[quote="NEXUSJR"]It has come to my attention as an Axe user of the Devils that as a collective, the 4th Axe aura was nerfed from A speed to B speed. If this is the case, I would like a reason from anyone explaining why the Devil side got nerfed from this if it was supposedly to balance out something on the human side. One of the primary reasons for taking the low dex the whole game was to reach A speed axe. I feel like this is a nerf that would ruin the game for me if it was so, as 4th Axe was my favorite aura by far. It was the one thing that made being a slow, undexy, tanky axe user fun :P What I have been told is that it was to counter bow/axe combinations on hsoma side. Well if this literally can't apply to us devils, why do us few axers have to take the hit as well? Any information or anything would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]

[quote="JINJ"]I agree. The only reason I'm playing a dsoma axe user is because I absolutely love 4th axe. On dsoma, when you choose axe, you sacrifice a guaranteed hit for 4th aura and a massive amount of dex for the pleasure of 4th axe. The A speed for devil axers is counteracted by the fact that axers have to punch much more than other melle classes at higher levels too. Maybe 850 speed would be a good compromise?[/quote]

[quote="GENEFUSER"]I agree too! It's absurd that every other class has their 4th buffed and ours is nerfed.... what... are we gonna stone them to death? Hsoma is hsoma... don't nerf us too. It's not like we can learn 4th bow/knuckle/sword/spear ......[/quote]

[quote="JARAGOONDOO"]Not an axe user, but I agree. Speed should be set to 800 imo (standard A speed)[/quote]

[quote="NEXUSJR"]Thanks for the reply.. Thank you for the consideration.. If something springs up during USAGE of it I'll be sure to let you know ^_^[/quote]

[quote="BASIL"]This has made me sad ...[/quote]

[quote="NEXUSJR"]It's a loss for all axers.. Sadly, one of us has to get to 120 skill before reconsideration[/quote]

[quote="ZARK"]Being a dsoma axe man myself I didn't actually know it was nerfed until yesterday. Main reason I picked axe was for 4th aura which makes up for there poor dex. This had seriously put a downer on me playing my axer as it seem most classes got buffed instead for some reason we get nerfed[/quote]

[quote="CYROX"]I really think a log of changes should be published on this website. Who knows what else has changed? I hear 5th sword has changed also (don't quote me). It's sad people have picked weapons up on the basis of certain future auras only to find they have been nerfed. Have any improvements been made to other weapons?[/quote]

Also 2nd axe has also been improved to add 15% of your str (hsoma) con (dsoma) as defence so all in all thats alot better than it use to be [/quote]

[quote="CYROX"]Corrax. Where are you getting this information from? I am shocked dodge has been so badly nerfed. It's HSoma bred and butter for farming. [/quote]

[quote="SHATTERSTAR"]I didn't know about any of these changes either. Having played sword and bow in original soma I thought I would change it up and go axe because I thought the 4th was something of a change at end game. Bad times for me.[/quote]

[quote="ZARK"]Only reason people train so hard on axe with there poor dex is for 4th aura. Now it's even harder to level the axemam now[/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"]Here's the changelog: http://www.somadev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7747 Though nothing gamebreaking was changed in my opinion.[/quote]
