If you had maintenance patches yesterday (during the last few hours of an event) and you have "urgent" maintenance patches today it's because you broke something yesterday. Call a spade a spade.

So you're saying team Whisperknife isn't viable? I mean, I always suspected this but I have not personally done the testing. In solo play you are running away and spamming heal potions quite a lot even with a non-ranged build.

Um..next Thursday November 14th? I'm 99% sure it's on the last Thursday of the month and involves cranberries and stuffing
