[Natherul]

This was done this morning but the list was not compiled then

Natherul
- Terrible Embrace is now undefendable when used from behind.

Does the defense check happen at the end of the cast , or is it relevant what positioning ur target had from the start of the cast. I assume its the former but just asking out of curiousity.

The check is on the end of the cast

Suggestion: Make it undefendable if used from behind or from the sides. If it is only from behind and the check is made at the end, it gives your enemy a lot of time to just strafe (assuming he is kiting; in fact if he is kiting he will already be strafing). Besides, TE already has other counters (CC, Taunt, etc.). If your enemy is not kiting, he will never show his back to you in the first place.

Or you could just make the check at the start of the cast, rewarding those Maras who time it correctly (it can still be interrupted with the other tools i mentioned anyway).

- Terrible Embrace is now undefendable when used from behind......

If not, do you intend to do somethings for the WP and WH...not because compared to the mirror class ....
He says himself on the order side that the developers play on the destros

I dont even understand this post.

Either way I dont make balance decisions in general, Thats Torque. I did the change on his request.
And to add to that TE is not strength based so its a rather high chance to get disrupted, and it has a cast time...

This is a good change, as TE was largely ineffective against 50% of targets beforehand.

Was probably done to mirror Fetch avoidance check (parry 180 degrees, assuming "from the back" is a full 180 degrees as well). To be clear, I like the TE change.

Not to get into the WL/Mara discussion again, but Fetch has counters as well: CC, requires a pet in melee range of the target, etc. etc.

[jonspidy]

TE not only doesn't have min range requirement, but is now undefendable from behind? Nice.
Would be nice to see the lion get a small range buff on the fetch skill, something like 3ft or so.. 80% of the time the lion is on the target and you get spammed with "pet is out of range"
