Patches are only server side atm. You don't need to update anything.

No ICD on BW/Sorc buffs?

45 sec CD isn't really that much of a nerf if at all. Your entire group is going into battle with these buffs on, meaning the CD isn't going to effect the 1st re application. And from my experience playing in these types of groups you really don't rebuff that much unless you were playing against a pre nerf shatter confidence kotbs.

Also if the ICD are tied to individual players rather then the receiving player or group wide I don't think this is going to be much of a nerf. The big thing about procs was it was essentially doubling tanks damage, and you have 4 sources of procs raining in on 1 focus target for insane damage. While you did focus on building the party around something like a DPS DoK that has fast AA's with haste, proc groups can easily adapt or not change at all and still be king.

Eh? Sorcerer and Bright Wizard change is...eh?
Putting that aside...It's nice to have a new pug sc, but a 24 v 24 makes it easier for full premades to invade the sc.

I know you've only been doing competitive PvP for about a day and, as of late, think yourself God's gift to the game, but any decent premade would agree that procs needed to be dealt with.

[Dabbart]

Awesome! Tons of awesome changes.

Thanks to the team.

Me likey talk of client patching....

And to norkalis point, I disagree. Put in the updates when there is time to check/fix them. Having an update put in right before everyone goes to sleep is nice in a way, but if there is any issue or bug, it just sits until someone wakes up.

Obviously, input updates and patches whenever the dev/gm team finds it the most convenient. Just a point.

Let's see how it plays out. I don't like the mechanics of the major procs that were changed in this patch, and would much prefer them to be rooted in the user's original DPS / attack power somehow, such that any of the major group procs deals x% of the damage of the strike that triggered it. However, that's a more major change, as it would prevent fast weapons and dual wield from being abused, as well as neutralizing the offense of low attack characters.

You guys do what you gotta do when you gotta do it. When ppl are forking over coin to play then maybe they have a right to bitch and moan. The rest of us are just grateful as can be to have WH back in our lives and know it is because of the efforts of a hard working group of dedicated volunteers.
