Time to relearn the game and see how it all checks out in the end

I don't think I'll notice a single one of these changes in pve. Tiny patch

Accross the board buffs to crits and poise/hyperarmour are things you'll probably notice. Parries and staggers will be more rewarding, and heavy weapons/armour will feel better. (Especially in combination.) Will depend on your playstyle for sure, but they're appreciated changes for certain pve builds.

Where did it say that?

Increased critical hit damage.

Decreased recovery time after a missed critical hit.

Increased poise damage of attacks that occur after missing a critical hit.

Fair, I misread other coverage and assumed the poise changes were universal (because hyperarmour is broken generally speaking, if you have enough passive poise you actually lose poise while in hyperarmour, I guess I was over-optimistic assuming they would actually fix that). The crit changes still benefit every build though, dagger and heavy weapon builds in particular. /shurg
