Aww. That's going to make me sad.
I foresee this as being not particularly popular amongst some of the population. (as posted above it would seem)

It has actually been like that for some time now, it is just named to be more clear now.
Are you serious? I already think that i'm kicking my dog's *** when i hear the sound of a dying wolf and now you add this?
Yea, there are a few fixes that were made on live that this build has not yet picked up yet. It is on my list to get them in.

Don't you? I know you do, go on just put it in there. You really want too.
Sadly but i have to agree with this. The rest is good, some good changes overall.
Aww, I agree with rapticor - that's going to make me sad too.
I don't even want to know what game breaking bugs there are in other specialties like foundry and what not. But all I know is that Alchemy is completely ruined and you're just really good at ignoring it.
In case you aren't even aware of it: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?365422-Gateway-Alchemy-Bug
My girlfriend used her free respec token to spec out of Healing Action because it no longer worked with Astral Shield. Now that the skills have changed again, will we be getting another free respec?
Feast of the Moon | Rising of the Dark | Shadow of the World | Everdark
Nope we won't
That would be a shame. She is already raging pretty hard at the game as it is...
Feast of the Moon | Rising of the Dark | Shadow of the World | Everdark
Astral shield should be regeneration and not heal over time. So it should still not work.
I though they specifically changed it to be HoT rather than regeneration?
Yep Alchemy is STUCK When is that going to get fixed!!
I know it works if you collect your experience in game VS the gateway but what about my Characters that have been stuck for almost 2 WEEKS........
Also note no Double Astral Diamonds when collecting from the Gateway, wonder how they could miss coding that??
Guild and guide info
Module 4 Comprehensive DC guide |Module 4 MoF CW Handbook |New! Scourge Warlock Guide| NW Numbers and Mechanics guide |Crit, Power and DPS guide | Dungeon Delving guide and more
That is intentional, they want people to log in.
Feast of the Moon | Rising of the Dark | Shadow of the World | Everdark
Is the Miracle Healer set 4 peace bonus heal still prioritizing the DC instead of the lowest HP party member?
Can Astral Shield crit as any heal over time spell should?
Is the cooldown on Prophecy of Doom correctly resetting?
Do all our feats that state they proc on heals really do proc on ALL heals?
And these are only the things that need fixing, visit the Temple for a list of things that should be changed and balanced.
