Server Patch Notes 20/07/2018

[Ugle]

Interesting AM/Shammy changed. Happy to see discussions being read by the devs. I reckon FodG is elemental damage like the rest of the shammy spells, not spirit damage?

Looking forward to test changes.

The new tactics doesnt show anywhere.
Also i'll take that dont work on movement with right mechanic points. Is this intendeed? because is a huge nerf.

Some of the changes will need a client push to work as intended. I pushed the serverside ahead of schedule as I wanted a nullref fix out as it was causing some rather big issues.

Expect a client patch soonish. (no ETA)

With the recent patch, Magus seems to be able to attack enemies through objects. In avelorn one basically hid behind a tree and cast spells right through it with impunity

hmmmm.... Thanks for all the work! Happy to see AM/Sham love. Will require much testing.

Much Waaagh! Time to Grind now....

Also, so far I can say that not being able to juggle is a very substantial nerf to a DPS AM's survivability. Before when you're in a position to do so, you would alternate between lifetapping a squishy dps and using Boon of Hysh to heal yourself. Your heals aren't very potent, but they are made at least effective because their cast time is significantly reduced. Now you will be often forced to self-heal without any force stacks because the enemy just jumps on you and given that you are forced to go with full intellect talismans, that means that you have this sort of lapse in time where you need to do anything at all just to gain another tranquility stack for a life-tap. That exact moment is basically 90% of the times when I die under enemy focus, whereas before, even without the various contribution effects and patches, I would have survived.

So far, it really doesn't feel very good. Certain squishy targets who would have recieved 1k+ damage crits from balance essence, and so would have healed me or my target for 1.5k, now heal me for 600-700 at best and crit for 600 damage on said targets. It really feels like a nerf specifically to DPS AM and a fairly brutal one at that. It's not exactly something that is considered for balance, but DPS AM's solo potential has also diminished significantly enough that I can't kill certain targets I would have been able to kill with ease before. So far it has not been a pleasant experience and I feel much weaker now than I did before last week's patch went live.

Balance essence/EoV are not castable on the move anymore. With either of the mechanic points, or without any.

Edit: EoV still only heals for 100% of damage done.

Because in spite of the patch notes the actual abilities that the patch notes reference have not been injected into the client yet.

So does that mean the the Renown bonuses and such wont be in until the server gets patched tonight?
