Good luck with it, I'm curious too how battles gonna work out now, but from what I have seen in pvp fights is that the damage dealt, and especially crits do enormous amounts of damage.
So that cant bode well to get many fights in during a battle.
Well, I was in my first battle after the patch, and it was just as I thought it would be, massive damage dealt which ended the battle very quickly, another thing ruined by this fabulous patch!
I got slammed, one battle and took over 10000 in damage, wow... as for a one sided fight.. oops but I wanted to use up diamonds and AS as I may never be back, seeing as Non premiums are getting the shaft now!
Thanks to all that battled with us...enjoy the Amber and DIamonds...
