In this Update
This update includes a potential fix for the issue that has been causing zones to crash during Week 6 testing. In addition, the update also includes some fixes and adjustments for class abilities and mastery.
Level Cap
The level cap for Week 6 will remain at level 20. Trainer NPCs for class abilities are available in all starting areas and in the village of Demith.
Week 6 Testing Focus
- Combat testing for levels 1-20
- Mastery User Interface
- Mastery options for Warrior, Paladin, and Dire Lord
- Solo and Group adventuring gameplay throughout the game.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed several issues that were contributing to server instability and could lead to zone crashes.
Classes
Dire Lord
- Rank 2 and higher of the Corrupt Blood ability will now apply the appropriate damage over time effect.
- The Mutilation Art I and II masteries should now properly impact outgoing damage by 5% and 10% respectively.
- The descriptions for the ability empowerment nodes in the center of the Dire Lord mastery array now accurately represent the abilities that they modify. Please note that the effects of these nodes will not be active until further tuning adjustments are made to those ability lines.
- Tormenting Phantoms should now display properly in the Codex after being unlocked.
Paladin
- Blessed Flame should now properly boost healing by 1% per stack (or 2% with Improved Blessed Flame).
- Hallowed Flame should now show as castable if the player has the Blessed flame buff active. Please note that this ability still requires 3 stacks of Blessed Flame in order to cast successfully and the cast will abort if an insufficient number of stacks are present at the time of casting.
- Hastened Verdict should now properly grant its benefits.
- Oath of Wrath and Oath of Valor should now properly trigger the Fervent Strike ability.
- The additional threat component of Wrathful Aegis has been temporarily disabled to address a server stability issue. This component will be re-enabled in a future update.
Shaman
- Bane of Venom II will now cost mana to cast, similar to other ranks of the ability. The coupons that were making this spell free expired last week.
- Higher ranks of Rushing Waters will now automatically upgrade lower rank versions on the hotbar when the new spell is learned.
- In preparation for introducing Shaman mastery, the “Fang” line of shaman abilities has been renamed to Omen of Fangs with appropriate rank designations.
- In preparation for introducing Shaman mastery, the “Grip” line of shaman abilities has been renamed to Grip of Stone with appropriate rank designations.
- The first rank of Mark of the Fireclaw has been moved to level 8.
Warrior
- Rupture should now show the correct information for its applied bleed effect in the ability description.
- Furious Howl should now grant the correct amount of haste to the Warrior when used.
Itemization
- Updated several low level items to use more appropriate visual models when equipped.
- Additional tuning updates to low level weapon and armor items.
- Cleaned up some item descriptions and icons.
Mastery
- Significantly optimized the server response time for unlocking nodes.
- Fixed the mastery refund option silently failing to refund player mastery unlocks.
- Fixed an issue that was causing players to gain more mastery points than intended.
- NOTE: The Mastery system as well as the Class Mastery trees will continue to receive updates as refinements are made and additional functionality is brought online. Additional classes will be enabled in future updates.
User Interface
- A confirmation dialog will now be displayed when looting a No Trade item.
- A confirmation dialog will now be displayed when attempting to equip a Bind on Equip item.
