Dark Souls 3 Patch Notes - Regulation Version 1.32 - April 5th

 Patches Notes
There is a new patch coming out today.

Quick analysis:

A bit of balancing on the angels, frustrating for a lot of players, a bit of balancing on Spears of the Church as well. A lot of balancing on infusions, and a quick nerf the meta weapons, especially RKPGS which is becoming problematic. Please note it's still a tentative balance, done through a regulation update so we didn't have the same liberty as with a full patch, we'll see how it evolves.

The infamous combo on the Painting Guardian Curved Sword should also be fixed in the update.
