Update 57.1 Release Notes...

[Kotharsjach]

What was broken about it?
asking as the release notes don't say what is fixed about them.

Just to be clear on how it functioned, what was broken, and how it works now.

originally a added dmg bonus to any weapon strikes scaling with fire spell power/target HP.

turned into a imbue that would not activate - broken.

Is now a imbue that is exclusive with other imbue "stances".

In other words. It went from a universally useful minor buff that was applied automatically. To completely non-functional. To 90% useless.

I really can't imagine anyone using this...... basically ever. The only case to be made would be some class/build mix that doesn't have access to any imbues to begin with so maybe fighter? Who could also get it from drow. Anyone else is going to have access to a MUCH better imbue with minimal ap investment.

Definitely a nerf no two ways about it, I'm not really going to argue on if it's warranted or not. Instead, seeing how Wish for memories became a thing, can we get a racial cosmetic. I've resigned myself that the newest racial trees are going to have the best goodies, and anything decent from the old races that stands out is probably going to be nerfed into oblivion. I'm ok with that, i've moved on. But I really like having horns and a tail, giant lizard or cartoon cat....... not so much. A racial cosmetic might also be a great option for those who can't stand certain racial combat animations, shifter really grated on my nerves.

I get what you are saying- but if the only thing this patch did was “fix” the cool down on chaining attacks I would have taken it. Yeah other bug fixes matter… but this felt so bad on my barb I couldn’t stand it. My casters not as much due to existing cooldowns. Not sure what the behind the scenes work was that put it in, or what it toook take it back out again, just glad it is gone.

Exactly

Fixes have to be prioritized and with the broken of those cooldowns that was priority

Other fixes took years to get raid loot fixes other notes detail fixes which are still broken

It’s a favor reward so maybe it will be on higher priority but I don’t see it being higher that more game breaking problems

This reverts to the previous skill activation system rather than the one that debuted in Update 57. I don't - think - it will impact specific timing changes for specific skills that would have been captured as separate game changes.

When people start thinking then cows will fly

Why is there no festivault ?

Legendary Thirteen is now BTA.

I do not see this in the release notes, but it should be. I only noticed when going through inventory from a character that had it but did not need it and it was BTC, so I was originally unable to put it in the shared bank. I looted it the day before this update if memory is correct.

I just checked mine.

Confirmed!

EDIT: Nothing about fixing the 5 hitpoints you're supposed to get (but don't) for 150 favor from Morgrave University. Hmmm...

Apocrypha Shadow stance graphics continue to disappear after every zone event.

The changes are in and they are awful. Cocoon gone, replaced with Web. All the bad cookies still around pretty much. A second healing cookie (vigor) now as if healing potions are so rare and exciting....

Ah well... I was hoping that they would at least taste better this year.
