Never letting us down guys, I will try it right away!

@Adrian, if I update to beta on one device, will it upgrade my saves so I'll be forced to update on all devices? I mean will I be able to keep playing with stable version on other device or not?

I'm not a fan of beta testing, so looking forward to the final (gold) release!

[heyjude1971]

Excellent! Thank you for listening to the players.

Edit: Lovin' my new warrior Life & Armor. Gonna go try them out!

That's a long list. Looking forward to some warrior/bh time to experiment with the new abilities.

Thank you for the additional casts during WW.

Wow this looks sweet, two quick questions, what does "Frozen Trap damage no longer scale with the hero attack speed." mean, and what does "Fixed a bug in which Battle Rage would offer more attack speed than intended." mean? (Does the first one mean the combination of frozen trap stealth and rapid fire no longer works, and does the second one mean battle rage no longer stacks?)

This is one those big balance updates....and it's finally happening. This makes us one step nearer to multiplayer.

[Vouis]

First impresions are that my dps and recovery on warrior has decreased. Armor and vitality boost is not much. I got oneshoted by gorlac in trial 205 which was propably gonna happen anyway. Bosses takes longer to kill even with the buff on frenzy. My cooldowns also increased with the decreased attack speed.

Shockwave buff is good. Its more usefull now i believe, but the knockback makes you chace the enemies and you loose tempo (increased cooldowns from stop attacking) a stun intead of knockback might be better.

Havent tested wirlwind yet.

In general my warrior feels weaker now in trials. I will try changing my build but i dont have the luxury of much gear choices. A shield build might benefit from the new shockwave more. Bigger pulls is required to cover the dps loss.

[heyjude1971]

I agree with Vouis. I had been running legendary CoW repeatedly before the update. After the update (no other changes), mobs take a little longer for my warrior to kill and bosses take proportionately more time to kill. It seems to be due to the reduction in attack speed from Battle Rage. Possibly this is intentional - I'm just noting it.

Shockwave does seem to be much more effective. It seems to give the warrior a little bit of useful magic. I too would prefer a stun effect rather than knocking back. On a similar note, Bash seems more usable now without the knock-back.

[jdonozo75]

I'm with Vouis in terms of attack speed in the beta version. I guess we who played warriors on a daily basis got spoiled by the fast attack speed bonus of battle rage.

At 4.85 attack speed w/ battle rage

1.2.38

1.2.40

If you could please tweak a tiny bit maybe add an additional .30-.50 attack speed bonus for battle rage. Added 4-5 secs for a single CoW run. Whirlwind damage feels the same.

Standing from a Powerlevel freak point of view. I could feel the impact of the nerf in the beta version.

[hades0505]

I now run cow using shockwave, it is even faster than what it was before while using WW.

[Vouis]

Ηades have you tried trials yet? If you do i would very much apreciate the feedback.

I'm playing on windows 10, is the test version available there? Can't find it.
