Can you test it? Just Trick the ship cannon while not wearing deception items besides eArtillary and see if you get sneak attacks. Turdbine might have screwed up a code copy paste.


Sorry, no can do at the moment, TR'd a few days ago into ranger.

(although I've recently dropped Dun Robar Tendon Slice and it's fine, despite worrying it wouldn't be)

You know why it's fine? It's because, as I've noticed over the past couple of days, I'm getting Tendon Slice anyway, despite having no gear I can see that applies it. Hmm.

I needed to do three smarty-pants elf lives on my old sorc toon, I choose Mech18/cleric1/ftr1 because of some gear, int bonuses, etc.... on a whim I made a RadII GxB, to use with the Divine art I had pulled.

Two Iconic lives later my take away was: HOLY SHIT.

I almost never put the RadII away, the piles and piles of SA damage all the time is amazing, I felt like I was using a cheat code at time. I hot-barred different types of bolts for DR but otherwise it's amazing the piles of SA.

In the epic level I went DC and just blinded shit left, right and center.

Once I fini my third Iconic I'm going to do a human life pure mech just so I can enjoy all that SA with a damage boost running.

The best thing about this (well, something very close) was the Great Crossbow alacrity, for me. This update was a punch in the nads. Always slowing the game down. :/

Oh? I haven't logged my mech since the update, but I wasn't expecting the 40% to 30% nerf to have that big of an effect since alacrity has such diminishing returns.

It definitely feels slower. Not tested yet but I'd hazard a guess it's gone lower than 30% in gaming conditions. Could be me and my speed addiction overplaying it though.

Yes. It does feel slower though. Will probably have to start switching to repeater to get stacks when I hit blitz.

Jup, I prefer dodge over PRR in LE. Reflex save schould be good  (90+) for evasion and Pin/Whistler are very important to me in LE. I try to keep my DPS at a maximum by not having aggro. And those DC 100 web traps are your best freind. I use great crossbows when fighting trash (knockdown) or dealing with non-pierceable DR (portals) and repeating crossbows when fighting rednamed/bosses.

The DPS is incredible, but the squish factor makes you want to hold back so as not to pull more aggro than you can handle. Remember to invest in diplomacy.

AA stuff working on crossbows would be my guess.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

the only time the majority of the AA enhancements were good were when they were broke in some fashion, like back in the day were you could stack all the various enhancements by swaping weapons in some fashion.

then they nerf it to work properly and its garbage, aside from adrenaline slayer, and even that has been nerfed to the point that deepwood is almost better in every regard.
