No lay hands update? With velious gear the current state of LoH is laughable. Not even a 40% heal on my paladin let alone a useful heal on a warrior.

Patch notes from jan 2001:

'Lay on Hands' has been improved starting at 40th level.

I'm curious about this one too, I didn't see it mentioned in Rogean's list. I will give it a try tonight to see if it is still using the sub lvl 40 calculation.

Wizzy AE snare (Atol's Spectral Shackles) broke with this patch. With 4 mobs stacked on top of each other, only the targeted mob gets snared. This is going to make Wiz life very difficult until it's fixed since nobody wants us in groups =\

what does
" Group XP is no longer averaged to compensate for XP Modifiers (Class Bonuses, Racial Bonuses/Penalties)."
mean?

does this mean races with xp penalties get more or less xp? I can't comprehend because I'm dumb.

Some classes had xp penalties (monk 20%, paladin 40%, etc) while others had bonus's (warrior +10% rogue +9%). In addition some races have penalties (iksar/troll 20%) while halflings have a bonus (+5%). In a group these penalties and bonus's were shared.

So if two people were grouped and killed a mob worth 100 xp, it would divide it up based on those things. For characters with no bonus or penalty it would be an even 50:50 split. But lets say one character had a 50% penalty, they'd get 75 points of the xp while the other player would get 25 points of the xp. Visually they would level at the same rate since the character with the penalty needs more xp for the same level.

Now all class penalties are gone. And racial bonus's and penalties aren't shared anymore. So halfling warriors are going to level even faster!

I see so halfling warriors will level even faster but be less beloved by groups who no longer share in their bonus? so penalty races will level slower, but at the same time be less hated... then again.. no one ever hated sharing the racial experience penalty just the class one... maybe I should reroll my ogres into halflings! thanks for the clear explanation!

I guess now I know why it felt like I was leveling slower on my warrior today... its because I actually was -_-

[mdogornone]

Consider me an out of the circle noob, but did he mean ALL class related xp penalties? or just certain ones?

[Rararboker]

ALL.

[wole9]

Does this affect the pet penalty for them dealing the majority of damage to a mob?
