Classes and Balance

- Devoted Cleric: Anointed Champion: Anointed Army: This power now correctly grants bonus Power to affected targets.
- Devoted Cleric: Anointed Champion: Feat: Battle Fervor: The tooltip has been updated to note that this feat increases Power by 3/6/9/12/15% of your Power. This is only a tooltip change.

Content and Environment

Also, I am still working on getting the previously omitted patch notes from the .2. They will be updated here as well as the old thread.
UPDATE: Please see the missing patch notes I unintentionally omitted from the previous build below/

really?
You really should have looked closer. There was a big topic on this, this past week about it with the big uproar. The devs said in this topic that it was going to be bind to account.
Also to the Devs, what is going on with the Seismic bug, still no patch notes on this. Zones are getting unplayable cause of this bug.
Where have you been for the past two weeks? That discussion alone practically melted the forums, Twitch, Twitter, probably Facebook....
It is now allowed to mail Bind on Account items to your other characters such as the updated Coalescent Wards from the Invocation rewards.
Great aside from the whole "stats remain unchanged" part :P
Not to be rude about it, but what's the purpose in updating the costumes for these armor sets if the likelihood of anyone wanting to use them is nil (e.g. Devoted Cleric)? At best they'll be relegated to glorified transmutation items, just like the Fabled Iliyanbruen sets mostly are.
Contagion - Cleric
Testament - Wizard
Pestilence - Ranger
Dominion - Paladin
NIGHTSWATCH
This is Nice!
So awesome!
Please expand this to numerous other items!
For instance DD Chest Drops should be BoA until equipped.
Companions should be BoA even if equipped.
The Reinforced Gauntlets should be BoA.
CTA Rewards should be BoA.
Non-Zen Store Mounts (Lockbox mounts) should be BoA.
Please please, pretty please?
Indeed! I'm glad I didn't trash that Caturday survivor XP item.

Please see the missing patch notes I was finally able to get around to posting here: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?532991-NW-10-20131120a-2-Shadowmantle-Preview-Patch-Notes&p=6581761&viewfull=1#post6581761
I have been trying to sneak these sorts of things in ever since the shard merge a while back. Sadly we have been crunching and really focused on getting Shadowmantle out. Don't want to feature creep too much. It is something we are actively tracking to get in where relevant and safe. There are lots of implications to these changes we need to think about and plan.
Thanks will have to check it out later to see
Well if you reading this aspect of lone wolf is not working respecting powers on preview dose not work rain of arrows need a slightly larger radius tbh making it dmg faster really isn't making it attractive to use. its need a radius equivalent to Split they sky or a lil bigger but equal to.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Don't know about a Split the Sky diameter for Rain of Arrows, but it certainly needs to be about 1.5-2x its current diameter. Firing faster is helping however, though I still dumped it like a hot rock when I could get Thorn Ward. Stupidly hard power to use effectively vs simple to use power both with similar effects; I know which one I'm going to use.
That said it seems the duration of Grasping Roots has been shortened, making a bad class feature worse.

i stopped reading this forum and playing after change to shards giving 500 rp instead of 2k. some dude made calculation u need 300 random shards to make 1 perf enchant, but after this change, wow.
Yes.
Please.
Yes.
If lockbox mounts/companions become account bound, that will kill any reason I had to purchase keys. Why have it if I don't want to use it and can't sell it at the AH?
I think the request was to make an equipped one account-bound and not character-bound, not to make them BoAoP, so to speak.

I think you mean BoAoE
This mean bind to account after equipping
I'll break it down.
ambisinisterr posted that he'd like lockbox mounts, etc. to be account-bound.
silentraven72 posted that if that were implemented, he'd have no reason to open boxes, not being able to sell the grand prizes.
I think ambi meant that he'd like equipped mounts to be transferable around your account... so they'd be account-bound once equipped, not once picked up. That's what I was trying to express.
Though it isn't clear from ambi's phrasing. Maybe he does object to people selling the lockbox mounts. If so, I vehemently disagree, because I see no problem with someone who wants it opting to buy the mount outright over buying potentially hundreds of chances at it and still being at the mercy of RNG. I recently bought a pseudodragon because I *really* wanted one... not to gamble on it, to actually have it, to hug it and squeeze it and call it Drake.

Only problem with this is that the major hurdle to advancing our artifacts are the "blue" quality marks, not the green.
That should be BtAoE.
