All in all this patch was really good. Some stuff was bad. Pretty bad. (But you'll fix it!)
Throwers are useful again. They have a small fad and burst of them right now as everybody is trying them out.
Archers got a little too much of a buff from the reworkings and will have to be rebalanced probably. Keep the shoot speed change, It is really awesome though. Let's the archers do volleys from behind shield walls, cover, etc. It adds a little more skill and I like it
. Lower projectile speed means the gravity affects its damage more now and speed bonuses matter more. Archer tactical positioning is better thanks to it.
Lance Cavalry is awesome as ever now that people can't do as much stupid stuff but can still do good old lancing. 1h cav is doing well too. No good lancers have had any real criticism, although bad lancers are crying everywhere.
Melee is pretty much same old same old goodness. With reworked soak/reduce values it is a lot nicer.
1h&Shield is The same
Horse archery is really inaccurate while moving but sniper when standing still. Gives a new dynamic most are not willing to accept, whether intentional or not. Still very effective but fucked up.
Xbows are pretty much the same and good still.
But repairs are
ridiculous right now. Not sure that change was necessary in the first place either.
Miaodao I disagree with it's balance change. You took 1 speed away from it, when really it needs lower weight. It's weight is what made and still makes it OP. It stuns their weapons so you can swing again. Make it weigh 2 or 2.2 rather than 2.8, and give it back the speed. It will solve the spam issue.
*i suggest heirloom reset and free respec. Everybody loves those and makes people stop QQing and instead put a happy face on. We don't want to lose any more players
