List of U5 changes

[Xyfiel]

Other then the noted ones, please list anything not officially announced.

I checked a 20 Ranger AA.

Base = 20% off hand
Twf = 40%
Itwf = 60%
Gtwf = 80%
Stwf = 100%, Bab 15, Dex 19

Tempest I = 10% off hand
II = 20% off hand
III = 5% double strike

AA, DWS, Ranger spells, Skills= no seen changes

Titan's Grip = clicky listed as +8 psionic, but using it gives +6 str(char has used a +2 tome)
Veriks necklace still bugs on swap
Lit II and Earth repeaters have new icon graphics(only ones I have)

Money in inv screen different

Change to grease, wow I like the new grease...

[MrCow]

Several spell effect sounds have been changed (fireball, lightning-based spells, teleport, etc.).

I also witnessed some Heroic Surges (both from myself and from monsters).

[QuantumFX]

Stwf = 100%, Bab 15, Dex 19

So this feat is actually in the U5 on Lammaland?

[Symar-FangofLloth]

Rogue Mechanic 1 now grants Intelligence mod to crossbow damage and higher DCs on crafted traps, neither of which was mentioned previously.

Yes, I didn't see a need to ss and upload it. Busy doing range speed tests now.

Completed repeater and bow test, no change.

[MrWizard]

is it ranger only?

[Xyfiel]

is it ranger only?

Not that I can tell, but I am on a Ranger.

[Aspenor]

this is probably an old build, Eladrin already said he decided STWF was bad for the game.

[asphodeli]

Looks like upon casting a spell the effect is near-instantaneously applied to self. Perhaps they fixed the mass spell buff lag?

GH has a more HEROIC sound!

Tavern food now reflects price correctly (i.e. uses the pp icon)

UI for money has changed, text is bigger, single-digit numbers occupy lesser space

WHO list does NOT update when you login (solving the login lag problem?) - you have to manually search the WHO list if you need to find someone

Grease can be set on fire with fire-based spells (except Fire Shield, no tumbling in grease please.)! Damage looks quite decent as well.

Trolls have been nerfed! (At least in Redwillow's Ruins on casual - purple damage on fire-based spells. Needs further confirmation)

[QuantumFX]

I’m not doubting your report I just wanted to make sure it was a feat and not a function of the Tempest III enhancement.

If this goes live... I have a reason to reroll my elven ranger... again... back to, pretty much, what he was initially.

I’m going to go cry now...

While there is always a chance it somehow makes it live, they've stated their intention is for it not to go live. Llama builds tend to be quite a bit behind the release candidate builds.

[Aerendil]

Yeah, really hoping this was a slip and STWF gets pulled.
Otherwise, melee feats for a TWF now = TWF, ITWF, GTWF, I:Crit, Power Attack, and STWF. That's 6 out of the base 7 most classes get.

I feel sorry for the Warchanters who also need to take Weapon Focus.
Now they're *literally* forced to splash Fighter just to take Toughness. 2 levels if you want Extend too.
Hope you didn't want an exotic weapon too
So much for having options...


As I argued in another thread, please remove STWF, and fix the numbers so that TWF and ITWF are viable stopping points.
Right now it's all or nothing as there is a HUGE difference between having just 1 TWF feat and having all 3.
STWF will just make it worse.

/sigh

They did say they had or were working on de-syncing clients so mass spells (and a few other situations) would happen instantly.

[Gnorbert]

I agree about STWF... but as for everything else.. there SHOULD be a huge difference if you take 3 feats versus 1 feat.

[QuantumFX]

No worries. I understand the concept of the beta build. If it does go live I really hope it’s as a completely optional feat with enough build options for players to “work around” the feat.

The crying joke from earlier is “Tears of loss”. (Specifically, lost time doing the True Reincarnate thing.) In some ways it would be pretty cool to have the option for a pure elven ranger to get away with most of the DPS bonuses offered by Tempest with full blown Arcane Archer abilities. (I could earn my own “Nerf Archers” thread! )

Happened upon a toon called Cowsoul in house P (cleric WF) and tried stacking the aura. The aura has a timer and it "stacks" (i.e it procs seperately), although it is not shown in the buff bar on the target. WF healing penalties apply. Range is about the size of a globe of invuln. Aura has a chance to critically heal as well. Divine Healing stacks. The aura also stacks with regen items. It seems to be affected by empower,maximize, and empower healing. Extend may or may not work, but it seems that the effect seems buggy when applied on the aura, sometimes it wastes a turn and the new aura is not applied, other times it gives you the normal buff time. And a few other times it gives you the extended buff time. Is there some random duration set on the aura?
