I believe this patch to be a huge step backward, with the resist cap - which is not even noted in the patch notes - being the largest offender. The leech change I suppose was inevitable, but I personally thought it was fine the way it was. The inventory changes are annoying, but I can live with them.
For me it's a huge step into right direction. Leech was a game breaker and I'm glad it's fixed. When comes to resistant cap I think it's also a good thing, but I'd prefer to have ability to become immune to single elemental.
