·Updated the new passive stat boxes at the bottom of the weapon trees so they require 21 points in that tree instead of the mastery box. This allows people to get the passives without changing their combos if they so choose.

For ice any chance we can make frost blast a channeled power or increase it's range? it is easily interuptable and requires you to be very close for the damage to hit ( basically useless).

Any word on increasing the stats/item level of the "T6" gear to be better than the "T5" scion of ion and vestments of raid gear?

I hope you guys realize.. "consume objects" is no longer in the fire tree since.. like the fire revamp right?

No earth love?

Gadgets nerfs and buffs. Excited about the max range for FG and Foam. New PIs for GG and Napalm look interesting aswell. Off to testing.

hmmm still nothing new with light, do we have to wait for the full revamp for changes to things like Fan damage and PI damage?

That's odd...why bring Gravity Bomb's damage down with no PI if Quantum actually needs all the help it can get, currently. While we're on the subject, Singularity ticks for double digits (Might: 4000+), and I'm sorry but we shouldn't be seeing that with that amount of Might.

Good job.

Can earfff get some that...

Yea i would like to know as well.

This is so funny. I KNEW this was going to happen with Gadgets. Especially when you're just looking at numbers on paper.
I can't wait to get on test tonight to check out the if there is additional damage when interacting with frostbitten targets.
I can see how there are trade offs to justify nerfs in some powers but still... I'm very disappointed in how identical the powers are becoming.

I would've preferred the health was untouched on the bosses but as long as these are the only ones that had their health reduced then I think it's an ok move. Bye Bye boss endurance test. Just consider what the pace of the alert will be once everyone has the T6 gear. It still shouldn't be trigon easy.

Well there goes uniqueness for powers.

bad news for gadgets dps... good news for gadgets trolling.... Napalm and photon ouch.

Fear Gas and Cryofoam changes.

nice

A completely ranged gadgets setup. That is crazy. I gotta check this out. I might dump photon now and run gg and ng for the fact the work off each other.

Consume Objects???

Like seriously! While your messing with power interactions powers can you do a fix to Mental's Mass Levitation please?

Mental's Mass Levitation is currently the only Cast time/AoE power that is also a PI setup, All cast powers that are damage other than Mass Lev, uses a PI, not set one up. Mental really got screwed here during its revamp. So can this be changed into a None-Vulnerable to Interrupt, 50% Damage magnifier move and Maybe add Damage Over Time; have its Animation cast lowered to the 1-1.2 second range to bring it inline with other AoE PI setup powers like Sorcery's Shard Of Life please?

Well isn't that a nice little surprise.

I guess since earth was left out, the fixes for it must be huge. or maybe its because it is the least used power. or maybe the adjustment to jh was the "fix". oh well , all 5 of us earth users will continue to sit quietly in our corner.
