Holy SwordEvocation (Good spells)
Paladin 4
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Metamagic: Quicken
Range: Touch
Target: Self
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Cooldown: 3 seconds
Channels holy power to increase the effectiveness of your weapons. Any weapon you are wielding gains an additional +2 holy bonus to its enhancement value and +1[W]. The spell also gives a +1 Competence bonus to the threat range, and critical weapon multiplier of the weapon.
now adds +1(W). The spell now enhances the equipped weapon of the Paladin, and lasts one minute per level of Paladin.

is the crit multi supposed to be in? cos it's not applying to my khopesh, still at a *3 multi

also i assume the cleave enhancements are not supposed to qualify us for momentum swing? hehe, that would be a little too good

[Forul]

It looks like MRR is also reducing incoming healing

[Forul]

It also looks like instead of card crunchers not going into bags magical d20's arent

[Delacroix21]

The door to the dojo is gone, cant test without it. =(

Why wouldnt they qualify you for momentum swing? They should.


Basically you are paying enhancement points for feats as paladins are feat starved, seems fair to me.

Additionally, we will be wiping the character database of Lamannia with this update to allow fresh character copies.

**** it, Cordovan JUST said there would be no wipe 3 days ago. I was expecting the copy of my main to still be there, but now I just TRed him yesterday.

We've been talking about this and the current thought is to NOT do a character wipe for our Update 23 preview, coming soon^tm.

Well count me out for the preview, I'm not gonna run this at lv 1... Please try to be consistent with info.

Ummmm... you DO realize the test dojo will level you to 28 instantly right?

I was excited to see Update 23 was on Lamannia and we could see what is in store.

I jumped right into release notes to get all the info I could and first thing I saw was Epic Orchard of the Macabre.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the orchard. But I have played it a lot. I am really tired of getting rehashed content that we have played to death as an update. I scanned through the rest of the release notes but I can't say I actually read much because I really didn't care.

If I had a time machine, it would now be a tough choice whether I would go back in time and kill baby Hitler or the Producer who thought that rehashing old content as Epic was a valid form of "new content". ( Don't worry, that's hyperbole. The choice is actually obvious).

And all my gear won't be there cause the TR cache doesn't copy. So I'd have to burden my lv 1 toon on live with about 2-3 full inv tabs of unusable gear before copying it, then deal with the lack of item space for the whole life. No thanks.

Dojo door isn't there, can a dev come and place one there? thanks

It looks like MRR is also reducing incoming healing

yeah, my healing is greatly reduced too. for a sanity check i cast consecrate for a fixed hp heal tick, it was 97/tick with my tower shield on and 105 with my tower shield off. heal scroll was 112 with the tower shield and 121 with no shield

think i might need to halt my build testing there as with a 50% reduction in healing (102 MRR with shield) it's gonna be hard surviving in EE's to compare LD to DC!

gonna go tinker with some other bits

[moo_cow]

So thf and swf get melee power and twf gets nothing?

[KookieKobold]

The dojo door and the guide are now working as they should be!

[ReaperAlexEU]

is the crit multi supposed to be in? cos it's not applying to my khopesh, still at a *3 multi

crit multi seems to be working fine, just a display issue on the inventory readout.

many kobolds were harmed in the testing of this, though not in the water works so at least they wont remember

Yep its effecting positive healing as well, but thankfully not repair.


BTW did you know repair amp actually INCREASES rust damage from rusties etc.? Thats some bad coding there.

Hey I downloaded the test server and installed/updated and when i try to log in it gives me an error saying game data files cannot be opened. Check to see if they exist and that you can write to them.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to a different location only to have the same issue.
