what kitchen tool can slice bread and warm a pizza

A gun

a pair of scisscors

it’s too early to tell but my money’s on paladin
it sounds like conjurer but if conjurer could also imbue their weapons back onto their magic

Paladin is getting new spells (less if you go spirit based) and 4 spirit weapons PLUS the kit of Eagle Patrimony (less if you go magic based).

Not sure what to say for the others; weapon builds get a bigger variety (but no new cool toys), strength gets a few more techniques, Savant has some special stuff but probably not as advanced as pure builds

Also, given that vitality is turning into spirit, what the heck would imbuing spirit energy do now?

idk whatever spirit energy does

its like saying u made ur wood magic more healthy by imbueing vitality into it

yea, vitality used to reduce damage and imbuing spirit energy removed that reduction. Now what, because that reduction is gone

A knife u warm over a fire till it glows red

What imbuing does for every other class that has it, stat boosts.

This greatly depends on what the level cap ends up being, but assuming it’ll be a nice 175:
For PvE, Savant, Warlord, and Mage will likely be the top three, taking recent changes into account.
For PvP, Savant (again), Conjurer, and Paladin will likely end up being the big three.

what’s “pve meta” in ao, pve is so fucking brain dead you can kill a level 260 criminal mage with 2 awakenings as a level 90 savant

never ask the pvp berserker build about his PVE career

the faster you can kill said level 260 criminal mage with 2 awakenings the better

If we get arcanium weapons then obviously savant because the stacked imbuements on the arcanium weapons (fighting style, magic, spirit, and weapon casting) and spirit weapons (fighting style and magic)

heres the problem, savant wont be able to imbue stack till second awakening, and arcanium weapons will prob need them to slack on either strength or spirit

magic energy thats imbued with spirit energy thats imbued with a fighting style all imbued into a weapon :fearful:

a savant with patrimony-imbued-earth-imbued-ileg-imbued-tempered axe throw on their way to recreate the fracture:

localized entirely within their enemies ribcage
