[Abilities]

Torquemadra

[White Lion]

Pet AOE immunity removed, replaced with -

Adjusted the value of direct damage splash against White Lion Pets. Targeted AOE with the PET as target will hit the pet for full value. Targeted AOE with the PET receiving SPLASH damage will result in a much reduced value of damage to the PET. None targeted AOEs such as Dissolving Mist, Demolition or Infernal Wave will always do reduced damage to the PET.

AOE dots do full damage to the PET again.

AOE CC will now function fully upon the PET again.

This allows for aoe placement of debuffs including detaunts/challanges snares and CC upon the pet without the pet being instagibbed in large scale RvR.

NOTE - There may be one or two AOE abilities I didnt flag/didnt flag correctly so please bugtracker any you find.

Could this be explained a bit further please? So, as a tank, I would gain more renown for being hit, guarding etc?

[gebajger]

Or as a dps healer?

[merkin]

" you are awarded more for playing objectives and your archetype now"

I'm retarded can someone explain this to me?

[Wam]

[RvR]

Natherul
- Added a cap on rr gain from a lord kill/keep take to 2000.

is that a minimum cap of 2k ... or is 2k maximum RR from keep?

[Fallenkezef]

It does seem a bit frustrating at times that the devs want us to play a certain way to gain contribution but are so vague on exactly what that is.

Cap, you cant get more then 2k

And for the contribution, no specifics but we are tuning so that primarily healers and tanks wont get shafted the same and overall tune where you get contribution from (this includes playing your archetype correctly)

EDIT:
As for vagueness, once the system is working fully and tuned we may tell exactly what it means, but for now its everchanging so going to be vague

[Wam]

ok cheers for answer

So less about damage and kills. I can understand encouraging capping BO's and fighting sieges. If you want the kills and damage, play SC's etc

If you were already getting kills, or in a group getting kills, that aspect was fine. Since tanks and healers tend to support those getting kills, we added more factors related to their archtype. So we're not taking away from any particular spec, just filling in some cracks.

Keep doing all the things, you'll be fine.
