A good start on Ep 3

Well as i said on Tuesday, i have more pictures to put up, but before i do post them i would like to make a few comments on what i have seen. Mages seem to be enjoying this update, it has given them many of spells they desired for a long time and increased damage of some of the spells such as sunburst and Blizzard. That being said i am hearing that it takes more for them to caste spells which is the downside. I think when advance spirit becomes more common this wont be such a problem, as 20% more mp should help out, and with all the regain items available (maybe not financially but they are in game) mages can regain faster then ever before. DE's also seem to be doing well, I notice that bring stones drop in alot more places then before (such as in toi) and with the level damage bonus and increased effectiveness of many little used spells it seems they are not having much difficulty (though all the DE's i have spoken with are 49+). Knights while not receiving many new items, do gain quite a bit in terms of buffs both from mages and elfs (I-Skin 30 minutes, NT, ect). And last we come to elfs. I still really enjoy elf and do not plan on switching classes. I think its nice to see more elfs using different lines which have been improved. I think many elfs are disapointed however because we were lead to believe that NT would be level (so in my case 56) -9 for hp regain. This turned out to be false and it is +15hp regain. While this does help it does not change the fact that B2S has been drastically altered. I am still getting used to it and though the decreased delay is nice, the ratio of hp/mp is alot higher, meaning that you loose more hp for the mp you gain. This coupled with the fact that NB costs more to caste and heals less does make hunting more challenging. I am still able to hunt the areas i did previously but i find myself holding down the B2S key while im walking in order to gain mp which gets pretty tedious. Mostly i feel sorry for the lower level elfs because those are the ones which will have the hardest times. There are some positives though, Area of silence is a interesting spell (Albeit 10sgems for 10 seconds of silence is a bit steep) and there have been other spells added. Wafers drop in a few more hunting areas which hopefully will decrease the price and arrow weight has decreased which allows me to carry more potions. However with the changes to NB and B2S it is definetly adventagous to carry extra potions. Overall i like the episode but i do feel that there are some changes which should be made regarding the elf class. Anyways on to the pictures...
