1.5.1 Client Release

[LordChaos]

I understand that the team wants to balance out the three items as they are similar, but I can tell you that with :

Maneater: 54c, 105 speed
Elegant Hafted Axe: 58c, 101 speed
Steel Headed Axe: 56c, 103 speed

The maneater is left to die, as the difference between 103 and 105 speed is not that much noticable. Give the maneater a +1 speed or +2 if needed, as it was made for its speed. Funny though, I am the only one who owns a maneater , but with that change, I would gladly change it to one of the two others as the changes are significant. 

Yet no weapon is Royal Guard locked   .

The changes for the usability for sentinel are great, as they might push people to pick that hero class again.

Interesting point on the axes.  It is 2 for 2 all around, but maybe once it reaches a certain cut damage the trade is no longer worth it.  I'll look into it.

Royal Guards have plenty for them for now.  Maybe they will get their own toys at some point, but we need to make sure the game has a strong structure first, then roll out phase 2.

Glad you are happy with Sentinels.  One hand heroes ftw.

Yeah, I just think that maneater is great how it is, but since the buff of the nords, it bounces off a lot, it is great for the stagger it causes, but in the mean time, the cut is not enough, steel headed axe has the most balanced stats and staggers, aswell the Elegant hafted axe can now aswell due to its buff. 

I love 1 handed heroes, that's why I play RG. :

Please make a blunt 1 handed axe x).
