How will the new smelt skills work is it on mine or smelting in furnaces?

 

[Fjordsen]

Is the keybinds patch live?

 

[NamelessFreak]

PvP arenas are great. I think they are a lot better than Mob arenas. Which players can abuse.

 

[Kainzo]

Is the keybinds patch live?

Yep

 

[Jasquan]

QuantomLeap is annoying in skirmishes lol... Today I got quantomleaped into both lava and the void by Pampita

 

[STDs4YouAnd4Me]

Which class receives BatFury?

 

[Gluzz]

nooooooo right when I change to runeblade it gets nerfed.

EDIT: now buffed back slightly

 

[Kainzo]

Which class receives BatFury?

Undecided - necro probably, its not ready for use yet.

 

[Jasquan]

Perhaps a Ranger could find use for BatFury?

 

[Kainzo]

Added Skill Bloodlust (Samurai) - reduces current health by 50% but greatly increases power.

 

[Fjordsen]

Added Skill Bloodlust (Samurai) - reduces health by 50% but greatly increases power.

I am all in for new skills for Samurais, but 50% less HP is around 480HP in total... I wonder what the buff is.

 

[MultiHeartGold]

Added Skill Bloodlust (Samurai) - reduces current health by 50% but greatly increases power.

So if a Samurai is down to 500 hp and uses it, the hp drops to 250?

 

[Fjordsen]

Yep.

Still working out kinks - we definitely need play testing on the test server of Bloodlust.

EURO connections should now use eu.hc.to as the server IP to reduce connection lag.

Me and Kenn decided Bushido or Art of Bushido would fit for a name much better than Bloodlust. Its still your call, but a samurai is generally a honorable man who wishes to die in battle against someone better than him. Bloodlust/Berserk just don't fit, what could possibly trigger those D:? Either way, that's why you got us

'Runeblade: Firewave cooldown increased to 20s'. 'Slightly reduce Pyromancer Axe damage.'
