Alright, I respeced and am already doing better. Regained one of the four levels I lost in a few rounds (chroically on the underdog team) so I think I'll be able to catch back up this weekend. I now have 122 Single Hand prof, instead of splitting up my points between that and throwing.
Also, when I first started playing I didn't see any kind of upkeep taken from me. Is there some kind of "wait" period before that all kicks in? I know it's random, but I saw it every round last night and figured either it doesn't kick in until a few days in OR I've just been getting lucky. It's a clever mechanic; once I saw how much my Espada Slavadona (spelling?) ran me to fix, I decided I was sticking with the mace.
Thanks agian!
