I have heard this rumor that will pretty much kick the **** outta BMs

You will need 4 99 Gear for the -int bonus meaning if got 2 LA already need 4 and kills you pdef

This does nothing to LA Classes like archer and assassin cause there LA class and they got rank -int chests but to BMs it would have a huge impact

I think if this rumor is true BMs will be hit extremely hard we will not be able to reach 5aps unless tome and if have LA set already no point in using then all we have left is HF

So does anyone have confirmed reports that this is going to happen?

    I've heard that rumor as well, but I seriously doubt it will ever happen. If they change the way one area of TT armor works they'd have to change it all, and that could potentially cause more of an upset than Rank 8 for 72 gold.

    I don't think you really need to worry.

    I heard such a rumor too. It was a bit different though:

    Rank 8 will cost 72 gold soon. b:avoid

    Anyway... I want to have a source for your rumor. I've heard it once or twice too but devs didn't comment on it as far as I know. If it does happen, you'd need TT99 ha belt and three armor pieces if you have Nirv pants. Then again... I'd either go full TT99 HA or full Nirvana as both would give -0.15 int (set bonus + wrists or pants + wrists).

    Even if it does happen, it will not "destroy BMs", only destroys the fists farming alts people made in the past year. *Throws on a pair of G15 zerk axes*

    5 aps still perfectly possible. With that update, though, BMs would need every piece of -int available to them and they would have to use HA belt or neck D:

    Who cares.

    Every caster will cry at Rank 9 God of Frenzy axes with a total of +75 attack levels. Guaranteed.

    And all those R8 will have sht refine on armors. So it's even more (not that it wasn't before already) a cat and mouse game. You catch the caster in a stun, you win. They crit you while running all over the world, they win.
