tos.neet indicates a lot of items were added to the lvl 400 raid also. They added gear for healers that increase your healing by 5% per item.
literally nerfed rubric just to add that item
Are you calling the 6s -> 4s and improved skill factor overall a nerf?

Peltasta
The effects on Rim Blow and Umbo Blow removed the ability to properly control a monster’s threat.

Flesh Cannon

Dievdirbys
Carve Attack: Process Wood
-The chance to drop Sculpting Wood has been changed to ([Attribute Level] * 10%).
Oracle
We increased the usability of Foretell and changed the effect to be useful in any environment. (Now you can use it more freely in Skiaclipse!)
Foretell
-The casting style of Foretell has been changed.
Channeling -> Summon magic circle (lasts 10 seconds)
-The effect of Foretell has been changed.
Invulnerability for allies in range -> Reduces damage received by allies in range by ([Skill Level] * 6%).
-SP consumption is now 295.
-Added attribute [Foretell: Enhance].
Inquisitor
We fixed a bug that was causing the effect of [God Smash: Enhance] to stack, so we adjusted the Skill Factor of God Smash to restore the damage lost by this change.

Before:
- 605% with 3 overheats and 15s cooldown on paper, bugged to be 968% with 3 overheats and 15s cooldown.
After:
- Notices its a bug, makes the bug official instead of fixing it and makes it 968% with 3 overheats and 15s cooldown
So, God Smash hitting so hard is not only because of 50% armor ignore, holding a blunt weapon, 2H-Mace attributes or its attribute, but also because it also has ~1000% skill factor before enhancing. Also, instead of fixing the bug, IMC just makes the bug official.
Inquisitor is a really broken class beyond belief and memes.

I’m really not a fan of this. I think that the relative strength of enhancement versus transcendence is in an acceptable place right now. Unless they make enhancement more consistent somehow, I find this change alienating because it stretches the maximal power gap.

It is a power creep band-aid, I am never a fan.

i would be fine with it if they capped enhancing to like 15 or something, and changing the bonus to every 5 starting at 5, rather than 6

So this is where the budget for dps went

It was a channeling skill before? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m an idiot, no wonder why I had the impression the skill was not working. 
Ouch, only a 30% damage reduction after the patch (48% with maxed attribute). This will lower the usefulness of the class.

Finally some love for the healers.
Now, I just wonder which set I’ll get… I’m more interested on the AOE Heal than the buffed heal… @crevox Any idea if there is a limit on how many allies can receive the Bendrinti’s heal effect or if it is party only?
Thanks for the EXCELLENT work, by the way.
I appreciate the kind words. 
Sadly, it isn’t specified any further than that. Legend equipment with set bonuses generally isn’t provided for testing on KTEST as far as I know, so it may be some time before we can see it in action.

That Foretell change is huge.
What happened to IMC telling us they don’t want to tweak popular classes too much, or not at all, if possible? Now we get weekly changes to classes such as Bokor, Sorcerer, Necromancer, Inquisitor, Oracle, Exorcist, etc.
I’m still waiting for my Palabro buffs.
The new Swordsman class seems to be shield focused judging by the skill name.

This is basically undoing their work toward balancing anviling rng. Didn’t think they say they wanted rng anviling to be less impactful, thus making the changes to base values of armor so transcending is more impactful?
This is a baffling change I am not sure wtf they are thinking.

So now that I finally stopped using a 2H Hammer for my exorcist… they make a Rubric 2H Hammer…
New Foretell… do not like.
I hope we can still get the old GTW costumes, because these don’t look good.
Smugis just seems OP.
(To me, 4s Rubric is a nerf, even wtih better SFR, not to mention it’ll be what, 2 seconds now without the Hammer?)
And how do we obtain these set effects ? with farming half a year to fill the new Solutions.
