Has anyone noticed a difference after this update?

Leather armor is best for sneaking, because it's literally made from hide.

Icefiend's casting some mindblowing chainlightning. And, uhm - dont really understand what the 'fix' stands for.

Does he mean, disrupt a spell vs meelee dmg from npc or..?

Vice versa. Player disturbing the casting of a NPC.

Dunno, havent noticed any real differences except that its harder to disrupt the casting. Since the mobs cast the spells so erraticly fast. Also due to the missrate its rather irrelevant to even disrupt any spellcaster.

So basically it takes more damage to disrupt a spell? Not really following this or have tested it.

This is dependant on the NPC. High end npc's like fiends and lota should not fail spells as easily.
Hear it not my lord, for it is a knell. That summons thee to heaven, or to hell.

Yeah, now that they nerfed SS gains, Medi gains, Hitrate, Mauls, this and that. Boosting Rangers/Knights/Mages.
Tweaking AI for casters to make em able to hunt with spells instead of poke/summons.

And where's the increase to hitrate from clothes? -_-
Cant see any difference while wearing clothes or not, are they just to "look cool" nowadays? :>
