Realm vs Realm

Molvik Dynamic Keep Objectives

• The Siege Workshop objective has been re-worked as follows:
  • No longer spawns siege engines on or around Molvik’s keep.
  • Now affects the sturdiness/difficulty of Molvik’s keep gates and gatehouse doors as follows:
    • When the defending realm owns the Siege Workshop door difficulty will be increased by 100%.
    • When attacking realms own the Siege Workshop door difficulty is normal.
  • The difficulty of the Siegemaster NPC that gates control of the Siege Workshop objective has been increased slightly.
• The Quarrymaster objective now properly adjusts Molvik’s keep level based on its current level every 3 minutes.
  • When the defending realm owns the Quarry objective the keep’s level is incremented from its current level every 3 minutes to a max of level 10.
    • This incrementation of level happens regardless of the keep being claimed.
  • When the attacking realm owns the Quarry objective the keep’s level is decremented from its current level every 3 minutes to a low of level 1.
• The difficulty of the Quarrymaster NPC that gates control of the Quarry objective has been increased slightly.
• The Mercenary Camp functions remain the same but the difficulty of the Mercenaries spawned at the keep has been adjusted as follows:
  • Their level has been lowered so that they con orange to level 39s instead of red.
  • Their aggression radius has been increased to mimic that of standard keep guards.
• The difficulty of the Mercenary Captain NPC that gates control of the Mercenary Camp has been increased slightly.

Battleground Siege Changes

• Keeps in the battlegrounds are now properly flagged as “under siege” when their door or wall health reaches 75% or below.
• All battleground-specific rams have had their base swing speed halved and are also only able to be controlled by 1 character now.
  • Please note that to control a ram, users must RIGHT-click or type /control with the ram targeted; double-left-clicking will no longer board rams.
• Rams deployed by Siegemaster NPCs in battlegrounds are no longer owner-exclusive.
  • This means when the ram is deployed and the original owner dies or otherwise releases control of the ram, another character in that realm can control it.
  • All other battleground siege weapons placed by Siegemaster NPCs remain owner-exclusive.
• Siege weapons can no longer be deployed or moved onto the roof of inner keeps in the Battlegrounds.

Buggane’s Obelisk

• Buggane’s Obelisk now spawns on Ellan Vannin exclusively and does not switch locations.

Class Changes

Realm Abilities

• Thornweed Field users must still remain stationary when firing this ability but its 2s cast time has been removed and it now fires instantly.

Body Specialization

• The level 45 lifetap Abduct Lifeforce has had its delve reduced from 199 to 184 body damage.

• Necromancer’s now properly receive the Demon Mana buff (11% secondary magic resistance) when using their Call of Darkness realm rank 5 ability.

• Runemasters can now train the Static Tempest realm ability.

Savagery specialization

• Savages can now train the climb walls ability at level 50 Savagery specialization.
  • This is a passive ability that is always enabled once specialized.
    • This means it does not appear in the training window but will show up in the Savage’s ability list (where realm abilities show) once trained.

Witchcraft specialization

• The Minor Agony, Lesser Agony, and Agony damage-over-time spells are now normal-cast non-secondary spells.
  • Their cast times have been sped up from 3.0s to 2.5s.
  • This means that these DoTs are no longer modified by a Warlock’s primers.
