    ANNOUNCE NEWS #4223                                     (10/11/2014 at 14:03)  
    From   : Tecton, the Terraformer
    To     : Everyone
    Subject: October 2014 Classlead Changes - Part IV
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    We're getting to the end of our CLASSLEAD reports, with this penultimate batch of changes! As always,
     here's all of the details:

    Crystalism
    ----------
    * PLAGUE vibration now has an extended duration.

    Curses
    ------
    * SWIFTCURSE has been tweaked some more. You can now use it in conjunction with regular curses, by 
    using the SWIFTCURSE command instead of CURSE. Curses cast with the CURSE command will not be 
    affected by, or use up charges of SWIFTCURSE.
    * BLIGHTed curses can no longer be SWIFTCURSEd.

    Devotion
    --------
    * PEACE has had its equilibrium cost increased.
    * DELIVER now has a lower devotion energy cost and a higher equilibrium cost.
    * TRUTH will now strip the hidden defence in addition to its previous effects.
    * BLOODSWORN's sipping bonus has been increased.
    * BLOODSWORN will now reduce the partner's health by 50% if the other dies, instead of a flat 100 
    health.

    Domination
    ----------
    * CADMUS' (Humbug) affliction pool has been tweaked. Epilepsy has been replaced with agoraphobia.
    * Multiple entities can be summoned with a single SUMMON command now. The balance cost scales based 
    on the number of minions recalled.
    * NIN'KHARSAG (Slime) has had its effects reworked. It will now extend the next tree balance on the 
    target. This new power will cause the entities ties to the mortal realms to be severed.
    * RIXIL's weakened mind affliction will now fade automatically after not being cured for 1 minute.

    Elementalism
    ------------
    * STAFFCAST's willpower cost has been reduced.
    * RING has had its equilibrium cost reduced.
    * THORNREND's health and limb damage are now lessened on VINEWREATHE'd targets.
    * ERODE will now strip denizen shields.

    Harmonics
    ---------
    * POES can no longer fail.
    * MINUET no longer requires the listener to be undeaf.

    Pranks
    ------
    * Balloons will now pop following any rapid change in elevation.

    Seafaring
    ---------
    * ANTICIPATE is now at rank 3 in the WATCH specialisation.

    Swashbuckling
    -------------
    * HEARTSFURY now has an increased chance to retaliate to an attack.
    * MARTELLATO will now additionally pierce the aura of rebounding on prone targets.
    * Several accuracy improvements have been made to HEARTSFURY and RIPOSTE.

    Tarot
    -----
    * SUN tarot will now additionally provide a very short-term curing effect while the caster is in the 
    room.
    * MOON tarot will now afflict with hallucinations instead of anorexia.

    Voicecraft
    ----------
    * SONGBIRDs will now sing their melody with increased frequency.

    Woodlore
    --------
    * NOOSE and SNARE traps now have a slightly longer balance cost to lay.

    Misc.
    -----
    * FLYing (with a Ring of Flying) will no longer have its balance cost affected by traits.

    Looks like sun heals an affliction every 20 seconds for 7~ minutes.

    2 seconds incurred on successful order.

    Oops, looks like the sun wasn't clearing properly in some situations. Sorry, won't be seven minutes anymore!
  • SantarSantar
    What is the timer on it?

    Not sure how I feel about Jester/Occie (Tarot) getting a passive. Occie I can almost understand bc momentum and poor active heals, but Jester? Gross.

    Is there a third party message displayed when Sun cures?  If so, you can still time your prep around that.

    Whats the point of the blight changes?

    The changes to shaman are terrible. They don't in any way address any of the concerns raised in past classleads or forum conversations. They just nerf an already unpopular class and the single artefact related to it.

    Agreed. Way to make us an even worse class than we already were when we used to be a really great hunting and dueling class. I don't understand what all the shaman hate is about, but whatever.
    What doesn't kill you gives you exp.

    You sure...? The two alchemists I've talked to both said it's pretty bugged and impotent against people who get how curing against them works. And in fighting them I have to say I believe it. Are they missing something? I don't know enough about Alchie combat to say one way or the other but their descriptions of how it works or rather how it doesn't seem to indicate just plain broken rather than broken OP.


    Alchie is really OP right now. It was strong before. But atm it's broken.

    Don't make me priest it. :(

  • BukariinBukariin
    Yeah that part confused me too, why did Swiftcurse need a nerf?  Why did Puppetry (but not Vodun) get buffs?

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.


    That is all.

    @Lilian‌

    New willpower cost for staffcast, from my testing, was 18. Although I have an amulet of the will and trans philosophy, so I don't know how much of that affected my testing.
    Im trans philo now (It didn't help before this change), I can't wait to actually try hunting when I get back from canada. Maybe I can actually turn clot back on while I hunt, here is to hoping.

    Don't forget to eat poutine.
  • MazzingtonMazzington Detroit
    Not sure what to make of the change to vine wreathe. Since rends only do half limb damage while your opponent is vinewreathed, it's going to be a lot more difficult to land a heartseed.
  • VaehlVaehl
    Then get the torso within one vinewreathe rend.
  • CynlaelCynlael
    Sylvan didn't get harder with the changes. They just take longer to prep now, if you want to whore vinewreathe lol.

  • MazzingtonMazzington Detroit
    I guess I don't even really use it that often, pretty much only if they parry torso. It's gonna take some practice, though.

    was torc/disrupt ninja nerf intentional or a bug? it wasn't mentioned in the classleads but Priests are saying its definitely nerfed @Makarios

  • DunnDunn
    edited October 2014
    It was a bug. You could do it one way (disrupt/torc) but not the other (torc/disrupt) or vice versa. One was overlooked, iirc.


  • AktillumAktillum Philippines

    Ah, I see. A friend like, just bought a torc a few days ago and was ranting pretty hard about it today (which is understandable, an arte being nerfed a few days after you buy it sucks tremendously, even if it was a bug you didn't know was a bug)

  • TerraTerra
    edited October 2014

    Yeah, it was announced a long time ago that disrupt was unusable with torc.

    Priests found a loophole and abused it (only torc/disrupt had been impossible, not disrupt/torc), and it was fixed.

    Have friend email support.  They are pretty reasonable about this type of thing.  Could get a full refund if it really was just a few days ago. 
  • ErnamErnam

    So Torc, scorpion tail, WoT shouldn't chain with anything right?
  • BluefBluef Delos
    You're right. The people who actually play the class shouldn't get to voice an opinion.
