    In essence you are right but what is "theory" and what is "practical" is still very different,

    RNG still plays an important part of it, and this is the key issue which affects alot of players

    I'm glad to see the fix for GWF, but where is the fix for the HR 4 piece set? That is equally as game breaking and should be part of this next patch.

    [*]Barkshield Enchantment: The buff from this power now correctly has an icon.

    Barkshield, Knight Captains and High Prophet all used to share the same icon (skull). Thank you for fixing Barkshield but you can you add the icon back for Knight Captain's and High Prophet too?

    @ Panderus

    So now even after 127 Heroic events (Remo/Raiders/Beholder) I Still dont have my main Hand like alot of people who fall curse to the RNG and you have made it WORSE and less chance to get a main hand / Epic item?

    Epic....... truely......

    The only reason some of us want is is for the Design skin to be honest but still all this work and nothing to show for it...

    Well done !! .....sigh

    Mind posting your gear? A lot of the times, if you don't contribute enough to the encounter, you tend to get less rewards.

    I've had tons and tons of epic quality rewards from heroic encounters and I'd say there might be something else at play besides RNG if you still haven't gotten any in 127 epic heroic encounters

    I have also 3/8 of Black ice Gear empowered even with this no difference

    As best as we understood on preview...here goes...you have received an epic just not what you wanted. Those 6 epics you have received are part of the epic loot. So what this means is that you reached the threshold "to trigger a chance for an epic drop".

    An epic drop consists of black ice gear, hammerstone gear, or elk tribe gear. IT can be any of them.

    It should change today with the patch.

    Nuttily enough, I got a Black Ice Orb and (second) Bow last night from Beholder pops while I was doing dailies. The HR was jamming mechanisms when the encounter spawned mid-map, and the CW was near the gate for a back-map spawn. I don't think I did anything special at all, contribution-wise. Really standard Spellstorm Thaum rotation on the CW (ergo, not attempting to change up powers for more "control" at all). HR stays ranged to try to minimize getting into trouble and stay out of the lag zone as much as possible. Thorn Ward and Aimed Shot at Beholder or wights, Rain of Arrows when Master of Archery activates. Throw in a little Split Shot to kill zombies. Use Forest Ghost to help rez people.

    I have not done any heroic encounter chasing, only made a point of doing the bigger ones if they happen to come up in the instance I'm in. One thing I do is check my map when I zone in to see what encounters are up and what their timers say, which gives me an idea of whether or not I'm likely to see an epic encounter start up in the time it takes me to finish what I'm doing.

    [*]Scoreboards: Resolved an issue that could list more participants than have actually participated in the currently displayed instance of that event.

    This is not currently fixed on Preview nor Live.
    Players that are in the instance (but may have left PvP area or even deflagged from PvP) will display on the scoreboard when Black Ice Domination starts. For example, Black Ice Domination just started, but there were 30 odd players on the scoreboard with points already, none of which were even inside the PvP area at that time.

    Players leaving the instance completely also are not removed from the scoreboard, which can cause lag issues when the scoreboard is opened.

    Interestingly, the "X v Y" at the left bottom corner of the scoreboard may indicate the total number of PvP flagged players in the current instance (but not inside PvP area when Encounter starts), and that number is usually much lower than the number of players displayed on the scoreboard in total.

    If thats true its hard to believe the Devs let this go, once again more buff for GWF :-(. How much OP dos this class need to get for the Devs to say: ok now we think the class is fine...

    ...Rampaging Madness, since Day 1, has does this as well. All DoT give stacks for feats/boons/etc. that gain stacks through dealing damage as well as anything that gains stacks or activates through receiving damage. Its always been that way.

    I dunno if it's optimal, but yeah, I'm using Rampaging Madness and Plaguefire on an HR too. Many stacks are built.

    Its a lot. I think getting to 60 I earned that much on my alts, but not even close on my main when I blazed through the game.

    Please let me know if you experience an error message that says you have reached the limit, its pretty clear.

    Ahoy, Panderus!

    It seems that "a lot" might not be enough under some circumstances, as here we have an unhappy player affected by the cap. I'm not sure if the intended purchase here would be over the limit or if the change is buggy.

    They're planning on nerfing the set bonus into oblivion by adding an internal cooldown and chance to proc.

    If it was just fixing the healing depression that would be great and HRs would still be viable afterwards.

    With what they're planning- I'm not sure they will be.

    HELLO PANDERUS:

    I am here to address the coalescent ward issue. Ever since the nerf to coalescent wards in the Taramalune Trade Bars merchant store, the economy has skyrocketed in prices for everything. And along with increase in price to the auction house, will be the decline and plunge in active players. I know your goal is to make the game better while makign more money. To bring forth recognization, i know the problem of inflation in this game can rise on changes towards certain items. I believe bringing back the coalescent ward being unbound again from the bar merchant, but increasing the amount of bars, will solve this problem. People will need to spend more money in order to achieve the ward, but at the same time, people will have a constant flow of Coalescent Wards on the auction house. The increase in prices is ridiculous and deflation is not the answer to getting the GENERAL active players to keep playing and contributing a less greedier atmosphere and an overall more enjoyable time in this game.

    Thank you for hearing me out.

    i play since begining this is just my alt account so..
    UR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
    and funny thing is u did not know that dots always worked like that just lol.


    Maybe your on the forum with your alt cause u got banned from it with your main for too much trolling. And funny thing is im talking about Deep gash, not about plaguefire or other dots, but the fact you didnt knew Deep gash wasnt staking Destroyer purpose before this patch got live explain a lot on you what you know and what you dont. Keep talking and insulting people if you want I dont care, from now ill just ignore your trolling post.
