"Players can no longer "return to sender" when they're the sender."
"Skoll's and Hroogandr's health has now properly been increased, rather than decreased as it was in the previous build."
Thanks for hearing the feedback! Svardborg will be a great trial now!
Fangbreaker Island: A strange hooded humanoid no longer stands in the place where Hati was whenever Hati flies away.
when you are going to fix "this need a target" on second half of fight with Hati?
It becomes invisible after flying and every time, you need to run around with your camera for see it again. because when you can't see Hati you can't also hit it with target skills.
Or were stats buffing Chill of Winter? If so, they weren't buffing it enough and now it will be even worse.
Patch notes clarified for Oathbound Paladin question. Looks like I misinterpreted something when writing the patch notes, and "return to sender" isn't actually functionality available in the UI, so I'm removing that line from the mail bit.
Binding Oath
* doesn't generate any Divine Call
* doesn't apply your DR when giving you damage when the shield dies
Circle of Power doesn't generate any Divine Call or Action Points
Shield of Faith doesn't give any damage reduction when used with Absolution but works fine with Binding Oath
Divine Protector doesn't give any damage reduction when used with Absolution but works fine with Binding Oath
Bane doesn't generate any Divine Call or Action Points
Sanctuary gives no extra damage reduction when used with Absolution
Having Absolution give an increase to DR rather than be a separate damage reduction shield makes it near useless with high defence or combined with Circle of Power or using Sanctuary etc since it seems to hit an 80% DR cap
All looks pretty broken tbh

(There is a bug/explouit that allows transfer of bound items though the mail)
EDIT: Nope, fishing doesn't work for me. All I get is the stance-change overlay animation.

You also forgot to mention the changes undergone to powers of Devoted Clerics such as Anointed Army or that the Ancient Warding will now be broken in this build etc..
Also are you going to fix companion influence? Stats gained to companion by the said bonus (which incorrectly only buffs only the base stats of the companion (HP/power/crit/arm.pen for a striker) and not even the enhancements if has on it) are not transmitted through bonding runestones at all.

[...]
Effects that activate when non-critical damage is dealt, such as the Owlbear Cub's Active Companion Bonus, now only activate once per power use.
If you take the DPS from the Owlbear Cub, then why not make a Pillar of Power SW? This skill is broken. According to the description it deals damage. But 100% critical chance - critical damage is not. Pillar of Power SW must also be done according to the description of how Tyrannical Curse. Pillar of Power needs to deal critical damage according to the description and parameters of the character.
PoP composes around 4% of my damage, it's "usefullness" is mostly the buffs, picking up all the other damages and taking from them the % buffed by PoP, PoP is already too powerfull. In my opinion with the current state of SW if temptation gets more team buffs i see another MOF rene similar coming and everybody know that there aren't many MOF rene because buffs are great but if your party is bad then they wont pay off. PoP should have reduced buffs, increased area and crit chance because:
-Buffs are so high, easy to apply and long lasting that not just the sw profits largelly from it, but also all the team faced with that HB has almost the obligation to use it, and many SW's all that care about it self DPS;
-It's a contribution to make SW's a better choice than Devotion paladins, with my current buffs/insignia i make faster and fater uns of eTos with my sw than my OP.
-Curse bit works worse than other aoe's in most situations, if PoP had synergy with this encounter, we might see people using it;
-Power of the nine hells is great, but most players dont realise that they have to step on it to get buffs, if the area is not getting increased, please change the way the feat explanation is written.
