    I think movement speed needs some adjustments, 400 to 1% is not worth it. Having dark enchantments in your utility slots is almost giving you nothing at all. I hope to see some adjustments to this otherwise we wont see alot of people even making use of the utility slots. I am a pvp player i wouldnt even consider using fey or hoard enchants in my utility slots "Oh look! a black opal" during a pvp match.

    Where did the TR get a deflection buff? If they did I missed it.

    Maybe he means the added deflection from dex?

    So no SW buff?? and Creeping Death have been nerfed, what about TR Shadow of demise???? 100% damage and piercing??? don't you think it's a lil too much??? nerf it 40% aswell!

    I don't think SWs are getting a buff. You can see the others classes going through progressive series of tweaks, sw pretty much stopped at the creeping death dot nerf. I gave up on it, and I am pretty confident this will be a class that is not played in pvp in mod 6. Better to just give up on it and have fun with a viable class than get disappointed when the class remains pure garbage in pvp when 6 goes live.

    Artifact Weapon: Damage reduction??!

    For example "Longbow of Elemental Fire" had a damage of 2,359-2,883... now with the last patch it only has 1,170-1,430
    Also the "old" artifact weapons have reduced damage...

    • Boons that heal players or deal damage now scale between levels 60 and 70. They begin at 10% effectiveness at level 60 and scale up to 100% effectiveness at level 70.

    New Sharandar/DR boons heal up to 20000 hps; So what does it mean? Tranquil Enchantments is an absolute trash.

    Yup. Basically a coffer every 11 days and if you're lucky a lesser resonance stone? And no more campaign coffer? Ugh.

    They didn't fix the black holes either. I hope OP's aren't a mess because no one can test them in end game conditions. If they can't fix them, at least let us buy tomes of experience.


    Is it really that hard for them to send to us a BOA item that lvls instantly to 70??

    you want your test community to help you out, well you gotta help us out too you know.


    I refuse to test my 70 pally thanks to Helm, arms and Feet blackholes..

    Really hard to test level 70 when we have no gear to use or buy, artifacts aside. Normally test servers would have these options available to purchase specifically for testing purposes. Obviously it wouldn't be purchased like that on live but that really leaves us in a jam. I'm level 70 and I'm still wearing level 60 corrupted black ice gear? C'mon. It's slightly better than the gear that can be purchased from the ToD campaign store minus the HP's and it's made for level 61 use.

    IWD is do-able but it's not easy. Fighting an elite bear rider was like an epic battle. Really shouldn't be like that, it's a barbarian.. on a bear. Deaths are happening, and rather easy. One swipe from a barbarian or giant and dead. Now if we had the proper gear for level 70 zones, then perhaps we wouldn't be having all this negativity. Very difficult to judge. I have epic level elemental artifact MH and OH which helps, but I don't have any where near the proper health pool or stats for this new curve.

    I am really scared to see that we are a little over a week out before this mod drops.

    How is Sharandar and Dread Ring after level 70? Balanced good? Too hard or too easy? DO those zones reward gear we can use for IWD? Will there be new dungeons that reward gear to make IWD more doable?

    I missed this somewhere. If this is true, it will mean I can free up some bag space as I vendor everything but the pot I will use.

    Stupid change, but that's the way this game is drifting. :(

    There are Alchemy potions at level 25 with 3 bonus stats, the same stat bonus as the current potions. If ya want to go thru the crafting.

    Elixrs seem to be stacking ok so...im loading up on them. Looks like they got a minor buff to them too. I also noticed that other potion buffs like Caprese and Potion Of Heroisn are stacking with the Elixrs. Not sure if this will stay this way.

    Hell, Sharandar disappeared after my first visit there and never returned! It doesnt display on the map! I have no way of getting back there and they have done nothing to fix it along with my other bugs! They are too busy working on <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> they could wait until later to work on instead of getting their **** priorities straight!!

    My HR is the only toon I have that can't access the sharandar store through the campaign window. From my research, this is a very old bug that they have never bothered to fix. Though yours sounds much more.. severe.

    None of the new areas have got dungeon or lair achievements so if I had to guess we probably won't be getting any new dungeons with module 6 , just the old ones we know and love rescaled to 70 xD

    As for gear , god knows what is going on there , Graaxl3 (if he is still incharge of such content) seems to be struggling , he hasn't even been posting on the forum for feedback like he has in previous modules , then again there isn't really mch gearwise to give feedback on at the moment ( 9 days until launch lmfao).

    Please increase the damage so this can be a more attractive and viable class feature...

    I did the 3 mini-dungeons in Dread Ring today on level 60 characters (GF, HR, CW). It was fine, I took noticably more damage than on live but I wouldn't label it as hard. Chest gear rewards were a piece of unidentified green. No idea if that is final or still a work in progress.

    It means if you don't upgrade your current artifacts they will be actually downgraded in the new module. For instance, an epic artifact in mod 5 is pretty good but in mod 6 the same piece of artifact will be only level 96, which is pretty crappy comparing to the level 70 gear.

    Yup. I tried a couple of times too and they all dropped green <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. I am not surprised this is intended to make leveling harder. Perhaps on the brighter note of the RP front, skill nodes and dungeon chests drop rank 5 enchantments now.
