    Which slot is it in? I mean if it in song/short window it vanishes when u zone. So no need.
  2. Vividor Elder

    Could I know what's the reason to nerf ranger dps again?

    Scout's masteries have been working like this for years and everything was ok.

    Suddenly, you have found something that justify to remove this benefit from weapon procs and I'd like know what it is.

    Thank you

  3. High Voltage Augur

    What's the reason to remove the 'self only' levitation AA? Can't see how this makes the game any better. Maybe this was used for some kind of exploit?

    I hope at one time you will add some feedback when toogling. This is the same deal like Spell Casting Subtlety - I get a message when I enable it, but disabling has none. So you can never be sure if it was successfully disabled (e.g. by using a hotbutton), or you misclicked.

    I can live with even more enchanter nerfs. Just keep 'em coming. No need to fix the knockback spells or the stun proc's.

    It's weird that so much effort is put into making a 20 year old game less fun. There is no need to mess with abilities like Reluctant Benevolence. It was already nerfed years ago so that group members can't proc it.
  5. Skalde Elder

    - Bard - Rallying Call now consumes 75% of the mana and endurance restored by this ability, the reuse time for this ability has been increased to 10 minutes, and the target requirements have been adjusted so that melee classes must be below 30% endurance and classes that use mana must be below 30% mana rather than any class being below 30% of either.




    Why? Rallying call is already pretty damn useless to other people because the returned mana and endurance isn't instant, it's over the period of 30 seconds they don't attack. Also how are bards going to get mana back? We have no mana regaining abilities other than rallying call and it isn't even alot as it is so you better make paragon, enchanter crack, etc work for bard mana regen otherwise this change is complete .

    Druids dodging dot nerfs once more but shammy gets hammered again seems fair and balanced #druidmasterclass
  7. Sindaiann Augur

    Looks like the warrior ae harmonious got nerfed but not single target. Not sure the purpose on that unless they see that warrior should retain it.

    SK and Warrior should of got nerfed with paladin one boosted because yall had a crap harmonious to begin with + the stun is garbage (minus grp content).

    Also curious as to why SK and Paladin had counters reduced from 48 to 40 but warrior counters on precision stayed at 48....

    Not used to being on Test, but I'd like to see the DPS change for monks from the 'simplification'. Are there any common areas with combat dummies, or do I need to find a guild hall that has a set? Wouldn't mind running a few parse tests on Test vs. Live.
  9. Sindaiann Augur

    Agree with what Gotwar expressed above. Would make sense to lower the recast of Beam of Slumber since you have removed Scintillating Beam. Scintillating was a nice utility while Slumber was down.

    However I really like that Somnolence is added to Beam. That part is badas*

    Thanks! Never bothered much with the plots, aside from dropping trophies on a yard for trib. Didn't even occur to me to go this route.
  13. Gialana Augur

    Does this mean a cleric can no longer use both? I'm not online to see what the current ranks of Turn Undead are. If 34 won't be the final rank and a cleric can't have the hotkeys for both, then it seems the AA line will become nearly useless in group content if the cleric accidentally buys rank 35. Given the aggro nerfs in this patch, casting Turn Undead will make the cleric tank the mob if the mob can't be rooted or if it summons

    The removed ranks 2-14 were not refunded, just removed. Are we getting back all those spent AAs?

    Love the addition to the /pick system!

    Questions...
    1. Will there be any indicator for the group leader that someone in the group can't pick at this time?
    2. Will there be an option to pick group over with out anybody that has a pick timer? Ex. 4 out of the 6 group members have no pick timer and can pick, but 2 have a timer. Will the group leader be able to pick the 4 group members over anyway?
    Any chance we can have any of the following in the future...
    1. /pick debuff added to the buff window with count down timer? Maybe put it in the song window, so it doesn't take up a buff slot.
    2. Ability to see if we have a corpse in any of the picks and which ones. Maybe added to the /pick window.
    3. Ability for necromancers and shadowknights to use summon corpse across picks
  16. kthehammy Elder

    We would need to get on test to be sure, but the way i read this is Turn undead is Turn Undead for ranks 1-29, and at ranks 30-34 it becomes Smite the Wicked instead.

    Which is a nerf, they are removing the ability the use them both.
