  Any info on what some of the new repair costs are
  for something like, say... a melka armor? shouldnt be too hard to get one and test

  What's this about changing armor repair costs?

  i really love this update
  even when im hybrid, and this update focus on specialization
  i think it's fair to have to pick one to make the other weaker
  and my char wins here whatever i pick (but range, meh, still my elf wins there so...)
  all my chars are happy

  Which is true, you asked who had the most, i gave you the answer.

  
  
  Smart-arse high level players.
  
  In other news, i've thought of some interesting things to do with alchemy now.

  My stamina boosts will love bunshin and alchemy.
  
  
  Also i think due to the way def and prot is calculated (prot especially)
  Mana shield got a nerf in that regard.
  Or mana shield is now based on magic prot or defense, and no longer MA.
  Either way, nexon would be stupid to buff mana shield. If they nerfed it, it gives them an excuse to uncap it finally, yay stats.

  
  
  Wouldn't mana shield be exactly the same though? Every 20 int will still add 1 magic defense, which even now adds 1 magic attack and magic defense.
  
  Even a small defense boost right now only shaves off a bit of damage compared to the current int-magic shield reduction.

  ... How was the logical right answer being a smart ass, i spoke the truth and was not a smartass about the answer.
  Specify, current ducat count, total ducat amount over lifetime, legit ducat count. SPECIFY.

  I meant in the case of magic prot, makea more sense with the "efficiency"

  Magic attack affects Mana shield efficiancy, so it gets a buff.

  I wanted to tell you that the balance revamp isnt as bad as you are thinking its going to be. Someone made a chart about it in a thread and did alot of research.
  Apperently you are more likely to hit your max damage with lower balance than you are when you capped it at 80 on average if a player gets i think it was at least 60 balance then there damage should seem alot more stable :/ Excuse me a second while I look up that balance chart / explanation thread for you.

  So wait, hold the phone back to hybrids? What if you're someone like me who is 7k+ who has invested in all the skill tabs? What kind of ramifications is that going to have?
  
  Also keeping with low balance is practically impossible for the high tier player who is over 5k+ in total.
  
  Are veterans now getting royally fucked over with this update?

  Like i said, mana shield was already overbuffed before, having this overbuff it again is going to instigate a nerf some point in the future

  That was the first thing that I thought of.
  
  However, if you read the thread in detail you'll see that the balance stat is getting a rework, which makes all of that sadly invalid.
  
  Overshadowing that is ALCHEMYYYYYYYYYYYY

  MS is overpowered to begin with even without reforge lel, unless homesteads suddenly are unable to grow mana herbs.
