Yeah, level 50 is what it was if you made the runeword a while ago. It's a shame the damage for level 40 skills drops by about 26% (28% drop for Blizz, 23% for FOrb), which really affects the Convictor build (but maybe not the FrostBite build). The weapon was the main item to use during NM for Convictors, since it doesn't do a lot in Hell (2.5k Blizz even stacked 2-3 times isn't even 10k dps). It should still be alright for easier trash (not berzerks, wyrms, multiple named-groups, etc) until about A2 Hell. It's unfortunate that when someone made the changes, they didn't put in any of the requested changes to the item, like replenish-durability.
Anyways, what's important is what other changes have been made. Maybe "Penitence" was fixed? That would be nice. Maybe "War" no longer has IncreasedStamina, or "Enigma" lost teleport? Maybe only the niche-items were changed. I dont' have the runes to test much, but if we had the revised text files, then Critter's site could be updated.
I've been able to test "Bramble" on Duffs server, and it appears to be unchanged. 1 item down, lots more to go. I haven't heard of any crafted item being changed, so hopefully people won't get any surprises there.
I was hoping that this thread would be answered quickly, but I guess the server hosts either aren't coming forward, or just havn't responded for some other reason. I hope this isn't the start of the DS split again. It would suck if, like in the DS version of HU, the server hosts starting making their own personal items that only they would know about.
