- Melee/Range type characters defense has been increased against Gun type characters.

and this is only a tiny part of it. im sure not everyone liked this new tweak. for some reason, i kinda felt musicians became weaker and damage dealing(normal attacks) heroes and mercs are an in-thing now. some of the lineups became weaker, others stronger...the thing is, now is the time to get creative. To be honest, my lineup now became crappy with the new updates(maybe i haven't found my groove yet, but hey) but i think its a good thing for the free league because we will see a different style. ive been in a lot of free leagues when the new patch came out and i've seen some crazy builds, which is healthy. somehow i see the fun part again in free leagues (try out new styles, mercs, builds, etc.) i dunno if its just me, im curious of what other PvP-ers think. post anything regarding this new patch ^_^

Definitely noticed the change in physical damage, which is nice, being an axe main (other than freezing, my skills suck, so physical damage is important to me).

Still, no big change, went 4-3 tonight, which is about what I normally do.

 

I take it back, one big change I noticed, was you got experience for the first two fights, 1% to your next level, like you do for the first 3 quests per day.  That was unexpected, but nice, got my Shaman to 96.

lol!i i'm an axe main too...i think a lot of players are still trying to feel the game. i played how i usually played and my win-loss record became erratic. one time i was 1-7, or 0-8, then 8-0, then 6-2...weird.
