    3338.85/2782.38 =1.1999978

    something something rounding errors something something correct for all intents and purposes

    Tried as I might, I couldn't get more than 3, so that fix actually worked.

    However, the cooldown is still interestingly bugged. I fired off 3 Griffons, but the power won't go into cooldown reduced by RSI (similar to the "no range" bug that noworries mentioned somewhere).

    I haven't done exhaustive testing, but I noticed that if I fired Griffons at a pace I was used to (half to 3/4s of a delay between each press), I would get the no cooldown bug. The way I visually identified this was if I got the backhand animation.

    If I fire Griffons extremely slowly (ie, wait two or three seconds between each hit), then the power would correctly go into cooldown.

    ----

    Also, while you guys are preparing for the Mod16 nerf: the Staggering Challenge feat is still non functioning, at least for the Griffon's damage buff.

    @terramak and when will buyers of the "old" packs, like the Dragonborn Legend Pack, be able to buy an upgrade for their packs? Not to mention, that at some point class packs might return in an improved version to the game again, and will players that allready have the old packs be left out again as well?

    waiting for an answer for over a month now, what about all the players that have supported the game before with buying packs from the shop, what about us?

    I still can't use the off-hand weapons I've created in professions to transmute my off-hand weapon. Mai-hand transmutes fine.

    I would also like to Know.. Thanks





    Good news about the Dragonborn Race Pack.

    But even better when the Dragonborn Legend Pack gives the Epic Mount and Epic Black Dragon Ioun Stone companion.

    Some of us paid through the nose for that Pack way back. And some poor sods probably bought it a week before they dropped the price massively AND upgraded the contents. No one expects a rebate of Zen, but they should update both packs retrospectively.
