Here is some specific information on the weapon change over/skill change over:
As planned Sword has swapped over to Heavy. Dagger has swapped over to Finesse. All other single hand melee has swapped to Light. All missile skills have swapped to missile.
Spells, including rares and cloaks, have changed in the same manner. New cloaks will drop featuring the new skills we are adding to the game.
New spells for Shield can be found on Shields and Hand Armor. The other skills will be found on weapons (where appropriate, Dual Wield should never show up on a missile/wand/two handed weapon) and head armor.
Cantrips follow the same rules as all other cantrips.
Defenders loot sets now has a shield spell included. Soldiers set is now Heavy/Light/Two Handed weapons along with Dirty Fighting and Recklessness. Swift set is now Sprint, Jump, Finesse Weapons, Dual Wield and Sneak Attack. There is also a good chance the SWift set will be renamed to something more fitting such as Rogue’s set.
Each player will get to choose a ranged and melee mastery. These masteries will be a +5 Damage Rating boost to attacks. The reason for +5 DR is to give flavor to a character while not overly penalizing players who want to use multiple weapon types.
