Either way, Dupre already made it clear that returning is impossible, and to be honest, I'm glad, it means I have to re-learn all my common builds from scratch again, and after all the testing and shit I've done on Ladoea it would be horrible to have to re-do everything again lol.
After doing a bit more testing on my whole theory of "agiwhore OP!!11!1" I discovered that unless you're playing a spammy katana build or a staff/quarterstaff build it's not really going to go anywhere, and I can see the blatant weakness in light armour too. Looks like the way to go with all the my old friendchers is just to build 27/17 or 27/15 and then wear light/med armour, that seems to give you a decent enough boost in STR and speed.
