"To answer the itemization question: We have done a lot of work to make the itemization fun and exciting in the next major update. There are lots of cool unique sets for players to chase after in multiple different areas. We're doing extensive balance work to make sure they all give competitive bonuses instead of the current paradigm where everyone just chases the few uber powerful sets. This will allow players to customize sets to their playstyle instead of just getting whatever adds the most damage.
Additionally the new content has a short term and a long term item chase as well. To go hand in hand with that the power spike on the new items is bigger, so players are more rewarded for upgrading their gear."

    Also changes to XP and XP areas

    "We are aware of balance concerns from players with more champion points. As Phil mentioned the system was designed to help keep players closer in power level with diminishing returns and enlightenment bonus XP. In the future we can implement catchup mechanics so the first 400 champion ranks require less experience, helping get new players catch up.
    In terms of XP, we're actually buffing for some areas in the next major update. Specifically public dungeons and craglorn are being increased. Additionally we're increasing the XP that veteran level quests give so there's more of a parity between gains between questers and grinders. Lastly we're reducing the amount of XP required to get a veteran rank so players can get to the max level content sooner."

    "For the next major update you'll see a lot of cool customization options with all the crazy new item sets. For example we've got one that will have you running around chasing orbs for bonus damage, or additional attacks vs targets with damage shields."

    That'll be interesting.

    A set that would boost lightning damage would be nice, instead of everything being based around fire.

    I read that on the Xbox console AMA as well. I'm thinking it'll be a very small percent 5 pc bonus...i.e "2% chance to increase dmg by 10% against targets with shields. Effect lasts 10 seconds and cannot occur more than once every 6 minutes" or something along those lines.

    Glad I've been saving mah keys. I wonder if they have a set that does more damage against block. As a light armor Dk my bubble was my only defense, and I sacrifice offense for it rather than gain offense for it. Hopefully these changes keep such things in mind.

    Combine this with apparent plans to make Shadow Cloak no longer be countered by Detection Potions, and Nightblade will arguably have the best mitigation in the game.

    What's about the 5-set-bonus: Your range attacks cannot be dodged anymore.
    or the bonus: If yyour enemis uses BoL/Streak more than 10 times in 10 seconds, he will die instant.

    Ofc, would be an idea. But either blocking nor shields are a problem for my stamina NB. I just can permadodge and ignore Harness. But I agree that there should ba a set countering shieldstacking and perma blocking so fights wont be endless.

    Ah yea.... The great counter against a sorc that uses BoL 4-5 times without a break.

    I have come across some really good players who can hunt me down no matter how many times I streak. I recommend using a distance closer that has a stun built in.

    There are ways if you have a spammable gabcloser. But just stamina builds with 2h or NBs have such a spammable gabcloser. And even with such an oportunity. In a small fight a good sorc usually can escape very easy.

    Looks like I had best finish leveling my DK. My Templar will not be going into small scale PvP if this set bonus is significant.

    I have a nightblade and i personally don't agree with that change, i think its going to make Dark Cloak Overpowered

    here is the link to the AMA, this one is talking about Sorc Stamina Morphs
    They should change their dev tracker to monitor the forums they actually show up on rather than this thing I'm typing on. Seriously, what is this thing I'm on even for?
