A list of less-than-obvious changes, both good and bad

[Blank_Zero]

Good Things:

# Monk
* Specific quest items can now be equipped without causing monks to become uncentered.I hope this means Abbot Items like Asteroids and Ice Wands?

# Rangers
* Rangers now receive Precise Shot for free at level 4.THANK YOU!

# Wizard
* Warforged Pale Masters are now immune to rust damage, from sources like Rust Monsters or deconstruct.Neat.


# Whirlwind Attack: now has a 5 second cooldown and deald +4[W] additional damage.OMG YES

# Combat Expertise: should now grant 15% bonus AC. Increases spell cooldowns to 3x normal.

# Many new prefix and suffix mutations can now appear. Go forth and discover them!
# New rare mutations can appear. These rare mutations can include multiple effects on one prefix or suffix. Go forth and discover them too!Can't Wait!



# The upgrade recipes for Toven's Hammer no longer refer to it as "Tobin's Hammer".Took ya long enough

# Numerous low-level spell buffs with a duration of 1/minute per caster level have had their durations changed: they are still 1/minute per caster level, but they now have a minimum of 5 minutes. This includes the animal stat buffs (such as Cat's Grace), Jump, Bless, Expeditious Retreat, nightshield, Protection from Evil, Ram's might, Shield, and Tumble.Sweet! No more extend EVER!

UI *all of it*YAY!



# Corrected a memory leak issue
# Optimized several game scripts and improved behavior between the server and client.
# Fixed a crashing issue when moving between quests or teleporting.
# Fixed a crashing issue that would occur when attempting to log out.
Thank god for ALL of that!

And now, the not so cool stuff.

Bad Things:

# Epic Dungeon Tokens are natives of the world of Eberron, and will not appear in the chests of Forgotten Realms.I don't get it. Why?

# Displacement is now a self buff.Seriously. Dafuq?

# Artificers are not receiving the 5th and final "Artificer Knowledge: Scrolls" feat at level 13, and are therefore not getting the +5 Caster Level to scrolls, wands, potions, and clickable abilities.At least it is a known issue, but

If you find anything else that you think is good/bad and doesn't seem to be getting enough focus, please post here.

Yes, I know about GS Decon. But it will have plenty of its own threads.

[Blank_Zero]

Didn't realize there was already a thread for this. DERP!

# Rangers
* Rangers now receive Precise Shot for free at level 4.THANK YOU!

i don't really see much reason they done this.. the only good seem to be encourage splashing build.. which may be a good thing after all.. if you ignore the epic stuff....

p.s. i was so hoping they might change manyshot into a stance or lower the cool down. but yet none of these have happen.. sigh...

UI might have been changed, but it still ****s over keyboard combat if the mouse is over something that is part of the UI, as it has for over six years.

It's annoying when you're trying to grab specific boss aggro from across the room and another mob gets in the way, like in LOB with the dogs or eDQ with the Efreeti.

yea.. ture.. but ranger have them free at 11.. they just move it to level 4.. and i take like 3 days for average player to level beyond 11 i think... so really this will only benefit multi classing toon.. which may not be very wise, since you can have free splashing in epic level.. as long as it is within 5..

That's the issue. So many people only splash ranger to 6.

Splash builds will love it sure, but it seems kind of silly to give rangers precise shot AND improved precise shot at the same level. Besides, it will certianly make levels 4-11 nicer for ranged Rangers, now that they can effectively whittle away a single target without clipping trash that gets in their way, or take out a caster in the back or whathaveyou.

This is my favorite thing ever. Especially for Expeditious retreat clickies. Angers step is 10 minutes of expeditious retreat, 15 miutes from any ol' min level 1expeditious clicky, and up to 25 minutes for a 5/5 clicky! And Expeditious gets you moving faster than striding 30% even Woo! Shield clickies will also be actually useful for certain MagicMissle laden areas of quests, or just as an ac buff

Yes. And Boss aggro! plus, it frees up a feat for the HElves Angel type builds to get IPS easier.

YES! All my clickies mean something now!

I do like the extension for the low level buffs. Kinda wish It scaled a bit better though so there's more incentive for non-clickie action to dip more than 2 caster levels if it wasn't a primary though. Think the last suggestion in that vein was something along the lines of 5 minutes +45 seconds/CL?
