Cyberbeast10 -> My thoughts on this update (4/8/2011 18:05:57)

I'll start off by saying that the level cap increase is good, as it gives old players reason to continue playing.
Secondly, power hours, I too find these a very nice idea, especially for those who cannot spend all their time playing Epicduel, as now they can log in on those hours and gain more rewards in less time.
Also, now you can equip weapons 5 levels earlier, the only disadvantage being the weapon is weaker when used.
Now lets talk about the negative things of this update, more specifically, about focus and balancing:
The first thing they did is remove the bonus from Focus, so now focus only affects bots. This is VERY bad, and I'm a bot user. Tanks can reign supreme now since, the minimum damage you can deal is 3 and you can no longer boost it to 8 with focus. This is even worse if you don't own a bot (Hence, all non-variums that can't win one on arcade), as this makes focus completely useless; and even if you have a bot, investing 45 stat points for focus 5 isn't even worth it unless your build is completely reliant on your bot.
Secondly, and even worse, its IMPOSSIBLE to abuse ANY stat. Not only do we have stat requirements on our skills, but now trying to improve any skill becomes progressively useless the more you abuse it. Strength mercs and support mercs needed a nerf (or as some people think, the other classes needed a buff), but not only did they nerf us, they nerfed every class.
Because of agility, no class can abuse HP, and because of recent changes, its crazy to abuse any other stat except energy as the consequences outweigh the benefits. Added to the fact that focus became useless for all except bot users, everyone is being forced to the exact same build.
What are your thoughts on this update?
