    Terramak - some of the new Insignia bonuses do not seem to work. Combatant's Maneuver is not procing and there is no icon for it in the character's buff bar. Another user reported Victim's Preservation (I have not had a chance to test this one yet).

    Bug reports:
    GF's Steel Defense does not protect against Everfrost damage.
    SW's Soul Sparks are bugged (not healing SW).
    Quest Guard Duty seems to be bugged. At least 1 door is outside of quest blue circle on the map. Combine it with Blizzard and it gets realy annoying.
    There are still fe frozen figurines moving around Bryn Shander.
    Dwarven beards went white (my friends character got black one b4), might be dwarves getting older...

    fixed misspelling

    @terramak as many people say the borrowed time problem is a really huge issue, at the moment all the good efforts on SW rework are trashed. Hope you can fix it soon, SW is not viable at all in PVP as long as we have this bug :)

    @terramak I thought temptation capstone was going to be reworked. Anything in regards to either that or lifesteal for the healock in general? Also Vampiric Embrace is still STILL a joke. You guys need to either give it a dps boost, or lower the icd or anything other than what it does now.

    Would Love to party up with people for pretty much anything!

    I'm glad you are trying to do something about the blizzard vfx, but so far your efforts are without success. I managed about 30 minutes in Bryn Shander before I had a headache and wanted to leave the game.

    Not very happy with this given it was reported in the first week of testing for the zone.
    Obsidian Moonlight - Paladin
    Obsidian Oath - Warlock
    A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.
