For Oak Stance, Death or Glory, Combat Meditation and Bloodlust, inverted the effect of disparity in combat stats between you and the opponent(s), so that you get a better effect from them the better your opponent is, rather than the other way around. This primarily to reduce the effectiveness of alts.
that INCREASES the effectiveness of alts..... the stances are now stronger versus stronger opponents? how did you think that would make alts less useful?
thanks for the rangers bow. now i can wallow in despair as i will never be able to get one of decent quality.
