Ok, I'm not posting the full patch notes, they are quite long and honestly.. this is a blog for Barbarians. So, here are the snipits that I've found to pertain to us and a little bit of what they mean for our future.
Before we get started, sorry again for the lack of updates. Still in training at the new job and it takes a good chunk of my time.
For some reason, lists aren't agreeing with indenting subtabs, so this might not look the best. I'll try to tidy it up later.
Combat
* Combos and all other actions will be aborted when you start to charge.
* The combo chain will now be stopped when you begin a charge.
* You can no longer start combos in the middle of a charge.
-Easy enough. No more exploiting Finishing Blow, with any combo. Time to respec out of it.
* You can now abort multihit combos without all the damage being rolled back.
-Awesome! No more lost damage when our combos get interrupted.
* Aborting multihit combos will not make the target's health become desynced from the client/server anymore.
* Fizzle and immunity rolls have been moved to the end of your spellcast. If your target becomes immune after you start your spellcast but before it deals damage, your target will resist the spell.
* Stealth is checked again at the end of your spellcast. If your target hides before you land the spell, your spellcast will fail.
* The distance to your target while casting a spell is checked again at the end of your spellcast, with a 25% bonus to your range.
* Line of sight to your target is checked again at the end of your spellcast.
-All the above are putting casters in check. Now if you LoS them mid cast, they fail. BIG boost in PvP.
* Combo finishers (the last attack in the combo chain) now have 25% extra range, making them easier to land in PvP.
-Again, awesome pvp boost.
* Aborting unarmed attacks (using a knockback, for example) will now properly cause the damage not to be dealt.
* Active Blocking now displays a buff in the debuff GUI indicating the effect.
* Active Blocking now has an initial stamina cost upon activation.
* Active Blocking has been modified to increase the player's shielding bonus rather than evade chance.
* Attacks and heals performed while in Active Blocking will now have reduced effect.
-Again, starting to put casters and healers in check in PvP.
* Clickable abilities with instant effects will not be queued after your attack anymore, but executed right away.
* For each attack in the combo chain that you do without a valid target, your end damage (on the combo finisher) is reduced 15% per miss.
-Ambiguous wording FTL. It seems that any directional swing you take that misses will reduce damage done by the actual combo by 15%. Not the best news, but PvP will be a whole new game if these notes all hit at the same time. Also, this is good news for Smash n Crush and Brutal Cyclone.
* Attack animation speed should be more balanced between genders.
-Neat.
Player Character
* You now only prohibited from entering stealth mode if team members are in combat nearby.
-O.M.G. YES!
* All your team members and their pets will now get the fatality buff when a team member performs a fatality.

The combat coder on the testlive forums confirmed the 15% penalty applies to any directional attack that does not hit the enemy, even if you have them targeted. But he said the change isn't coming in for a while, and that it's supposed to come in with a package that makes melee a "little easier" - the only thing I'm worried about is if Funcom truly understands what high level PVP is like. They might break melee if they're not careful.
This blog is shit, can youclose it please?
No
ignore that guy, this blog rules
No, really is shit
"For each attack in the combo chain that you do without a valid target, your end damage (on the combo finisher) is reduced 15% per miss."
If I remember correctly, this means that you must have a valid target inside your melee range. Meaning no more "preloading" combos by hitting air. I see it as a welcome change since preloading always looked silly to me.
If you have a target in your melee range but he evades your hits, you do not get the penalty. If he runs away from range, you do get the penalty.
Also I believe they mentioned something about increasing melee range by 25% together with this change.
andrew: the combat coder confirmed that is not the case, but that every directional attack must hit.
my bad ignore that i misread your post

You should also note that a prolonged erection (of four hours or more) is potentially damaging to the penis, and you should also seek advice if the erection becomes painful.

I just want to say thank you for all of the previous blog entries. As a current 2nd year attorney practicing litigation (in Orange County, CA), it is my hope that I can one day venture more deeply into providing legal advice for the video game industry as a whole. As an avid supporter and fan of the video game and IP world, your blog is more than helpful in analyzing many of the issues that have arisen within the video game world.
Again, I just want to say thank you and hope you are having fun in your other ventures cat mario game
