Feb. 5 Patch Notes

This is a hotfix of the items that were originally meant to be part of GU51, that have been released without the fighter revamp portion of the revamp. The Lavastorm revamp that is in-progress is now being called GU51 instead.

HIGHLIGHTS

A new type of item has been added: HEIRLOOM items are the same as NO-TRADE except that they can be placed into your shared bank. Characters on the same account and server can then pick them up out of the shared bank. Normal shared bank rules apply on PVP servers.

GENERAL

* The spider ability �Sticky Webbing� has changed from a 30 second root to a 3 second daze.
* Merchants in the Village of Shin will now buy as well as sell items.
* It should now be slightly easier to avoid the blood gorgers in the entry passage to Grobb, if you are careful.
* Spotting a business opportunity, a new fuel merchant has recently set up shop in Firmroot Moot near the mender.
* Large attribute values over the base cap will no longer cause your max hitpoints or power to decrease.
* Adornments which add additional damage to a weapon will now correctly report critical attacks.

ACHIEVEMENTS

General

* Bountiful Harvest should no longer display a combined harvest on root and foresting nodes. Instead you should see two messages similar to other nodes.

Assassin

* Frontload will no longer cause poisons to cancel when it is toggled off or expires.

Berserker

* Perseverance is now a buff and works in a similar fashion to Reversal with a hidden spell that can only trigger once every 15 seconds.

Shaman

* Kindred Restoration will now cast properly if the shaman is casting another spell.

DUNGEONS/ENCOUNTERS

Anchor of Bazzul

* Imprisoner Y�nosii�s death now results in his weakened soul spawning. Killing the weakened soul gives a key that will open Y�nosii�s treasure chest.

Cavern of the Afflicted

* A group of zombies near the first Maledictive Terror should no longer continue to respawn.

Evernight Abbey

* Players on the quest A Brother�s Revenge should no longer be able to get a quest update and be asked to turn in Gabardine Obisgnul�s head when they do not have the item.

Halls of the Forsaken

* The mission End of the Forsaken should no longer occasionally have too few forsaken soldiers and conscripts present in the zone.

Nektulos

* The Avatar of Hate should cast crushing hatred more reliably on attackers now.

Palace of the Ancient One

* Tythus can no longer have his Voidslide AOE interrupted.
* The duration of Nether Bolt, the reactive associated with Pentaclypse and Ultaclypse, has been reduced to 1.5 seconds.

Ravenscale Repository

* The two parts of Mission of the Macabre can now be completed in any order, so that Noyle is no longer occasionally already dead once players reach that step.

ITEMS

* Drum of the Ethernaut Chronicler�s proc now functions on both spells and melee attacks.
* Cloak of the Overlord and Cloak of Antonia Bayle now have additional ranged bonuses.

* Paladin�s Zealous Voidbeam 4-piece bonus now adds mitigation instead of Spell and Combat Art damage.
* Silk Robe of Summoning, Aramid Robe of Voidcaller, and Staff of Elemental Mastery no longer function on swarm pets, but should stack with other pet effects better than they did previously.
* The 5-piece bonus on the Conjuror and Necromancer raid sets has been improved slightly.
* Razhish�s Cloak of Flowing Power has a new proc.
* The effect on Ferhustr's Furious Rolling-Pin should now add 20% to heals and runes.
* Overloaded heal procs will now trigger properly from reactives and wards
* Unholy Rift 4 piece bonus to Tenacity should now have a 35m range.
* The Neutral Avatar 2 piece charm bonus will now work correctly.
