V 1.3 class changes

fish0331

I haven't read about any except for wizard slayer miscast now applying to ranged weapons...No other buffs/nerfs to other classes?

SethDavis

i think there was also a change to shadowdancer progression

CrevsDaak

well, seems that Seth kitted himself as a Ninja
This isn't like LoL, they don't go and nerf/buff any classes without a real need.
The WS applying Miscast w/ranged weapons is in the BG2Fixpack too, I think that's why it has been included.

Much as we might like to, in some cases.

Nerf the NPC class Dragon. It's totally OP. High resistances, auras, elemental projectiles at will... Incredibly imba! Like omg, did the original QA team check balance at all? :O

Nope and its fine the way it is frankly.

Agreed, @elminster‌ - as I've mentioned elsewhere, I recently took Cernd all the way to the end of ToB for the first time, after having previously been put off by all the negative comments other people have made about him (and Shapeshifters generally). I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that Cernd is actually pretty good, once you've figured out how to use him effectively. Shapeshifters don't really need adjustment, in spite of what some people say - they can already make a pretty decent contribution to the party.

And the thing with Cernd is that he doesn't have 16 constitution or the 18 dexterity that you can get with a charname shapeshifter. Not to mention the boosts provided by the innate draw upon holy might ability. Charname shapeshifters are even better off.

Sylvus_Moonbow

Agreed.

Drizzt can be killed in about 3 seconds with summoned Werebears. Shapeshifters are great!

fish0331

Isnt summoning werebears from a mod

Tresset

@fish0331‌ Yes, but it is a running joke on the forums here. I should really find that discussion and bookmark it so I don't lose it anymore...

Yes, but it's always been optional in BG2FP since it wasn't clear whether it was meant for ranged attacks or not.

Who?

Personally, I like Cernd a lot more now that he doesn't look like a circus clown.
