Wow, no mention of nerfing Invincimonk farming... except for divine boon, which isn't essential. I'm surprised. But it sounds good for pvp. Thanks for link.

The full skill changes are here! They nerfed invincimonk, and quite rightly. The sad thing is, I only did it for one night, and I easily made back my investment. Talk about hella powerful. Now I'll have to get 9 more ecto the old fashioned way...  (By buying it off someone who got it the really old fashioned way!) |
