so basically other nerfs for tr are waiting to hit the server.
Yeah...
Of all the things to be working on, they choose to work on nerfing bilethorn? Basically meaning the only viable enchants for anyone is going to be plaguefire and vorpal.

Actually the changes to the way enchantments work are a genuine balance pass rather than a class or enchantment specific nerf IMO.
To clarify on this a little I looked at how Armor Penetration works and found a couple of side cases where our implementation just wouldn't work. Most common was that some of your powers didn't inherit it correctly, and the second most common was anything happening on a delay actually missing the impact of the Armor Penetration. I have fixed both of these issues locally and they have to go through some testing (as I made armor penetration a fair bit more expensive on the system in fixing it), but I am confident that it works on pretty close to everything, if not everything now.
Also, incidental to this fix, I have corrected a bug where in rare cases two players could benefit from each other's armor penetration on the same target. So yay!
Thank you gcrush, sounds great!
One thing -- last I heard was that CWs would be the next class re-work and that it was already in progress, but there have also been a lot of official comments concerning changes for GFs.
Is it now likely that we will see changes to the GF before CW?
Will any of these changes (CW, GF, Arpen) likely occur before Mod4 (assuming late August)?
Any ETA to preview (I'm eager to test!) or live is greatly appreciated, thanks again

Hey, I wanna report another "bug" (I think it is one).
Feat: Oppressor's Controlled Momentum Occasion: Duration isn't refreshed by other control powers while already active. Example: Chill Strike counts as control power for this feat, as does Entangling Force. So I use Entangling Force and get Controlled Moment for ~6 seconds. Before the 6 seconds are up, I use Chill Strike (which alone also procs CM), but the duration doesn't get refreshed.
I think this is a bug, because a similar feat like Oppressor's Bitter Cold refreshes constantly when applying chill. CM does not.
This feat no longer applies the debuff when arcane encounters (at least for entangle and shard) are used and there is no DoT damage after using a cold encounter (at least for chill strike and icy rays).
The Shadow weaver set effect is also still broken. It frequently just stops working, making it virtually useless.
This has been the case for a looooong time it seems, shame i actually farmed it before recearching if it worked........

Aelar Hawkwind - Archer
Karrin Feywinter - Mistress of Flame
Errin Duskwalker - Executioner
Darquess - Soulbinder
If damage is normalized on all enchants (to the same basically crappy damage), why would anyone use bilethorn?
A TR would be better off using plaguefire for defense debuff or vorpal. And they're the only ones really using bilethorn.
