Considering how cheap it is to NPC-repair to 99%, there's no drawbacks until 0%, and now that there's a repair NPC at every camp and settlement... this is completely understandable.

All damage seems to have decreased. I was only LNC 26 before the patch, but I'd always melee above 120 damage on sameish rank mobs. Post patch I was meleeing for 27-30. Doomspike used to do upwards of 700 with 3k tp, now it only does 200-350 depending on randomness/mob type.

I know, not endgame level numbers, but very noticeable for me.

Holy crap, this was fucking with my head so much last night. Sitting around waiting to see an evade, what bullshit.

Also, along with Multishot + Raging strike being nerfed damage wise, it also got nerfed TP wise. Each shot gives the same amount of TP no matter how many arrows are nocked. It was somewhat mentioned, but still vague.

I honestly never noticed this before patch but I may be wrong:

Cures can now crit like every other spell. Log doesn't mention anything but you get the crit animation and you heal more (like 60 extra HP or so on Cure II).
I also noticed a huge damage reduction on both Spirit Dart (and every other version of it) and Levinbolt.

Lots of people are saying Archers have been nerfed pretty hard and LNC and MRD are now raping, my ARC isn't high enough to really get a good feel about it though.

Archer has definitely been hit hard, but I think the changes are fair considering how fucking powerful archer used to be.

Not sure if it was mentioned in patch notes (can only see stuff about HP/MP restore), but you begin to lose TP instantly after deaggro/mob death so now you can't even go to a mob 2m away without most of your TP disappearing (same applies if a mob decides to deaggro and run back to spawn)

Food effects have been changed, or at least updated to the new stats. Jerked Beef brought my attack from 499-567 on lancer and gave me a solid 100 hp. I didn't notice the attack difference on my lvl 35 gladiator, but I went from hitting 51-55 to about 62-64 from a quick eyeball (on the same mob, used mid fight).

Have they fixed the fact that HP from food didn't matter? Pre-update anytime you used an ability/spell (regardless of if it did or did not consume HP) with food effect your current HP dropped to whatever your max without food was.

Also, are HQs broken or did some LNC weaps get buffed, my ban +2 lance is now the same/worse compared to the raid weapon and even the GC one whereas it had 20~atk and 0-5acc more before

HQ stuff aren't broken afaik, for example, what's your ban lance's damage? I have a NQ and it's 117. HQ might not be as good as before, though

Edit: I think there's no disparity in damage as far as "polearm types" are concerned, no longer are lances stronger and less accurate than their counterparts, so since banneret is just a lvl 48 polearm, it pales when compared to lvl 50 ones (i'm guessing)

I didn't look at all the weapon types, but at least for swords it seemed that all dated weapons had slightly worse stats than non-dated crafted swords. And I didn't play much at all during 1.18, so this might be old, but the penalty for using weapons&armor on a job that isn't the optimal level or class is harsh. You get zero stats (like craftsmanship or STR), and my 33 gladiator with a r42 sword had a 90% reduction in damage.
