Best patch notes in several years. Now just fix legendary bows / pathfinding / archer ras / viper % dmg increase progression / purgable time immune to poisons / fix summoner hall items stats/procs & release Origins and this game will have EASILY TWICE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE...EASSSSILY.

Keep up the good work and try not to completely crash the game for a month when you release this patch. It looks very good on paper...just like the
Summoner's Hall Re-Vamp, but I guess you know how much of a half-ass job I thought that was...

I have to add to this, so true about hib.
Whenever I see someone qq about hib stun casters it makes me laugh. Thats about all hib really has right now. Screw stun, lifetap wins the fight, not a purgable stun. Midgard has the best classes right now, warlock I dont know what to call it but double damage casts really can hurt, and Im not even counting in the chambers. 2h ability for all midgard melee makes them hit hard....I seen near 800 PAs in molv from a 2h SB.
And alb extend groups...hate them.

Hib needs love for true. They have turned into midgard after LA nerf.... nonexistent. Having no relics, and half of hibland is blue and red.

Now the only thing I see might cause a red flag for someone to bitch is the buffbot nerf.

O o o, and that theres no BD pet fix in this patch. You know the one Im talking about. The ones that let pets go into keeps and annoy you.

Not to complain here, as no one could ever complain about this type of a patch.

But.. they nerfed Bards in order to improve Wardens. I really like being able to heal decently on my Bard, I didn't think a Bard nerf would be required to give Wardens a Greater Heal.

Ok so Bainshee bolt is back up to 1875 range with falloff damage. Well, IMO this spell can still be very powerful, and probably too powerful, so they might just have to nerf it back down to 1000 again. Not that Bainshee's need a nerf though, I think this spell should have been nerfed but then Bainshee's given some other good improvements in return.

However, I've noticed that only recently, people have been posting feedback requests threads on the class boards, so I'm assuming that many class balance changes are still being discussed and should come soon.

I'm curious about Mentalists. Of course having the charm be insta and last 11 seconds, you would think comes as an improvement to Mentalists, but if it kills our ability to quickly demez ourselves, then that ruins one of the best things about the class. I'll need to do some testing of course. Random thought... since Mentalists are (I think) the only pet class without access to Convoker, would it be unreasonable to add something similar to a Convoker ML9 to high level light spec? I don't think the idea is too crazy, considering all the other pet classes can use ML9.

oh and I was curious about the statement "due to the changes in baseline buffs, xxx class has been given a forced respec".

Ok, well if a forced respec is the only way for the system to update to the new buff changes, then no problems. But if its not necessary, well i'd just like to say I really don't like forced respecs, setting up Qbars can be a very big PITA.

save your qbinds now to make sure you don't have to do that :]

As long as a Menty can charm a Red pet they will not have access to Convoker. Plain and simple. Hib is the only realm that does not have the capability to ML9 a lvl 50 pet however.

Edit: Sure wish Mythic would do something with the Enchanter's RR5 ability. It is so completely uselss it's not even on my Qbar anymore. The damage add spell in Enchantments should have been moved to baseline as well. I'm not going to complain too much about Enchanter changes, I think it is long over due. The addition of root is most welcome. Just a few more changes needed as I mentioned.

Where is Mastery of Magery for archers?
