Well i guess with Pre-Emptive Strike back the issue with full support Archers not contributing with enough damage is out of the way. 
A good thing, but i still hope they tweak Hunter a little bit. That damage reduction in Growling still makes no sense whatsoever.
Looks like Double Attack only works with secondary weapons attacks now. No Double Gun Stance-
All gems are bugged. They go back to lvl 1+no roasting when equipping lol
(please someone correct me if wrong)

That change make me very happy =D
I know it’s a convinience for Retiarius but it feels wrong…
It’s the only skill that scales off daggers attack in the Swordsman tree, so that makes sense.
Interesting no nerfs on Assassin or Bullet Marker but the Schwarzer Reiter got one.
Did they lower the sp cost ? Because i don’t think you can sustain the new sp cost for 60 seconds without spamming every single type of mana pots on CD
Dragoon helmet appearance!! 
Wait for PD’s
Dragoon’s helmet was indeed too powerful sitting at 60 sec duration, 10 cd, +100% damage with dragoon skills.
But making it cost 2% or 1% sp usage per second sounds a bit crazy now. I doubt you’d be able to keep it up for 5 min while still spamming tons of dragoon skills to deal damage. Surely the 2% sp per sec version will barely last 20 seconds.
Interesting they changed Dragoon’s helmet but didn’t touch Murmillo’s yet. I’d be ok with it becoming a 12.5% physical defense increase and 12.5% shield skill damage increase, but I truly hope it doesn’t drain SP crazily like the dragoon’s helmet now.
bout goddamn time
meanwhile
musket… still nothing FeelsBadMan
It is really interesting that offensive rapide returned. Epee Garde duration increase will make, assumind the CD is unchanged, to be fulltime.
It was not something needed, but it is more convenient anyway.
And Matador bleed seems OP.
Looks like they’re trying to reduce weapon investment so that each class would only have to scale off either the main hand or the sub.
I get that, but it just feel off now that the dagger itself won’t matter. Could be better to have it scaling with both weapons in 100% since is Dagger Finish.
It’s just me or Highlander is waaaay stronger than Doppel now?
How does Hackapell works kn the Swordsman branch?You still need a bow and handed sword to perform the skills or just the 1 handed sword is enough?
Since it move to the Swordsman branch and nit the Scout branch,I don’t see why it needs a bow anymore.If it does indeed still needs a bow then why not transfer the class where it’s suited and make sense which in the Scout branch where they use daggers,guns and range attacks?
Tried new patch for an hr or so…
Seems like freeze doesn’t change monster type to ice anymore. No more lightning +50% damage. (Not sure if is intended or bug)
Instant dungeons and CM monsters are over nerfed. Give me back at least half of the previous difficulty ><
