    Nice job on this patch report.

    I wish you included skill changes in your report, because some of them are very significant. Including:
    Paladin's Advanced Charge nerf has been undone
    Dark Knight's Final Pact can no longer be affected by cooldown resets and buff duration increasing effects, and their Hyper Body hypers have been replaced by Evil Eye hypers
    Bishop's Heaven's Door's buff now has a 10 minute "cooldown"
    Bowmaster's installed Arrow Blaster now shoots slower
    Marksman's Snipe now hits multiple times again, and their High Speed Shot now hits multiple times as well
    Night Lord's Bleed Dart's duration is now the same as its cooldown
    Shadower now has a teleport skill, and their Meso Explosion's cooldown has been removed
    Shadow Partner and Mirror Image's cast delays have been decreased from 3 seconds to 1 second
    Corsair's Broadside is now a summon skill and using Nautilus Strike will decrease Broadside's cooldown
    Dual Blade and Cannoneer have new return skills
    Mihile's Soul Asylum's %HP damage reduction now only occurs for 15 seconds after successfully using Royal Guard
    Aran's Adrenaline Rush's damage boost dropped significantly
    Evan lost more than half of their total Final Damage increase, their Wind Flash now does less damage against a single enemy, and their Thunder Dive now generates orbs slower and the orbs now last shorter
    Demon Slayer's Carrion Breath hypers have been replaced by Demon Lash hypers and their Blue Blood's cooldown can now be reduced by absorbing 50 Fury and having Boundless Rage active
    Xenon's Pinpoint Salvo now acts like Wind Archer's Trifling Wind but with a 2 second cooldown between activations
    Kinesis's Psychic Assault's debuff now lasts 20 seconds, their Psychic Drain now lasts 10 seconds, and their Mind Quake now lasts 20 seconds, but its cooldown has been increased to 20 seconds as well

    The patch notes missed some very important changes. Including:
    Many bosses with death counts now auto-revive you after 35 seconds into your death
    Normal Lotus and Normal Damien no longer have a daily entry limit, instead you now have to wait 30 minutes before you can try again
    Damien now has a boss soul
    Murgoth's Soul Collector now includes every boss that are available in KMS
    Boss Arena has been closed down
    The Magnetic Elite Monster prefix has been removed
    The Monster Collection now has monsters from Crimsonheart Castle, Dark World Tree, Fantasy Theme World, and Korean Folk Town
    Master Dummy and Gigantic Bellflower Root have been added
    If you forfeit or run out of time on a Sudden Mission that you haven't made progress on, it will no longer count against your daily Sudden Mission limit

    The patch notes didn't include every "A Better Maple" changes. Some of the other implemented changes include:
    Reboot World's Rest EXP Coupons are now available to all worlds
    Respawn Tokens/Passes now fully restore your HP and MP when you revive
    Miracle Circulators are now Inner Ability Black Cubes
    Andersen's Box and similar items no longer need keys

    As far as Angelic Buster's "Revamp" is concerned, Affinity Heart 1 got buffed. It used to give 20 Speed, 10 Jump, and 10 Max Speed, now it gives 40 Speed, 20 Jump, and 25 Max Speed. As a result, Angelic Buster's mobility got buffed greatly.

    And what do you think of the Thanksgiving events, the Rice Cake Festival events, and some of the other events (Towering Crown, RPS Zakum, Jewel Crafting, Haste Event)?

    i didn't talk about the skills because honestly im not going to go into rebalancing, the only reason i brought up kaiser kinesis and AB is because they'd literally been changed to the kms variant, most of this had been filmed before the other events had started and i really dont have the time to go back and add them in.
