Looks like right direction but not enough on the surface.

I have an idea brewing though.

How finalized are these changes?

By the way have you seen the deity feats? I starting to try and work out a maul user, it may be time to take the giant's fist out of storage.

If I'm not mistaken the changes to Ninja Spy (based on these notes: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/479530-U33-complete-release-notes-(Dei...)

Tier 5 Deadly Striker gives +2 Competence to Threat range.
Capstone Gives another +1 or maybe +2 Crit Multiplier (it's confusingly written).

Ever since Cordo listed my "Just one thing" request to fix throwing multipliers in his recap, and now with these changes, I actually think they are going to fix them.

The most interesting thing about that, will be bards with Shuriken Expertise in Fury throwing 15-20x3 shurikens. Now that 10k is only like 50-70% doubleshot for most builds, the RoF isn't much lower, and the Bard can still Manyshot with a bow if they want, tho with x3 Shurikens it shouldn't be necessary. Also, exploit weakness is amazing with a high RoF.

They say should because they did no testing...

The problem with the dev's at Turbine is they have been fumbling around in the dark like a virgin on their wedding night for over ten years now, and they still haven't found the right hole.

Your mistake is assuming they are actively looking for a hole. 

It's more likely they're curled up in the fetal position in a corner crying because they're scared of the dark.

30 months.  And you are totally right, if you bring it up in ddochat, or in the developer events on lamma you get blocked, the consistency of their avoidance of the swash issue is so rock solid that there is little question it is a directive from the top down.

So Ninja?  I'm very curious to see what happens.

Which is pretty much how it is?

Based on the text and the DDOstream, I'm going to give U33 a pass as being in general a good thing.  I see no nerfs, other than possibly Fist of Light heals, and potential nerfs for the conversion of handwraps to weapons.

On the plus side, Monks get a clear boost (again, unless the handwraps conversion is for crap), they have added some interesting options for divines even if I don't think they will  bridge the gap to competitively playable.  Any scrap is a good scrap, I guess.  What is interesting is that when asked in chat Cordovan didn't affirm that this was the Monk class pass.  Who knows if that was him being stupid, or if further Monk work is pending.  Hopefully this will not count in any way as a divine pass...

And Cordovan claims that they did a "general typo pass" and corrected dozens of typos, which is something I have thought was long overdue, and both a QOL patch and also a "we have the minimum amount of pride in our work toy remain amongst the living" patch.  It was probably only sparked by Lynabell's internship and her efforts making similar typo corrections before she left, but I don't care what brought about the sudden interest in fixing years old errors, I'm just glad they finally decided to spend 8 hours of dev time getting them done.

Agreed.  Cordovan's list only listed one such error correction, it was in his chat that he claimed that there had been a "general typo pass."  And he further claimed that he only listed one example even though there were "dozens" of typo fixes.  Perhaps he isn't terribly proud of the fact that those typos have lived on for years without any effort being made for correct them?  I certainly think very poorly of Turbine when I see these facts, and I'd hope that many pothers would also think poorly of them for ignoring such easy to fix issues which said so much about their lack of quality control and customer support.
