Patch: An eagerly-awaited update to the game which everyone hopes will add new content and fix significant problems with the game, but which invariably will actually contain the following: A balance change which completely ruins one of your builds, 4 new unique items(3 of which are only good between levels 8-15 and the other which makes the item you just bought for 53ex completely obsolete and worthless), 3 new microtransaction effects(at least of which looks so amazingly cool that you have to get it right now, but which you are inevitably 5 points short of being able to afford), and a number of carefully considered numeric changes to other skills(the exact method of determining how much to adjust them by is unknown, but rumored to involve a dartboard and beer. Lots of beer.)

How's this:

Viable: [adj.] A well built character (alternatively, a powerful skill). A viable character is reliably able to complete high level content by instantly killing packs of enemies as they appear on screen while maintaining near-immunity to all available threats. Defensive viability is often measured as the time the player can be away from keyboard in a dense combat situation without losing a significant portion of his/her hitpoints.
