what?

Exactly what I said. Didn't have to change a single thing. Just had to test how existing skills worked and that was it.

Ps. Bio3 felt super easy with the new patch. Monsters weren't any easier but the shift in skills sure made killing things a lot easier.

I have a DB/IB build. Really weird, but it's worked out so far and I haven't noticed much of a difference in DB with the nerfs.
I might change it since I don't know how well it will actually turn out in later levels. But hey, free reset until January, I'm sure I'll get it to high enough levels to see if it works or not.

its not exactly .....free....


the first time u reset it costs = 0 reset stones
the second time u reset it costs = 1 reset stones
the third time u reset it costs = 2 reset stones
etc...

I'm also a Hybrid so the HP nerf wasn't all that big, my dmg changed from 17 to 15k... it's all good.
I'm currently using BB+IB+SB.

They need to show the damage when you use crushing strike. I thought it was bugged at first.

I changed my build from CS/DB/noideawheretoputtheotherskillpoints to DB/IB/HS. Never was a big fan of runes in the first place and now I have an excuse to not put more than 2 points in Rune Mastery Also got a new main char: Sura.

I'm currently a DB / CS / IB / SB (runes) build before reset, although I don't woe. Looks like HS is supposed to replace CS, but that would mean sacrificing one of DB, IB, or SB (runes). I might have to get rid of IB, even though I love it a lot for the neutral damage AOE, AND it got buffed after the patch too. Or I could sacrifice rune mastery, seeing as how I don't woe or really use runes normally. I do enjoy being able to defend myself at kvm though.

How about stats? My current build before reset is 80 str, 120 vit, 101 int, 80 dex. Maybe 120 int and 100 vit would maximize SB damage more, but I chose to go more of the tank route. Hundred spears should be STR dependent, so I will most likely go at least 80 str again when I reset.

Some people mentioned going back to the pure SVD build. That would probably mean going full IB and HS? I don't know if not having any int would be able to support the SP costs of those skills though. And no agi would mean meleeing isn't really an option.

That's true, but I haven't use it yet on my RK, so for me, it's still free. That's what I meant by free.

I didn't have to change a single thing.

My LK was renewal proof when renewal kicked in and I went RK. My RK continues to be balance patch proof.

It's about knowing your character well enough and being a hybrid of some sort pretty much means you're never going to get f*cked over when things change. Specialing in the CS/DB build might burn you.

yea They burned it big time... my build was Straight for db and Cs.. NOw turnins sucks.. Rks was main killers for like bios and thors.. and Db for Scarabs its nonsence.. They need to get rid of the patch and Help the classes that need to be help, not mess up the classes that was just fine

DB still works fine for Scarabs. Just requires 1 extra shot. Anything you used CS for can be replaced with HS. RK's are still primary killers in Biolabs. I was killing them faster on my RK now than I was able to before. CS was really broken before. The amount of damage HS did and CS did were backwards and is now fixed.

[VanishingPoint]

Just give up. After resetting like 10 times I finally decided to give up on my RK. No matter how hard I try or how much zenies I invested into my RK.. I'd still get one shotted by more classes then ever before the balance patch. Any good advice you want to give me?
