"BookerDewit: Blood Warrior"
Glacial priests got a much needed major DPS buff here, but the removal of mana siphoning sucks. Glacial's were one of the few classes that could effectively counter the "broken" critdef divine priest builds going around, and now that's been nerfed.
@anole300#5837 Mini_Mart is hunting lowbies non-pvp toons interrupt them from doing even dailies, make that ban hammer work since he exploit this issue and PK ppl in PVE server we had enough of him.....
orb that drops from Wrath normaly fly near and around in fight but this bugg makes orb go directly into wars Wrath wich mean they dont have to pick orb or run to orb or even lose Wrath while all onther classes have to pick and run to orbs that pop up on ground around them.
For starters, the changes to the glacial tree. First off: Daaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn. Talk about dps boost. Glacials were already a threat to begin with, since the patch i've encountered a few in pvp that literally have bursted down the tankiest of toons, even the weaker ones can keep someone perma cc'd more than before. The fact that the dyos tree got massively reworked, as well as taking the siphoning from holy prayer: enigma is a bit... uh... much in my opinion. However I can see where there's a trade off: Take away 1 utility and 1 annoying mana drain, but in return, give them a needed dps boost, and even MORE cc.
End game wind mages got buffed, again. Lul.
Vengeance is FINALLY not as mind numbing as before, so newer players will be able to get vengeance accessories quicker than ever before.
Armor and Weapon smithing is a note worthy job again.
Beehive is super useful.
Extra mastery/resistance points per 10 level up to 80 helps massively. The rewards returning to every 10th floor of HRD makes it insanely worth doing again.
HR6 Gear is a thing now.
And Wardens are OP af. Nerf wagon to follow next patch~
Inheritors give the opportunity for veteran, some newer, players to start anew. Granted I wish 12/12'ing gear was easier again. I mean, we can appreciate the gesture of allowing all these new additions too make players "ascend" to newer heights with their toons, however it's a bit hard to push forward if the one thing hindering them is the fortifications to their gear.
I do believe there should more ways to get soul gold, tbh. At the moment, just from dailies alone, one can get about 6-7sd per day, but it's harder to manage and has far too many uses come late game when you're dealing with synergies, as well as light/dark awakening skills, which keep in mind, COST 10SD EACH POINT.
But that's enough of my banter~
i can't even use the new treasure maps

-The basic skill Frenzy Stance no longer lowers Evasion.
-The talent Frenzy Outbreak no longer reduces the reduction of Evasion, while still reducing the reduction of Defense....all i wanna know why are warriors the only ones who get reduction on skills? Other class who have stance like skills get 3 4 benifits from it with a 0.1% penalty on the caster. Correcting my self why are warriors the only ones who lose stats. If u look at protecters Aura they get crazy resistence and accuracy and evasion and crit dodge at the cost of 0.5% mana oh but wait they can get a boost of 20% mana while they have an arua active so that 0.5% mana drain every 5 second is there for what? Shouldnt it be the other way around lose 10 or 20%mana every 3seconds fair? I mean mages must hate knowing 2skills can eat 75% of mana for a shield and a bit of mastery n resis and mana is every thing to a mage, Hate how all say warriors have most damage. Well shoot besides dealing damage what u want them to do look pretty and sip on ice tea? We are warriors we supose to hit the hardest, every class has a job to do priest heal protecters protect assassins be sneaky and one shot all with easy crit chance and crit damage boosts, bards play nice music to speed us up or heal us and they do it all while in the safty of that monster bubble, mages kill every annoying pasks who are after the tank, mm,s suppose to watch our backs from a distence and head shot all, vamps suppose to drain blood, was a perfect set up for a great game if they could of balance it way better but they had to go and bring in reapers with that (get over here) pull then tormanters with that 50meter range not even funny, And now wardens with every hit stealing your mastery and resistens n not just nibbling on it but taking a big oh chunk out of it. My ward has lvl0resistence (25 basic resistence) but as a moon eater 2 or 3 hits and i get around 200resistence and mastery while leaving the poor soul bone dry of mast n resis.and is it normal for to open close to 3k relic spirit mark (not all at once since they have come out) and not get 1 mark with a crit chance, i mean i know my luck is very bad in games but come on. I could drown fw in crit dodge or my most commen 1 elemental def or attack lol. Sorry for long post
DPS - 130K+ HP and have beaten at least HRD20 (Need at least 12 of such)
Heals - 130K+ HP and with 4K+ HE (Need at least 3, maybe 4)
Tanks - Any aggro/taunt based tank with 170K+ HP (Need at least 1, 2 if you don't a strong dps aggro puller)
We asked for that and got 1st in server title for NM.
Raising DPS requirement to passing (not at but beating it) HRD40, and +10K HP for all, also got us 1st in server for HM
Note that these specs are probably more than what is needed, but hey, they worked for us. We had about 6 different guilds in our team.
