- Armsmen will now receive a parry reactionary version of the Thrust style, Ratfang.



does this mean we'll finally get first spot on RvR groups again?

Lots of good stuff, I had forgotten what DF looks like for a start, and 5 hunters can take a tower a doddle :)

The artifact and scroll drop increases are going to wipe the smile off all the farmers, campers and rip off merchants who charge a fortune, great news.

All looks good to me.

Presumably the patch could be introduced in Europe but with the clustering bits disabled? simply not doing anything? I mean I assume they are going to introduce the patch - it has new hair styles after all - and I can't see them taking the clustering bits out so ...what's the plan.

Ref. Pally changes - if there are 2 or more pallies in a group get one of them to leave end on all the time. It usually took my pally several minutes to get the idea through but it makes things much easier. Less pressing buttons to twist = more time to style, redo guard etc. When the pally running the end chant starts to get low on power pally 2 takes over and just does end etc.

Like I say I did it because it gave people more time to concentrate on other things. With this change I think it could become a standard requirement.

we'll get the patch, just they might not switch on clustering - I doubt it'll be switched on for some of the US servers anyway (Merlin, Guinevere etc.)

I really wouldn't worry about this Pally change. It won't be around for long.

We'll have to wait and see what Mythic/GOA will consider a low population before they start clustering.

Prydwen currently has about 1200 players at peak time, with Excalibur at about 1750. Cluster these servers together and there would be plenty of RvR action with a total cluster population of about 3000. Just remember with WoW coming out soon the population will drop.

I'd rather be on a server cluster of 3000 than a single server with just 1200 people.

Have laughed IRL about this reply when a mid whined about Mythic's Albion loving:

"You have Warlocks. Shut your pie hole."

ohh i really hope so :) even as it might not be a big nerf but still... i love my pally the way it is. hoping they would never nerf my underpowerd melee char ( in damage :p ) !

The only nerf possible for pala damage would result in higher damage :p

Nowt wrong with Pally damage, they are comparable in terms of output to armsmen thanks to our chants and they provide a great deal more utility to the group. Yeah, mercs do more damage and S/S Reavers do more damage than S/S Pallies, but nothing terribly drastic in terms of what we can do to the enemies.

Besides, if you want to do damage, go 2-H. If you have Bodyguard, you can still perform the defence role very effectively, but you can also cut opponents down to size very quickly. 600+ damage on a crit shot from a 2-H style to an enemy caster or healer is not to be sniffed at. Paladin damage is underrated to the point of being myth that simply isn't true.

They don't stack, but they don't override either. You will be healed for 8x50 instead of 1x400 :)

I love their quest names: "Half ogre - all man" "Beauty and the 'Bolg" and "Troll, Dark and Handsome" all ace :D

the rewards for these quests (which involve a lot of running in and out of the capital.. but are quite a fun story) are basically a 'magic 8 ball' - you ask it a question, then /use, /use2 or /interact with it to find the result.
just completed the 'gnome away from home' quest which gives a pretty decent (for lvl 30 quest) bracer.

i suppose, if anything, the only thing vales need is a self-af buff with a crazy delves like the heretics to increase their af and abs vs bolts and melee
