Final Thoughts / Update Notes

22 Jan: BOTH NEW ITEMS ARE PRETTY FREAKIN NEAT FOR TURRET BUILD I'M SO BACK CHATTERS. More revisions to come, just wanted to throw this one out real quick so you know I'm paying attention. Never really have a chance to buy Echo Shard all that often anyway, so I bumped it for Ballistic Enchantment. Recharging Rush is the Thing, tho, can't wait to get data on it. Now.. GO FORTH MY TURRETLINGS
