1.121E Pendragon Patch Notes

Class Balance

Bug Fixes

(Pendragon Only) Purge should no longer clear crowd control immunities along with the crowd control effects.
Disease spells now correctly debuff strength on targets using draughts of supremacy.
The Archer Bola and Patella shots now fire on monsters and pets as well as players.
- These shots now do a low amount of damage in conjunction with their effects
Assassin Tranquilizing Gas and Tranquilizing Miasma (mez poison) procs now apply on their target correctly.
Assassin’s Shadowstrike ability now uses the updated Backstab II or Perforate Artery styles (depending on the character’s Critical Strikes specialization).
The RUT on Assassin’s Blur ability no longer gets triggered when attempting to teleport to invalid targets or on targets outside of the Z-axis restriction ranges, but within normal spell range.
(Pendragon Only) Poisons are, once again, not procced via crossbows or thrown weapons.
- Battlemaster ML Throw Weapon and Shadowblade Throw Weapon styles will still proc the poisons.
The Hunter’s level 20 pet, Hunter’s Protector, now correctly performs its new Critical Strikes styles.
The Heretic focus DD’s pulses now correctly account for +range items in the character’s gear and for nearsight debuffs.
(Pendragon Only) (Client) Fixed an issue with mouse toggle causing the mouse cursor to become permanently disabled in-game.
- The functionality for mouselook toggle has changed. When toggled on, and not using the mouse look button, the cursor will stay hidden as it did before. However, now when toggled on, if the mouse look button is used, the toggle will disable automatically allowing for easier targeting.
(Client) Fixed an issue with ability icons that were on cooldown from appearing to come off cooldown when swapping weapons.

Changes

General

Another pass has been made on anytime and positional style damage values. Generally this will result in the listed anytime styles doing slightly less damage than previously with 1.121 and the positional-based styles doing much more.
- Specific style changes are noted in detail within their respective class sections.
  - If the damage was increased or decreased to a new tier, the notes will say “the damage was increased from Medium to High”, etc.
  - If damage was increased or decreased in behind-the-scenes values but still retained its in-game value of “Low”, “Medium”, “High”, “Very High”, etc. the notes will only say the “the damage was increased/decreased slightly/significantly.”
- The Battlemaster ML styles have had their damage values adjusted as following:
  - Essence Flames has had its damage decreased slightly
  - Essence Shatter has had its damage decreased slightly
Spymaster’s Master Level 3 ability has been changed from a single-target stealth ally ability as follows:
- Essence Armor – 25% essence resist buff – self-target – 20-minute duration
Spymaster’s Master Level 9 ability, Essence Blades, has had its RUT reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.
All buff shears have had their impact on earning realm points from sheared targets significantly reduced.
- This should result in a more even distribution of realm points between a group that does most of the damage to an enemy player and an out-of-group realm ally who shears the same enemy player.
- Additionally, all buff shear types (dex, con, acuity, etc.) are now worth the same amount of RPs within their given tier (yellow vs. red shears).
All self-buff spells used by hunter and druid pets are now unable to be overwritten by players. The buff values have been adjusted to match the values of a 25% Buff Effectiveness buff of the same value.
All list-caster, instant-cast stat debuff spells have had their RUT reduced to 7 seconds, down from 10 seconds. Values and durations remain unchanged.
Spells with self-targeting restrictions now display a corresponding error message when attempting to use the spell on yourself.
Archery shots display a proper error message when trying to perform them without a bow equipped.

- Please note that the bug with the ability’s RUT being reset improperly on failed casts has been fixed.
Vanish now cures poison when its duration fades.
