Bug Fixes
Assassin

Shadow Walk: this skill now completely prevents the casting of enchantments. Previously the enchantment would fail immediately after activation, causing the caster to lose Energy.

Necromancer

Dark Aura: fixed a bug that caused the caster of Dark Aura to take damage instead of losing Health.

I've never HA'd in my life. Haven't GVG'ed in a year. Have never TA'd.

I can understand that 2000 life stealing in 2 seconds is imba.

Everyone whining about how PvPers ruined whatever for you, please stop being so ignorant. Bottom line is, the skills were bugged, they should have been fixed, and they were. Stop whining about how you can no longer use a bugged skill to farm.

Yes because doing 10,000 damage in 13 seconds is balanced...lawl.

I do LOVE how it's explained as if the skill is MUCH better now!

Woo-hoo! We don't lose energy now!
Go girl!

Ohh and it's a good thing I didn't dash off yet! Man - this will be either locked and gone from the first page, or deleted or edited and it would be a shame to miss some of the brilliant minds posting here!
Once again - go girl!

Darkobra · Mar 21, 2008, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Ok. Yet another thing I missed because I don't fiddle around looking for bugs. Can someone fill me in?

Shadow Walk's no-Enchant casting clause let people blow things up by Dark Aura + Cultist's Fervor + hammering Death Nova

Any spell that is canceled by the player should not take energy. They haven't grasped that concept yet.

That would mean that the whole game would have to be re-written. Because then the energy req would be checked at the end of activating the skill - which brings in the problem of being able to use skills when one does not even have enough energy to pay for them. Plus interrupts would cause that one does not lose the energy for the skill - since nothing was used yet. IF interrupts would cause the loss of energy - then imagine the problem of interrupting a skill that the player didn't even have enough energy to pay for (but would if the skill would finish activating).
It would seriously mess up a lot of things - so the current system makes MUCH more sense.

Heikofant · Mar 21, 2008, 11:05 PM // 23:05

well actually, it wasn't a bug.
It was an imbalanced Skill-Combo.
But all the Skills worked like they should

Dr Strangelove · Mar 21, 2008, 11:46 PM // 23:46

You people cannot possibly think the ability to instagib anything was balanced. I suppose signet of might was also an uncalled for nerf?
