  I'm not sure what's happening but it looks like the test server included some things for giants.

  What catches my attention is the picture showing the giant with an axe in one hand and a sword in the other. If this isn't some error on the artist's part, then maybe we giants can finally dual wield bash like the humans, and my life has regained so much meaning again.

  Indeed you can dual wield bash. Here are the details.

  Please tell me those northern flawless hammers are at least "normal" speed.

  They are, yes you can double bash with them, that's what it's meant to do

  Seems even more unbalanced than it was before.
• ironwoman wrote on 2017-02-24 08:15
  To be fair, Wind Guard was kind of useless, much like how Final Hit was before its upgrade.
  
  We'll see where this puts Giants though, Elves still are considered the strong race in KR due to Vison of Ladeca.

  Sooo... dual blunts are a thing now and we can Bash and switch Advanced Heavy on AND run around at the same time. Is this the real life?

  Interesting.. at least Giants will be more useful than it is now and that's good though!
  
  I do wonder if elves will get some form of renewal to help with few skills and weapons or not... if they do end up getting Renewal.

  Long-eared hydra-hide cheaters don't need renewal.

  The answer is Vision of Ladeca. 400% aim buff that lasts for like 20 minutes (or more depending on your total level) that lets you do basically more than twice the dps of any form of combat in Mabi currently is what KR elves have atm, so I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

  Oh right, and doesn't they get more dex than humans and giants does that bypasses the 1.5k cap stat from one of the skills too?
• ironwoman wrote on 2017-02-27 03:18
  Yes, they do
