I've been meaning to jump back in for a couple of months now but figured I'd wait for this patch to hit. Seems pretty big. Removing Aquila which was like a core item for every agility hero is a big change, along with other stuff. A lot of characters got ability reworks. Very interesting. :thinking:

I'll post the Purge 10 hour video whenever he uploads it. :p
