IMO fantastic news. PK side dodge attack is getting nerfed along with her zone attack, and they mentioned something about being able to see her attacks earlier.

Warlord headbutt spam costs more stamina and can be dodged easier. Full block stance got nerfed. Im main warlord and i am so glad his headbutt is nerfed, nothing more annoying than playing a headbutt spamming warlord, now they can nerf the conq, warden Valkyrie and lawbringer same... they are all equally as frustrating.

The lawbringer actually got buffed in A LOT of categories. I really hope his flip is getting nerfed that is probably most annoying out of all.

Kensei, zerker and one other are getting buffs

If i forgot to add anything please add. They are saving topics like faction war for later

I main LB and this is music to my ears, however what would they nerf about the LB's shove? It's slow and has no guaranteed damage, only this it has going for it is hyper armor. I believe the warlord head butt was nerfed because it's fast and had guaranteed damage.

Now that i think about it im a little disappointed they didn't make changes (ie. more stamina cost maybe) to all the other unblockable spams; warden, valk, conq, law bringer.

I meant the lawbringers flip over it can basically be done over and over

In group fights it can be a problem with slower characters, however in a 1v1 it is too slow to be viable, and if dodged grants a free GB. Maybe a 100 MS extra delay until you can do another one would balance it out

They also mentioned the nobushi hidden stance having a wider angle that will activate it as it was narrower than the allblock stance moves and that assassins as of the patch will not be able to prevent falling over when guardbroken out of stamina.

Thank the baby jesus, this is a good time.

The LB buff was good and maybe too good - but we'll see.

They did mention parry and that it was too strong, which is good.

Other than that it was just number fiddling and they need core changes to save this game - to actually make "the art of battle" the primary component of combat.

They are halfing revenge boosts in the next patch, further down the road they are looking at speed that it is gained and he said maybe looking at revenge 1v1.

Some nerfs on peacekeeper as mentioned in first post, the indicator for zone comes earlier because it was coming too late making it seem faster than it was, it is treated as a light attack so a block makes it punishable, damage on side dodge attack down as it was doing 25/30% damage in fights, riposte stab gets a slight buff in damage because it was not being used due to not enough reward. They hinted maybe looking at the light light chain down the line but they are mindful that the valkyrie got the nerfhammer harder than they meant so they are doing things step by step.

Lawbringer buffs but I have nowhere near enough experience with him to know how they will affect things. Berserker will get slight buffs, they are taking that carefully for same reason as peacekeeper and valkyrie the other way.

Elimination mode boosts will spawn 20 seconds after the round starts and will take another second to gain. One thing I did notice was that someof the questions were word for word what was posted on these forums, so reps are reading and passing on.

Raider and orochi not touched on the next patch but apparently their time will come so they are being looked at.

Next Warrior's Den is next thursday, they mentioned early on doing it later in the week as updates tend to get done around that time so sometimes thursday sometimes friday.
