Some NPCs were unable to cast Area Effect spells and other innate
abilities. This would have caused many of the recently retuned NPCs to
be considerably easier than intended.
Updated the range on the Magician spell Rod of Mystical
Transvergence.
Rods of Transvergence and Modulation Rods can no longer be used by
those who do not have enough maximum hit points to survive the mana
conversion. Please note: That is MAXIMUM hit points! It is still
possible for appropriate level characters to rod themselves to death.
Barbarian Beastlords will once again return to summoning their own
dogs. Not someone else's. If you were summoning a dog that didn't
appear familiar, please do not worry. Your own dog has returned. He
missed you. Please feed him.
Altered the stacking for the Shaman spell Voice of the Berserker to
match the other spells in its line.
Aura of White Petals has been updated to have its strength as it was
prior to its stacking changes.
In the original patch yesterday morning, /SHIELD was added as an
innate ability that all Warriors now gain at level 35. Warriors may now
choose to take a portion of melee damage that is intended for another.
Warriors, please type /SHIELD for a full description of this ability.
You may find that it assists you greatly in your groups.
Correspondingly, NPCs and Pets over level 30 who are Warriors were
granted this ability as well. Certain NPCs and Pets may choose to
protect beings that they have an affinity for, if they believe that it
will benefit the shielded being. For now, however, there is not yet a
way to manually cause or prevent this behavior in pets.
