Final Thoughts / Patch Notes

Coming soonish. Did you know that sometimes Valve makes changes to the game without putting them in the patch notes? For example, a few days after the Halloween update, they increased mini-turret base spirit resist from 30% to 35%. First of all, I didn't even know they still had base spirit resist -- I thought that was done away with by the new decaying resists system, but there ya go. They've also been tinkering with how mini-turrets give souls on death. Anyway I'm gonna stop using the Build Description for my notes and just put them down here where you have to scroll to find it. K that's it for now love you bye
