Dark Souls II Patch v1.07 Released

As announced last week, Dark Souls II’s v1.07 patch (v1.05 on Steam) has been released, including a host of balancing tweaks and all the Crown of the Old Iron King DLC content (the DLC, which is actually just an unlock, is going live tomorrow).

Given some early tests have confirmed that the officially translated patch notes are wrong, I’m going to point you to some retranslated patch notes from Redditor “mauvecow”. Here’s a quote with a couple of the most notable corrections:

• Sorcery [Soul Spear] has reduced casting speed and damage to poise. (ed: ‘reduced casting speed’ means slower to cast, in this context.)
• Sorcery [Crystal Soul Spear] has reduced casting speed and damage to poise, requires more slots, and has increased uses.
• Sorceries [Soul Geyser] [Soul Shower] have reduced damage to poise.
• Sorcery [Strong Magic Shield] has reduced stability effect.
• Miracles [Lightning Spear] [Great Lightning Spear] [Sunlight Spear] [Emit Force] [Blinding Bolt] [Heavenly Thunder] have reduced damage to poise.

…

• Pyromancy [Fire Whip] has reduced damage to poise.
• Hexes [Affinity] [Scraps of Life] [Resonant Soul] [Great Resonant Soul] [Climax] have reduced damage to poise.
