Mass Unbreakable Forcefield - Costs 30 spell points, cooldown 3 minutes. For six seconds, your party takes -95% damage from all sources except for Untyped damage. Only works inside of dungeons

What exactly does "Only works inside of dungeons" mean? I assume it will not work in public areas such as Delera's Graveyard during Mabar event, but will it work in wilderness areas? Challenges?

"Shield Bash stuns in Vanguard now play their proper stun effects on targets."


What does this mean?

Coco clarified on Discord that this means the stun graphic. Previously you'd stun mobs and you wouldn't see them enter the stunned animation.

My guess is there were some weird interactions/bugs with people in public and not being in your party so you can only use it in locations where everyone around you has to be in your party (dungeons, wilderness, raids, challenges, etc...but not Mabar).

There is a significant change that we (I) unfortunately missed when making the release notes. I have now added it, but will post here for increased visibility:

The Sorceror Savant lines have been updated:

• Awaken Elemental Weakness in all four Sorcerer Savant trees has been updated. When cast on a creature that is immune to that tree's Element, it makes them vulnerable to that element for a short period of time.
• Elemental Apotheosis has been updated in all four Sorcerer Savant trees. When Elemental Apotheosis is active, casting a spell of that tree's element on a creature that is immune to that element, that creature becomes vulnerable to that element for a short time.

Are you guys running late?

Are you guys running late?

It's not 12pm EST yet.

[Sunnie]

Not as far as I can tell. Predicted time for the servers to go up again is in 50 minutes by my calculations.

Eastern time is -5 GMT. For some reason this has always been an issue for DDO announcements. It's only -4 GMT for a couple of weeks in the Spring/Fall each year. It's still only 11.12am on the East Coast

So Awaken Elemental Weakness for single target during leveling which has limited use due to cooldown, but ok with that.

Elemental Apotheosis AoE version once hit 20 sorcerer? Or does it only proc only on the targeted monster and not on those that are hit by AoE?
Either Way I might use Savant form more often over Aasimar Ascendant Bond as this make the 10% spell point cost more bearable in high reaper skulls.

Should put up the list of named items!

Where do you live? If you're in Europe but not in the UK chances are you're GMT +1.

this is something that electric artificers could really, really use.

The UK is currently GMT+1 due to daylight savings.


How I hate daylight savings.

That explains why, it is 4pm here on GMT but the game isn't up yet then, maybe they should post the correct times?

Errm as far as I know GMT never ever adjusts to daylight savings time, hence EST stays 4 hours from GMT for the duration. That Europe and US adjust to daylight savings at different days does not impact GMT and hence does not impact EST vs GMT difference.

Or am I way off?

Kind of agree with that being added to Arcane Empowerment capstone. The difference is Arcanotechnician Artificers have Repeater Xbow and Rune Arms of various damage types while Sorcerers are fairly weak and inefficient outside of their main element.

I cant do Grulemith in Trial by Fury or Kishnaurac in Deal with the Demon due to not having enough spell points to take them down unless Im able to find a party for it. Same reason Ive never run Riding the Storm Out on my Air Savant as Im totally useless against the Kor Kaza.

It's a little complex (of course!). UTC +1 which is adjusted GMT but yes daylight savings are in operation so the difference is currently 5 hours. Probably not worth wasting more forum space on though

You are correct, somewhat.

When daylight hits they move from EST to EDT, and do add an hour from GMT. EST doesn't change, but they move to EDT. EDT is 5 hours from GMT. GMT never changes. London moved to BST (GMT+1) on March 25.
