And thanks for the SoD fix, I think I can return to PVP now, although TRs are still going to be the most powerful by far....

Interesting change, sounds good subject to testing the new weekly.
Any thoughts on allowing the early Tyranny of Dragons (ToD) quests to be picked up in Well of Dragons (WoD) as well as Protector's Enclave? It's duplication but it'd save hassle.
Edit: just realised the level and GS limitations on WoD rendering my earlier suggestion void.
Characters that I'm only just starting ToD with just do one run of Assist the Harpers/Order of Gauntlet etc, then proceed to WoD until I've unlocked the next stage. Going backwards and forwards to PE is a pita, particularly if you're only there to collect a quest before going to another zone, e.g. Ebon Downs. I am knowingly missing out on Pages of Arcane Lore for the ToD boon progress but frankly I don't find it worth the hassle.
Yay, especially the first one.
Thanks for this very good patch note.
P.S. rus server
It does.

(Go on, prove me wrong, make the single biggest issue in the game right now a ninja fix after all, would be amusing..)
nice fix!!

I'm a 23k gear score PVP build CW with 42k HP, right now it is common to be easily kill in around 5 to 6 sec by TR while not be able to cast because we are daze all the fights. Tr hit with Dazing Strike follow 4 to 5 second later by Smoke Bomb while DPS and disappeared for around 5 second and come back with Dazing Strike and Smoke Bomb again and while daze all the fight, from the beginning, took all 42K HP and make the kill. And if you've been hit with LASHING BLADE from Stealtht it goes even faster 4 to 5 sec your ded.
My suggestion would be:
DAZING STRIKE, SMOKE BOMB, SHADOW STRIKE, IMPACT SHOT are the major problem; the dazing time should be reduce to 1 to 3 second max on players (like CW control) and players should be immune to daze effects for at least 8 second after being daze, so that will put a stop to one of major problem with TR abuse.
LASHING BLADE DPS should be reduce from Stealth to 10% critical severity instead of 50% on players.
IMPACT SHOT DPS should be reduce on players.
Regarding CW spells:
Make Steal Time and Sudden Storm usable in PVP:
Reduce by 50% the activation time of Steal Time and make the Slowing Time working on all class without any immunity, so the activation time will slow everyone for around 1.5 sec (not a big deal) and make this spell able to interrupted TR Stealth and immunities (so TR will have to use knowledge and good play to compensate instead of always disappearing and strike while immune, stealth or stunning without us having no way to fight).
Reduce Sudden Storm activation time by 60% and the resulting Bolt of lightning strike to be done 50% quicker so we will be able to use that spell in PVP
Note: Do something about DC DPS path it's much to high for PVP
Are they still ninja-able? I'm getting tired of having GWF's and SW's steal them just as I'm about to interact.
(there is a reason why my Foundry is tough on GWF's -- some of them desperately need a lesson in humility!)

Those are very much needed.
Well, not sure about TR, but for DC i'm totally with you, the damage is too high : my GF while blocking (80% damage reduction) + 52% DR + 18% tenacity making roughtly 94% damage reduced took a 6K ... making it without any damage reduction to 100K base damage ... don't think it should be this high (even if debuff and AP a DC should be able to make sometimes more or less like 30K base damage, i'd say ok ... but this much ...) And the same guy took 30% of my 54K hp while i wasn't blocking (well i was 30% hp left so don't know exactly how much ... still 52% DR + 18% tenacity)
So ok to buff the DC but you've done too much ... TR too (even if i have a TR and wait for the 2 next patch for more fix before finilizing his spec) i love how you've said the perma stealth was hader to achieve ... i'm still perma stealth with 1 less stealth regain power, and adding a dps who will always crit while stealth ... well ... Like always the balancing is not your main power ...
Well ... i'll wait for the nexts patches ...
The other 5 dragons had their hp increase, but not the heralds (the ones in the new area).
It's even worse than normal. And I have a computer capable of running Witcher 2 with MAX settings at 60 FPS.
You have some seriously annoying texture problems, it usually takes up to 10 minutes in an instance for them to properly resolve.
