That's a lot of fixes guys. Good job! Don't see anything about breeze though ;)

Your efforts are appreciated. Thank you all.

Kanras: Taunt will no longer work on mobs above 50

whats the thinking behind this ? i dont remember that being classic at all, i know there is a patch later into kunark to allow taunt to work on mobs of all levels but dont remember taunt not working on mobs above 50, thought it was just mobs of even con or above.

Hard enough to keep aggro sometimes as it is, nevermind without taunt.

Thanks for hard work guys, but how about giving us warriors a break :P

With Gem Encrusted Ring no longer dropping, i predict the price of them will skyrocket. ;)

Ringed mace of the ykesha as well.

I was always told kunark is the expansion that allowed warriors to also taunt yellow mobs, kinda confused by this change too.

Anyway, thanks for all the work!

As always, great job. A VIP back room dance is on me :)

No breeze? :(

Will the agro on tash, malosi and root no longer be so abnormally high to compensate?
