It should leave everything untouched, at least that's how it works with uniques upgrading:

Yea yea yea relax. I'm just saying it's mijd blowing... D2r is about to be a different game then d2.

My Takaway:

A3 Merchs get a lil buff, my Barb is happy
Leap might actually viable to play bc of faster ow, my BArb is Happy.

And best of all, finally A5 pits got to be TC85.

No new Meta, but Plague has to be looked into

patch 2.5

hammers 1/3 damage, now 2x mana cost

Is there a mention of the char 8kb limitations?

bump

Because uninterruptible.
I have to go hit some fallen make three charges tiger strike and i have 25% chance to one hit ko any half decent pala or barb.
Maybe dragon tail? If the opponent is standing still maybe…
Blade sentinel might stand a chance teleport sentinel

melee chars are still melee chars and charging up is impossible and dragon tail gets double pvp penalties
but blade sentinel telestomping will be hilarious

We mathed it out to be about 17k damage blade sentinels for a vita caster build holding edeath ettin axe + phoenix on a normal enigma/fcr gear shell

Can u math blade shield with botd war pike or any good two hand eth indestructible weapon? Or will it be allways grief better?

unlike blade sentinel/fury where you care about the skill damage blade shield would still be best cast as a level 1 skill (to reduce mana cost) where you just deal 75% of your normal attack damage per hit
so whatever it says on the char screen would probably be accurate
if its a 450 damage weapon with +700% enhanced damage and 72% deadly strike, that's like 4600 blade shield
