Classes and Balance
- Hunter Ranger (Preview Only)
- Binding Arrow: The secondary shot from this power should work properly again, instead of not firing if you are too far from the primary target.
- Binding Arrow: Will properly applied Thorned ROots again, instead of only applying Strong Grasping Roots when you have the Thorned Roots Feat.
- Commanding Shot: Reverted the changes to the debuff effect and duration, and fixed bugs with its application, leading to the following patch note:
- Forest Meditation: Can once again be cancelled via the Shift power.
- Hawk Shot: This power should now work better when targeting on angled ground. Note that, when trying to hit multiple targets on angled ground, aiming for the target that is further from you will help the power draw a better line.

Recharge time now starts as soon as you cast it instead of when the effect ends, and has been reduced to 10s, down from 15s. You may only have 1 Pillar of Power active at a time, so recasting it while it is still active will move it to your current location. The effects of the Pillar have changed, as well. In addition to increasing your damage, it now also grants you damage resistance while you stand within it. The Pillar no longer builds up and explodes when an enemy enters it. Instead, it lowers the enemies damage and damage resistance, and deals damage to them.

I have a question about the new Stronghold Siege event though. Does this mean you need to start and finish the siege match while the event is active or by simply starting the siege match while the event is active but the event ends before your siege match does are you eligible for the increased rewards? #rd scenario is if you started the match before the event started but finish inside the event time.Because siege can take a while sometimes, and all the above scenarios will happen.
We are searching for slave labor, will pay with food from our farm!
Also, the event should be phrased something like, "Finish a Stronghold match while this event is active."

Oh the Carnage
It makes me reeeaaaally curious to see how many more of these we may see in the future when the other classes get balanced.
Perhaps the new way that steel blitz works or commander's strike will be like this, but in the past neither of them has done large amounts of damage so i doubt it

Hidden Daggers, please FIX it
Dead🔪Please do little smoothly encaunter ARMS OF HADAR,because when use this power,his little stuck in final,and change corner,not from left side,but normal in front.
And about daily Tyrannical Curse,please do fastest using this daily,because when start use this daily,we lost 2-3 second.
Could you possibly do this with the artifact gear as well? instead of having to look at 2 different pages for the main hand and off hand looking at just 1 page to see the whole set would be so much nicer.
The same goes for view the artifact belts/necks. combining those would be good, and also help players understand that those items just might possibly be good when worn together. To that end you can also add in the artifact so they can see what a complete artifact set would look like stat wise instead of looking in 3 places (and add the belt+neck to the artifact page as well please)

@panderus
It would be nice to be able to rearrange the selection list to place favorite characters at the top.
Any update on this matter.
Dead🔪Guild Stronghold Boons: please move it on the top of the "Boons" UI.
Dead🔪And please fix the quest in IWP where you need to give the moot to the giant. The giant is not there most of the time.
Not sure how to read it.

1). Is SW more dps or tank based?
2). Yes. I am panzer!
3). Get ACT if you want to celebrate your epeen.
4). Horniness will not stand between me and what I believe - "MM"
They were either triggered by adding more things like insignias/mount powers/boons or whatever things that might "made them work", or suddenly started to work as intended and had to be turned off again...
On the flip side it's good that they're now tracked down and removed, that's a good thing to see.
Balancing is not only nerfing whatever community states as OP. It's also taking a closer look on the code (which is very time consuming of course) and tracking down those things that messes up the game.
I like to see more of these kind of changes going forward
And to finalize...bank slots? yay!

5-19% damage bonus came from it depending on the AP meter, the new way gives you 3x5% if you can push those stacks up with at-wills.
HellBringer has no real AOE at-will, so placing the 3 stacks on anything other than bosses won't work, things die faster than that.
That means you simply took away the HellBringer's only power to compete with the SoulBinder's spark based damage bonus.
You increased Harrow Storm and Fiery Bolt damage -sure it is a nice thing, but as multiplicative - you only made the gap between the paragons even bigger.
Sounds brain-dead to me.
Any of my comments not posted in orange are based on my own personal opinion and not official.
Any messages written in orange are official moderation messages. Signature images are now fixed!
And while you're at it I would like to see a feature that will enable us to choose in which slot's we're putting the items with left clicking.
I mean at the moment we're only able to do it while placing items in our personal bank.
Shared one need to be manually dragged and dropped which is a pain in the rear.
These should be really implemented from the start....
