1.69 Out Tomorrow

[Tootz]

You can grab the release notes here

Some highlights:

• Dragonfang now has a 5s stun - grats all you whining SB's hehe (Infs get a free single respec due to this)
• Area Effect Buffs for Clerics/Shamans/Druids
• Buff Shearing for Clerics/Shamans/Druids
• Focus Shells (ABS shields) for Clerics/Shamans/Druids which can be cast on any realm m8 and act like focus shields (but they absorb damage)
• Sureshot introduced for Archers
• Increased buffs for Rangers/Hunters
• Call of the Hounds ability for Hunters
• Animists reduced to 15 turrets (still seems a lot to me with the HP they have)
• Shade form has been removed and changed to something else - guess we'll have to wait and see what

There are lots more minor changes to artifacts, ml abilities etc, but the ones given above are the major changes as far as I can tell.

 

[Raven]

shade form will be zombie form, it was in one of the videos made by that US merc

 

[Archeon]

I've already decided that i'm going to lurk around Odins and other stealther rich Area's waiting for stealthers to pop each other... at which point i'll run out laughing and buff-rape whatever I can target (and if its a Hib vs Alb all the better)

None shal escape my rapage!!!

leechers beware! adding on fg fights is bad for ur buffage! :touch:

 

[Fenderon]

lime-green dye!

 

[Xplo]

9 sec stun, full debuff except for dex/qui

/pwn

 

[Skaven]

Isn't envenom on xbow bolts introduced on this patch as well?

 

[Coccas]

it was supposed to i think but too many whined so it was removed again... cant see why really

 

[Raven]

Well only about 10% of the infil population actually solo's. Having ranged debuffs, snares etc aswell as, spd insta DDs and mez in the usual warder stealth zerg would have been a bit much.

 

[harebear]

No idea how hard xbow hits from an infi and I know that NS DDs do at least some dmg, but doesnt it seem a little unfair in the ranged area of assasins that SB are stuck with throwing axes which basicly do fuck all?

 

[Aloca]

Albs xbow >> NS magic since toa as they get that permanent damage add charge from a xbow. (work in melee)

 

[Skaven]

ffs, was looking forward to that

 

[Appollo]

Throw Wep

You forgot this change:

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES


General Changes

- We’ve added pet cure mesmerize spells for Necromancers, Bonedancers, and Animists. Necromancers will receive Dead Awakening in their baseline Painworking line. Bonedancers will receive Free Spirits in their baseline Bone Army line. Animists will receive Purifying Rain in their baseline Verdant Path line.

An important one too...

 

[Flimgoblin]

Albs xbow >> NS magic since toa as they get that permanent damage add charge from a xbow. (work in melee)

which is a bug and gets fixed either this patch or the next.

I think having ranged mezz on infiltrators (thanks to ml10) but not on any of the others was deemed a bit unbalancing.

 

[liloe]

Pale Blue!!
Dusky Rose!!
Sage Green!!
Lime Green!!


/wub /wub /wub =)) I think that's the only good change in that patch, together with the item and self buff changes =))


buff shearing is, and it's not often that you hear me say such things, the most utter useless shit junk I've ever seen put in.

Noob1: Need d/q
cast
N1: oh alrdy had it
N2: but I need s/c
N5: gimme base con
N4: I need this...

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm glad I'm a nature druid, I pity all the nurture ones, good luck m8s =))

 

[Yaemon]

Aaaaaaaaand, Battler now in hammer form, w00t w00t!!!!!!
