ABILITIES / ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT

Fixed an issue with multi attack after 500, and the flurry conversion for haste after 200.

Warden

Predator

Dirge

All forms of Intrepid Strike have been changed. The Legendary Intrepid Strike now grants 15% Flurry, Potency and PvP Potency. The Mythical and Spell versions grant 25% Flurry, Potency and PvP Potency. The ability has been changed to stack additively instead of multiplicatively with Potency, Flurry and Multi-Attack. Had this not been addressed, the advantage from Intrepid Strike would have grown indefinitely with those stats.

Troubador

Countersong has had its immunity removed. It now lasts for 12 seconds, does not dispel when an ability is used and reduces the targets AE Auto Attack Chance as well as ability damage.
Vexing Verses now also deals minor damage and reduces the target's casting speed.
Breathtaking Bellow can no longer be resisted. Its radius has been increased to 15 meters.
Demoralizing Processional now also reduces the target encounter's primary attributes.
Enhance: Demoralizing Processional now also improves the attribute reduction.
Jester's Cap no longer has an immunity timer.
Tap Essence now affects the encounter and the group. The damage has been reduced.
Painful Lamentations has had its damage increased.
Thunderous Overture now has a 10 second reuse but is a point blank area effect ability that affects up to 8 targets.
Perfect Shrill has had its damage increased.
Enhance: Rejuvenating Celebration now also improves the maximum health granted by Rejuvenating Celebration.
Raxxyl's Rousing Tune now also improves agility.
Sandra's Deafening Strike now restores some of the power it stole to the troubador.
Demoralization is now "Abhorrent Verse." Abhorrent Verse transfers 50% of the threat from the Troubador's group to the target for a short time. This does not transfer threat from fighters.

ITEMS

The Twin Calamities should once again be able to be wielded in either hand.
Overland named item drops in Kunark should be tradeable.
Kingdom of Sky quest armor sets should be legendary again.
Fixed some Elements of War shield items that had crit values too low.
Kingdom of Sky “Cloud Mount” questline rewards have had set bonuses re-added to them. This set bonus should work with the new and old quested items. Classes that cannot acquire the specific pieces have also been removed from each item.
Meshwork Mantle, Mantle of Patience, Shoulder Pads of Frenzied View, and Shoulder Pads of the Thicket should now properly equip in the shoulder slot.
Elements of War weaponry should now have more lenient class restrictions.

LIVE EVENTS
Nights of the Dead

"The Cauldron Charnel" zone is now named "Charnel Hollow" to be consistent with the other Hollow zone names available through the same door.
The quest "Survive the Night" now gives directions to the "Charnel Hollow" entrance.
It should be easier to place the movable plants near Vikki.
Setri Lur'eth now identifies the lost girl as her granddaughter.
The "Undead Monster Tome" can now be equipped at level 1.
The "Scribbled Zombie Note" can now be read even when placed in a house.
One more movable plant has been added to the zone for players that are illusionists, coercers, dirges, troubadors, and assassins or rangers.
The movable plants and zombies are more noticeable now due to green and red auras.
The movable plants can now be examined to obtain a hint of their usefulness in the zone.
Vikki's dialog has been rewritten to better direct and to allow you to get ready for the attacking undead.
There are now on screen messages for each of the zombie waves within "Charnel Hollow".
Dolly should put up more of a fight now. (She is now heroic, but by using the attacking plants the fight is solo.)
Setri Lur'eth now allows you time to read all of her dialog at the end of the quest "Survive the Night".

QUESTS

The mission “Tower of Frozen Shadow: Shadowed Corridors - Library Facilitarians” should now only require killing 5 targets.
