What are all of you folks thinking about the new patch so far?

Personally, I’ve only done games against friends today, but I’ve loved the changes. Damage being overall lower is nice, even if people have more ways to do it now with the WA and their own changes. Scaling being increased almost across the board is huge, because it feels a lot less bad to make a single mistake.

For Testament (my main) specifically, I love what I got. Arbiter launching higher has been nice and opens up some new opportunities for combos, and Wild Assault even goes as far as letting me do a wall-to-wall now. My damage did get hit a little, but it doesn’t feel nearly as heavily lowered as some, like Ram.

Obviously it’s the first day and there’s some honeymoon-period excitement, but I’m excited so far. How are all of you feeling about it?

    Apart from there being two other variants of Wild Assault, it also denies your opponent burst for the rest of the combo. For my main, Goldlewis, it also solves his problems with getting zoned out.

      True, depending on your character you might get some utility. But since I play Sol in Strive Wild assault feels like you got the Burst drain from Xrd Blitz Shield and put it on a streamlined RC.
