. --8765 16:52, 8 March 2007 (CST)

Hero Battle change?
Did they change it so you can fight hero battles in a row with this update or an earlier one? Not quite sure, but I was shocked it loaded me into another battle after I won one. I remember it didn't do that before. Masterage 13:39, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * Yes. -- 203.87.40.17 06:04, 9 March 2007 (CST)
