inspired daring and the next update

[PakMonyet]

<p>Okay, so I've read the producer's farewell letter......</p><p>LOL....can someone clue me in to what is going on here!?</p><p>What does the change to Inspired Daring (Insight) really entail?</p><p>Can someone explain in newbie speak so I can understand it, please.</p>

<p>As it stands currently our Inspired Daring line is considered a spell and thus checks against spell crit for critical attacks.</p><p>With GU52 it will be changed to a melee attack and will check against melee crit instead of spell crit. This will improve its damage potential greatly depending on how much crit you have.</p>

<p>Great info....Thanks Odeius!</p><p>This looks like a great change for us......as a melee focused class its good to see things checking the melee crit instead of spell crit!</p>

<p>Ya, now to get poisons to actually use STR instead of INT for the base damage mod... sigh</p>

If you aren't a predator then you pretty much won't be criting poisons anymore.</p>
