Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.82g Release Notes
Class Changes and Cross Cluster Guilds and Alliances
February 9, 2006

===================================


NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- The delve information for Testudo, when delved on Gaheris, has been changed so that it does not denote that it works on realm enemies. However, on all other servers, it still denotes that it does indeed work only on realm enemies.

- Spells or styles, including bleeds, slows, hinders and stuns, now properly display the effect inflicted in delves.

- There is a new inventory icon for TOA Artifact Cloaks.

- Based on feedback from our players and team leads, the number of kills necessary in order to earn titles for the Realm dragons, Legion of Darkness Falls, and Shrouded Isles epic monsters has been standardized and reduced.

- (Pendragon Only) Fixed issues with the new Legion player titles.

- (Pendragon Only) Fixed a bug relating to the use of certain backup combat styles in certain situations.

Oli - Illu

 

[Righthandof]

just some bug fixes, nothing tbh.

 

[Void959]

- Wardens can now get Mastery of Blocking as a Realm Ability.

I wouldn't mind getting that 'bug fix' tbh

 

[eggy]

Friar

- The Fatigue Cost Reduction spells, Saint's Energy, Saint's Stamina, Saint's Persistence and Saint's Tenacity, are now group buffs.

Nice

And moving hasteners \o/

 

[Righthandof]

- Wardens can now get Mastery of Blocking as a Realm Ability.

I wouldn't mind getting that 'bug fix' tbh

afaik everyone who can spec in shield skill has access to mastery of blocking.. wardens got shield skill, they got the ra.

 

[Chimaira]

Well with this new friar change paladin is even more less needed ;p

THE QUEST FOR WORLD DOMINATION IS NIGH!

THE QUEST FOR WORLD DOMINATION IS NIGH!

Is that an extremist friar?

[Righthandof]

Well with this new friar change paladin is even more less needed ;p

yeah 25% fatigue reduction makes end regen 5 unuseful at all.

1050 af with end 5 + 2*150 heals(double triple heal chant) >> leather armor and 20% extra fatigue + single heals(if you look carefully at the new heal procs on friar staff you can notice that you wont see it ever in rvr.. the nice ones are evade opening and 3rd in chain etc..good for pve tho)

well, we could argue about this but the thing is, neither is OP to the other, both have advantages.

 

[Matriarch|Sneakers]

Well with this new friar change paladin is even more less needed ;p

Yah would be nice if mythic instead of making new expansions would deticate all thier money and time to make a game that isn't fucked up balance wise on so many areas.

With DR casters damage was reduced by 10% but that affected LWs, mezz and other minor things that didn't need to get nerfed, obvious that mythic know that if they went out officially and nerfed casters damage with 10-20% they been hung.

Amazing how that company after 4.5 years really got no clue what so ever.

 

[eggy]

Is that an extremist friar?

rep hunter deluxe eggy

I was going to post a picture of a certain radical extremist in the news recently...

But I thought it would be in bad taste

[Aoln]

when are you ever going to stfu about thanes?

theyre a lot better than many classes after boosts

 

[Righthandof]

would you mind naming at least 1 ?

 

[Naffets]

Friar

- The Fatigue Cost Reduction spells, Saint's Energy, Saint's Stamina, Saint's Persistence and Saint's Tenacity, are now group buffs.

Needed for alb groups tbh, quite a nice change really

 

[Straef]

yeah 25% fatigue reduction makes end regen 5 unuseful at all.

1050 af with end 5 + 2*150 heals(double triple heal chant) >> leather armor and 20% extra fatigue + single heals(if you look carefully at the new heal procs on friar staff you can notice that you wont see it ever in rvr.. the nice ones are evade opening and 3rd in chain etc..good for pve tho)

well, we could argue about this but the thing is, neither is OP to the other, both have advantages.

I'd like to see you twist all the time while BG'ing/grappling/slamming etc. I, for one, and I thought I wasn't the only one, usually just stick to end chant in fg rvr, and without actually running purple af chant you won't make 1050 af, 900-950 would be closer, tho obviously still high, and heal chan't won't be used, and even if used, it's of little effect on someone getting assisted or nuked for 500 dmg/second.

i twist heal, resists and end while doing the above mentioned too(not slamming tho - it just gives the banelord tanks stun immunity so they can spam ml6(?)).. even with cleric spec af i got 980 fyi. sure, 300 heal / 8 sec aint gonna save anyone against a warlock, but handy against ae dds or ae dots, or bainshee ae cons..

i find that if you have hard time finding groups, you'll do your best and press 20 buttons/sec if needed.

 

[Andrilyn]

would you mind naming at least 1 ?

Necromancers, Valkyries, Heretics (arguable), Valewalkers.
But then again you should say what you define as 'better', More damage, More utility, More chance to be grouped? it's all subjective.

 

[Haggus]

Arethir roll a friar >.<

 

[BlackrazoR]

Thane > WL. Especially 1vs1 or Keeptakes. .

 

[kirennia]

would you mind naming at least 1 ?

Valkyries

 

[Pirkel]

when are you ever going to stfu about thanes?

 

[Heta]

lol why? that's just ridiculous!:eek2:

cause they looked like crap and you had a hard time sitting on your chair from laughing so hard after seeing the new models?

 

[xxManiacxx]

would you mind naming at least 1 ?

Valkyries?
Necromancers?
Valewalkers?

Ppl should stfu about thanes now tbh. They got good MLs, good RAs and good abilities.

 

[Ckiller]

Pallys r dead for groupin after that patch.. GJ mythic

 

[eggy]

Tanks will still need regen pots to play with a friar in the group, so it won't make that much difference tbh.

 

[Konah]

friar change is nice, means alb grps running no pally can have ~red end with a std pot. pally needs 2k radius end chant now...

 

[eggy]

friar change is nice, means alb grps running no pally can have ~red end with a std pot.

Well, not really red end. Sprinting will still make endurance go down (especially if people haven't specced in LW), but will be compensated by end used for styles I guess.

I spec LW2 as there's fook all decent paladins around.

 

[WiZe^]

*rolls a friar on classic*
