  • Fortified Catapult default damage decreased 25%
  • Field Trebuchet default damage decreased 15%

Class Balance

Bug Fixes

• Tracker’s Alacrity once again shows up in the Ranger’s ability list.
• Animist’s Bulging Spirit line of spells and constitution debuff line of spells are once again on separate RUTs.
• Draught of Supremacy potions should once again work properly on casters when they have their self-AF buff up.
• Druid alpha pets in baseline Nature should respond to their keywords correctly now.
• The new spirit sage pet in Nature specialization should respond to its keywords now.
  • The spirit fairy version of this pet no longer exists, nature sages will always be trees.
• Warlock’s Doom spell should once again fire properly for all Warlocks so long as the previous 3 DoTs are applied to their target.
• Valewalker’s style Thorny Shield (Sawgrass followup) should function properly now.
• Power regen duration and concentration buffs should no longer overwrite higher level versions of themselves, including songs. Power regen songs will overwrite higher level versions of themselves but not duration or concentration based buffs.
• Healer, Shaman, Cleric, Friar, Druid, and Warden resist buffs should now properly refresh every 3s. Their pulse durations are still 30s.
  • Midgard’s CL resists should no longer be overwritten by the Healer’s resist buffs.
• Archery shot damage has been fixed.
  • This results in a roughly 30% increase in damage from what was being seen on Pendragon and should remove the discrepancies between damage seen on Pendragon versus the damages currently seen on Live servers.
    • Please note that Point Blank shots will still be very slightly lower damage on Pendragon versus Live servers due to their levels in the Archery skill line being lower on Pendragon.
  • Critical and Power shot delves have been adjusted back down to their original 1.121 levels in conjunction with this fix. Even still, they will both do slightly more damage than they were doing prior to this fix on Pendragon.
