    You mean that super important buff icon that tells you when your next attack will apply partial paralysis?



    I wouldn't remove the icon unless the item itself is fundamentally changed, which, according to the patch notes, the ring is not fundamentally changed other than getting a longer ICD.

    Players on live already know (at the moment) that the Partial Paralysis attack "isn't" random thanks to the buff icon.

    Does this mean that monster difficulty in the area has been toned down?

    Today's maintenance was to address an issue with some of our server machines; no game changes were pushed to the live shard on Friday, September 1st.

    And thanks for the feedback @rjc9000 - I've asked the person who made the change but it'll probably be a bit before they look into this again.

    Monster difficulty in Soshenstar was not toned down, the change was only to the text and the requirements for that text to appear.

    Thank you for clearing it up.

    Apparently Stalwart Lion no longer shares damage to party members after this patch. Since it was not documented in the notes and the companion's tooltip was not altered, I'm inclined to say this is a bug rather than accusing y'all of ninja nerfing it. Please fix!
