Changelog 07/12/16

[Azarael]

[Open RvR]

Fixed an issue which could prevent a zone lock from completing successfully

[Combat and Careers]

General

Fixed an issue which would cause pets to continue to auto attack while channeling an ability (Gun Turret's Machine Gun, Spiked Squig's Spine Fling)

Engineer

The Gun Turret's Machine Gun ability now hits 4 times instead of 7. DPS remains the same.
The Gun Turret's range enhancement now matches that of the Engineer (40% max.)
The Flame Turret increases Dodge and Disrupt by a maximum of 32% rather than 48%.

Magus

The Blue Horror increases Dodge and Disrupt by a maximum of 32% rather than 48%.

[Grunbag]

[Aurandilaz]

Engineer

The Gun Turret's Machine Gun ability now hits 4 times instead of 7. DPS remains the same.
The Gun Turret's range enhancement now matches that of the Engineer (40% max.)

This means the turrets instead of hits 7 times, will hit 4 times but still doing same damage it was doing in 7, and the range in turrets is buffed with change from a 20% to 40%?

That mean the turret hits will be way more strong making more burst and less
mitigation, and reaching targets which are not armored for support this kind of damage burst, before they even reach theyr abilities range.

And squigh herder gets another fix in Pet, which can not autoattack while doing chain abilities like tourret ones, but in this case not geting any range buff or damage boost in Pet abilities.

Squigh herder class burst damage must be around levels of a t3 enginer... maybe a t2 one.

It's to reduce the number of procs from things like Flames of Rhuin. You can relax, it's a subtle nerf.

You cannot reason people out of a position that they did not reason themselves into.

[Sigimund]

Too true. I should really learn.

Wow that's actually very sensible and smart. I'm surprised.

No it means not, if Aza used the correct term, wich i assume he did.
DPS means "Damage per second" and not damage overall. Lets say it does 100 damage over 7 second every second = 100 dps (Total damage = 700). So if it hits only 4 times this means the overall damage is 400 and not 700.

To me looks like it is doing same damage in 4 hits instead of 7 ones, or that is what it looks like.
But maybe you are right and i missunderstand it.
