Version Log and further Links

Version Log

v1.4: Updated the guide from Mod 23 to Mod 25. Added a section about “Animation Canceling” and deleted the “Stat Space” section.

v1.3: Updated the guide from Mod 22 to Mod 23.

v1.2: Updated the guide from Mod 21 to Mod 22.

v1.1: Fixed an error in the calculation of the deflect part of the AEHP. The old AEHP formula overestimated the impact of Deflect! Instead of a maximum increase of 81% in survivability it gives in reality less than ~74.3%!
