- Concentration effects that a caster has on himself will no longer go away when they zone or quit.
- Concentration pool should update correctly when you get and lose Rez sickness
Hibernia:
Cuuldurach has been adjusted slightly in an attempt to make encounters last longer.
SPELLS
- Added a base group heal to Hibernian Regrowth line. All Druids/Bards/Wardens should have it now. This gives the healing classes in all 3 realms a base group heal.
Group heal:
15 Group Reparation
25 Group Purification
35 Group Restoration

- Added Cure Poison and Cure Disease to Bard Regrowth spec. This was done to give Hibernia two classes with these abilities like the other realms; previously only the Druid could cure disease and poison.
7 Cure Disease
9 Cure Poison
- Nightshade direct damage should be set to "Skill 0" now, reducing its variance.
- Added a short duration, high attack speed debuff to Enchanter Bedazzling spec to improve the usefulness of the list.

- Increased damage and decreased casting time of the pet focus damage shields for the Spiritmaster (Spirit's Revenge line) and Enchanter (Aura of Echoing line) to bring them in line with the Cabalist focus damage shield.
- Added taunt spell line to Paladin Chant spec and Warden Nurture spec. This spell is intended to alleviate the fact that Paladins and Wardens had no ranged technique to pull with. These spells do damage that accrues on the hate list of their target, but do no actual damage. They are on 8 second timers, and cost no power.

- The Bard Captivate Audience line has had all its spells set to 350 radius to make it consistent with similar spells in other class' lists.
- The standard healing spells (ones with normal cast times, including the standard group heals) have been significantly revised, both to fix some longstanding efficiency problems at higher spec levels, and also to encourage healing classes to heal more in RvR. In general, these revisions affect casting times, range and power costs, not amounts healed. The intent is that this will have the effect of decreasing downtime and increasing effectiveness in RvR, without altering the balance of PvE combat too much. PvE changes are not the intent of these fixes, but some give and take is accepted here. The Cleric/Friar in Albion, Shaman/Healer in Midgard, and the Druid/Bard/Warden/Mentalist in Hibernia are all affected by these changes, and all equivalent spell lines have been adjusted according to the same new baselines.
There was a bug in the Hibernian healing lines due to them using outdated baselines that resulted in some of the Druid/Bard/Warden healing spells to be less effective than equivalent level healing spells in the other realms; this has been corrected with these changes.
The primary change that affects all of these spells is that the efficiencies never go down at higher levels. These means the higher level spells are always going to heal at least the same number of hit points per power point as a spell of lower level. Since efficiencies were previously decreasing, this means that many healing spells have had their power costs reduced, especially higher level spells. This is the primary change to the non-spec heals (which all healers have).
The "third tier" healing spells, a.k.a. "major heals", are the lower heals earned by specializing in healing. These spells have been revised to significantly increase in power efficiency with level. Again, this effectively decreases the power costs of these spells at higher levels, and makes it possible to heal for extended duration in combat.
The "fourth tier" healing spells, a.k.a. "greater heals", have had their costs re-tuned to make sure their efficiency does not decrease. These spells are not as power efficient as third tier heals, however. The new change that should significantly increase the utility of these spells is that the higher level the spell, the lower its casting time will be. The first spells in these lines have had their casting times slightly reduced, and the further a healer specializes, the lower the casting time goes. At the highest levels, the casting time can go below 3 seconds. Since these spells heal the most hit points, the lower casting times should make them much more practical and useful in RvR.
Both group heal lines have had similar tuning so that their efficiencies no longer go down, and their costs have in general decreased to reflect the increased efficiency. The base group heal increases in efficiency now, so the upper levels cost substantially less, while the spec group heal has been changed so that its casting time decreases with spec, and the amount it heals has been increased.
The last change is very significant, and that is that all standard heals have had their ranges increased to 2000, and group heals have a radius of 2000. This is intended to increase healer survivability by allowing them heal from distance, and increasing their availability to resurrect after battle.
- The Cleric Smite line was re-tuned to bring this specific class/skill combination into line with other healers. The primary change was a reduction to the direct damage spells (single target and AE), which were doing the equivalent damage to a nuker direct damage spells. This was inappropriate due to offensive and defensive melee capabilities of the Cleric. The Heavenly Strike line (AE DD) now has had its radius increased to 350 at all levels, however. ---- YAY

- Added insta-cast root to Druid Nature spec; these are all on the same 10 minute timer. All Druid roots have been set to "no recast", however. This was done to alleviate Hibernia's lack of instant-cast crowd control.
