Full Release Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread) (Part 2)

power + accuracy glass cannons are going to be crazy

This better mean that we get a free stat reset because this changes the entire game.
What do you guys think will be the new savant imbue?

Nooooo, its really just a revamp for awakening selection (and savant).

Now you don’t have to be SUPER careful about what build you have going to poseidon, risking getting stuck in a build you don’t want. Instead, you just pick something relevant to your stats and wham bam, you’re set in your class.

Which is a huge change to class builds, no? The Mistral update gave us a free stat reset because it changed vitality hybrids’ awakening, meanwhile, this technically changes it for all hybrids.
Why am I have a déja-vu?

wait this is a huge change tho cus hybrids can pick other awakenings now

This feels like something that will lead to some regarded builds later down the line

Basically making all hybrids into better savants.
Why? Because that means that you can stack synergies like a savant with two magics/fighting styles, weapons/relics, and deal more damage due to having higher stats.
This is without mentioning the changes to weapon skills now having weapon quality requirements, making savants officially dead unless their new awakening is cracked

trello did a pretty bad job at explaining it but thankfully vetex cleared it up in patreon chat, it just gives you a last second chance to change your build before awakening if you have enough stats invested into it

for example, paladins will be able to choose to switch to oracle or mage for their awakening, or stay as a paladin

That explains a lot of things then, but I’d argue that it’s counter-intuitive to players.
If I specced into the warlock class, got through calvus with it, then found out that I could use another’s awakening for no cost… I’d be surprised to see that my stats have now been changed.

yea i hope its explained well ingame

Ah, for a second I thought this was going to be some stupid shit like a ‘berserker’ (with juggernaut allocation) having access to two style slots along with spirit moves

What if lapis becomes a speed agate and varisite a intensity-size hybrid gem

speed agate would legit go pretty hard

It would lowkey

Also did we consider the possibility of these being the first artisan weapons we come across ? They’re not steel weapons as we saw what these would look like and so clearly they’re not that, so it’s almost guaranteed to be the skyhall set of weapons, and if it is, I feel like that’s as good a time as ever to start introducing this concept

???

They are the next tier of weapons, silver, lvl 100, right?

They were literally called that.

Silver or Delxure, correct. Plus a new variation to great-swords akin to dual bladed (dual katanas)

no, the next level is steel, you can see some steel weapons in the second image of the tweet
