For those of you worried about Cipher focus, there's a few things that the patch notes don't mention:
- Draining whip now increases focus generation by 33% instead of giving +2 focus per hit (according to the ingame description. Haven't checked). That means no more blunderbuss-cheese, but at the same time it got nice synergy with Biting Whip (more damage = more focus).
- Greater Focus now increases your "base" focus by 10! Tooltip still only says it increases Max Focus and I assume it still does that, too (haven't checked the max).
It's still less focus overall and adds another talent that you might "need", but Ciphers will still be very powerful. Especially since their strongest abilites haven't been touched at all.
