	This was yesterday, did we learn anything useful? I obviously didn't go watch anyone's retarded livestream, what are the highlights?

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	Monk? Great. Will the iconic be good with handwraps, kamas, or some other monk weapon?

I honestly have no fucking clue why "some asshole's livestream" is considered the correct place to release information.

	Quote: Natural Climber: +50% Movement Speed while climbing Ladders and other climbable surfaces (such as Vines) (Known Issue: This ability is being cut for technical reasons, but has not been replaced yet in this build. We are open to suggestions on its replacement). Yes, I'm sure they will listen very carefully... Having read through the entire thing is is about 9 kinds of stupid. The base Tabaxi can't make up its mind if its supposed to be swf or twf. The iconic has all sorts of special abilities that probably sounded good in the dev's head but are useless in practice. And as previously mentioned the racial PL grants +1 to dex, something needed by absolutely nobody.

I suspect it will end up being too low to be useful, but I mean its worth screwing with. Its stupid little things like: Quote: High Places: After falling for at least 1.5 seconds, when you land you gain +2 Critical Hit Confirmation, +2 Critical Hit Damage, and +25% Armor Piercing for 20 seconds That drive me nuts. Realistically how often do you think that will be remotely useful? Or how about: Quote: Wayfinder's Weapons: Wooden Weapons you are wielding are immune to damage. Because weapon damage and wooden quarter staves are common enough to waste a point on.

	Highlights U53.2: - Tabaxi has a lot customization options and new quarterstaff animation. - Tabaxi tree has +2 DEX/CHA, T2+T3 = 2 sneak dices, T4 evasion, T4 Defensive roll, extra Ki generation - Tabaxi iconic (is a monk) tree has: T4 Wide sweep (quarterstaff cleave with trip), T4 no evasion but true seeing, T4 escape artist (tumble to get 20 sec 25% incorp + 25% conceal, 1 min cd) - Tabaxi racial PL is : +1 tumble, +1 DEX, +1 racial AP - Tabaxi iconic PL is: +1/2/3 Trip DC stance, +1/2/3 trap save passive - 2 new dinosaur mounts - 2 legged so your character is hopping while on em - really annoying - Trap the Soul is now one spell, no HD limits/tiers, all soul gems will be reduced to one tier "medium" (for recipes also) - lesser Shiradi nerf (7% proc, 7d77 dice, scales 100% spellpower) also stay good/frosty changed to stay Light/Force/Poison/Sonic - Isle of Dredd will be pre-saled with the coming patch U53.2, so you can get your hand on Tabaxi/mounts earlier than expansion release.

Highlights: -Fucking dex for racial, say hellow to +4 on the stat we hardly use -quarterstaff-based monk The 4 endgame assassins in the room rejoice for a full free +2 DC. In all reality while I'm not exactly cheering for another +1 dex, I'm not going to complain about +2 reflex or +2 assassinate if I ever decide to go dex assassin again. Honestly; if it wasn't for the fact I made my RDA medium as the most 'universal' choice between my usual build style, I'd probably roll some sort of evasion build and maybe get use out of that reflex at some point between here and the heat death of the universe.

Yeah I'd never say "no" to another +# stat, its just now there's more free dex floating around than anything else but dex is easily the least-used stat. I've got a stable of like 15 alts and not a single one of them uses dex.

	Dex-based is not too bad for a rogue quarterstaff fighter. But then why make the iconic a monk? (This is a rethoric question) Anyway, I foresee a lot of 12/6/2 splits and sorc/FVS rushing through Tabaxi lives.

	I'm probably going to skip the Tabaxi iconic lives, not really worth the effort. Unless the past life stance is really great or something.

I'm certain the iconic isn't/won't be worth it... The question is whether what little OCD I have will tolerate having all lives but those.... I suspect not. Even worse, I think I might have to farm tokens to get those hearts! That's terrible.

Its the stupid true/blood hearts you have to farm for. Fortunately I just lucked into a new, relatively easy solution to that problem.

If they listen to feedback and change the IPL to 3 MDB/Dodge Cap I'll do them. Otherwise this is the first iconic I'll intentionally sit out. And I only ever did the Scoundrel ones inadvertently because I was playing builds that made use of the racial tree, not intentionally to get the IPL.

	IPLs have no passive effects, right? The only benefit is whatever the hell stance you're in? I am tempted to do some more ITRs. I have enough heroic boxes to skip straight to 20, and weirdly I sort of enjoy the 20-30 climb(minus the gear desert of course).
