I think Mythic (i know Mythic doesn't exist anymore but that's what i call them), is going in the right direction. Animist and Thane love, nigthshade nerf, well I assume its a nerf but I don't know what the delves on the DD were before this.

I'm curious to know if the pbae spell in Verdant spec will still channel through the moving pet. I certainly hope so, this could be loads of fun in the right scenario, but probably will just have an effect on the PvE side. Wouldn't it be just too funny to see 12-13 Verdant pets chasing 150 albs into a corner and bombing them? Well if enemies die in large numbers to these pets then they'd have to be pretty stupid anyways.

Well depending on how these moveable pets work, it could be a nice addition to the class. But I feel they will still need something a little more solid to make them a useful class. Their strength is supposed to lie in their multiple pets but these have no use real use outside of camping in a keep/tower/bridge. They should have a faster way to drop turrets on the ground. IMO the casting of turret spells should be reduced to about 2 seconds, but perhaps with a 4 second re-cast timer, or something like this.

Btw what does everybody think about the ranger change? 35% evade could be pretty significant don't you think?

Happy for reaver's, I can hardly remember the last time I saw a reaver.

And for the Thane's out there, what do you think about the style changes? Clearly 10% resist pierce is excellent, and putting hammer on a better weapon table is nice too, but will this force all Thanes to respec to Hammer? As I understand Axe is the primary spec for Thane's right now isn't it? So then, are these melee changes an improvement to Thanes all around, or does it just make a previously useless weapon line a little more reasonable?

Also, what purpose does confuse have in RvR other than for Thuergist pets? I've almost never used them on Thuerg pets, but can someone explain how it works? Is the "chance that target will attack an ally" the same as the chances of the confuse spell destroying the Thuerg pet?

Am I correct that Enchanters now have 2000 more hit points at the beginning of a battle?

This is great news for bombing zergs

Reavers did NOT need charge

Ranger love is LOOOONG overdue however it's still not good enough imo. 7min RuT blows especially when the other realm arch types don't have to rely on a 7 minute time for a form of defense.

At best a hunter has 2 minutes for a new pet...

Increase hunter pet to 5 minutes or lower the ranger buff to less than 5 minutes imo~

BM boost is pointless

Other than that alot of the changes are pretty solid and I couldn't complain

I don't even mind the NS nerf

Oh and with that chanter boost it won't be long before ppl start crying they're 50+ zerg is gettin rolled by 1 bomb group and mass appeals get them nerfed back down again


Game caters to the mass cry babies more than it caters to balance unfortunatley~

Confuse on standard(non-FnF) pets is only effective when the pet is in defensive mode iirc. It makes the pet attack at random on whatever target comes nears, be it friendly or not. Giving an attack command basically makes them immune.

Good buff to confusion spells, though it's a bit unfortunate that bards can't get the full benefit of it(last dex breakpoint being 392), mobile animist pets were really required. Too badt the better ones are in specs which are basically non-viable rvr-wise though the arb one is decent enough, nice thane buffs too.

Rest is mostly fluff, except for the nerf to the zo'arkat /use2 which might be a good improvement. They say it goes from 25 to 15% but any tank knows that the actual delve is closer to 50% than 25, and 15%*2 is still a lot.
Reavers with charge won't change much, if anything the free charge3 RR5 given to skalds will have a higher impact.

I'm curious about the potential extension of the thane love. If the hybrid nature of thanes and heretics justifies piercing, what reason is there not to give the same to nature druid/smiters/VWs?

Chanters are now OP? BM can still cry.


Other than that, nothing too imbalanced imo. I just hope that they'll keep nerfing mages, tehehehehe

nah i don't agree with your last statement Arc. Druids and Smiters are not hybrids in the same way that Thanes are. Thanes are a dps class, all around, from range or close up.

VW's are much more viable in melee and rely less on their spells. Thane's can actually be pretty effective as casters, and have an entire specline dedicated to casting DD spells, so the 10% pierce should make a difference. VW's spec Arb mostly for the absorb anyways. If VW's are to see improvements then it should be in other area's IMO.
