Has anyone checked how crazy high the dc on the air ele trip is?Air Elemental and Djinni whirlwind knockdown damage has been modified to scale with the elemental's hit dice, and the DC for the initial knockdown is now an opposed roll (1d20 + target's Strength or Dexterity modifier vs. 10 + Djinni's Casting Ability or Air Elemental's Constitution modifier.) Players that are not using shields are no longer immune to the knockdown effect. Summoned monsters affected by effects such as Bear's Endurance or Augment Summoning will see these bonuses reflected in their DC's.
I'm thinking maybe wounding weapons will become popular again if it's bad enough...

I'm looking forward to the air elementals being something to be feared again.

yep they knock you around like before now, shield or not.
DC was severely nerfed th. Seems to be 12-14 on the basic ones in the menectarun. Still knock you around, just not down if you save.
summoned one i tested too, seemed to do wel in menectarun. Tho i noticed the mummies he couldnt knock down, seems like SR blocks the knockdown. Not sure if thats the same on live.
and yea shows ur summons dmg in pop up numbers now too, and sometimes in combat log (not all summosn show in combat log tho, only some, and only for certain attacks)
He can put out some basic dps when he whirld around a mob at high speed.. Doesnt always do that tho, sometimes he just lays on top of a mob, or casts his crappy ball lightning.

Would be embarassing to see higher numbers than what you can produce yourself...
