  Please refer to what I said earlier. The balance stat is getting a rework, making all of that hard work useless D:
  
  If balance was still the same as that I wouldn't be so worried.

  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

  
  
  And when that happens it's going to become completely useless because we all know how great devcat is at balance issues. (pun intended)

  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

  
  
  I think the only reword was the cap of 50% from dex? I..think? Need to go back and read that..

  I'm worried I won't have enough dex for 50% balance with guns. Guess ima get r1 refine today.
  
  Edit: the dex to balance ratio was changed as states before

  They are not changing what balance actually does, they only thing they changed was the balance to dex ratio.
  
  But like they are not nerfing any of the other skill sets. The only thing they have done was if you want to be a Puppetier and Archer you can still wear heavy armor but your damage will be nerfed abit just like if human and elf Fighters.
  
  ALSO They added piercing damage I assume that this heavy armor draw back is a chance for them to balance out the extra damage that people are going to have if they choose to be tanky.
  
  So in fact they are actually buffing all the classes by introducing this new defense piercing protection rework. especially Hybrids that have stats all across the board.

The only thing they have done was if you want to be a Puppetier and Archer you can still wear heavy armor but your damage will be nerfed abit just like if human and elf fighters were to use heavy armor which is something I had to deal with when i made my switch from melee to fighter.

  I never learned to #dealwithit.
  
  As for balance rework, check...somewhere in the threads. One of the post by ca25da or whatever guy. He says that balance is getting a rework.

  So it's not the stats that's the issue in terms of hybrding but armour choices?
  
  Fine by me, I always did Light Armour due to the Fighter damage nerf with Heavy Armour. I'll just continue to use Light Armour like I always have been.
  
  I just don't want to get penalties cause I have 600hp, 750mp, 550stam, 530dex, 610str, 900int, 600will, and 120luck :/

  Lol. Yeah i just read the change part. To balance. Maybe now it will actually be more beneficial to have capped Balance.
  
  Anyways GG people who want to do a shit ton of damage and be the tankiest you can be at the same time.

  It's not that I want to be tanky. (I have mana shield gloves for that).
  
  It's that I want to be able to use that juicy thames set effect with my bow.

  Something else I don't understand, what happens to currently existing crystals if this does go through?
  
  Do they become limited items, or turn into the amount they're equal to?

  I'd assume one of two things:
  
  They become untradable limited items that you can still use, or they turn into the amount they're equal to. Via a method of redemption at eabha or something.

  From what I have on test they become useless rocks, testaments to times of yore and collector items for the original alchemists.
