I liked the balance of EDP..
Thanks for Info Rytech (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[stillfree]

Didn't like EDP nerf... it will get way too weak now I think. Its 50% less dmg.

If it were 25% less, the dmg would change considerably, and with woe nerf the damage would be good.

Now hitting 50% less (if I understood right) plus woe nerf the damage will be ridiculously stupidly low.
Only EDP+Linked will hit EDP dmg (3200%).
In any way, grimtooth is still good.

I don't like they added an extra part of the hotkey cycle; I cycle hotkeys like nuts and I don't need another one to go through. Who the hell wants to hide their hotkeys anyway?

and holy shit they nerfed EDP finally

[roverNemeZiS]

Fixed EDP?
Very-very nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ani_rice.gif)

[KarmaKub]

well edp is still strong with normal attacking

[Brainstorm]

Such a stupid way to nerf the EDP bonus, they allowed regular attacks to keep stronger and cut the skill damage by half and doubled the mana cost....Hello? Ever heard of something called "in between"?
And they didnt fix everything, grimtooth can still be used with EDP for 8k hits.

[Aerveoriel]

Lovely fix for EDP. Now the mentioned skills gain *1.5 modifier from EDP and Ctrl+Click/Other skills *3. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Funnily, it doesn't cycle anything - in fact, all F12 does now is expand the shortcut thing by one line. Same thing as doing it with a mouse. Well, maybe it may be useful...

Also, this screenshot (in Doddler's post):

It seems you can get extra tabs now, and make it show things like the damage dealt and the experience gained.
Awesome.
