Overall combat feels a lot better to me. (Templar) Animations are better. Balance is better. The dodge buff is wonderful! Better sound f/x and of course graphic details are perfect.
My only downside is that I have hard crashed twice and had never had that issue before. I play in windowed mode. I am also getting excessive graphics lag.
But still overall, I LOVE this patch
edit: forgot to add that the combat "what killed you" was so needed and is GREAT.
