small patch considering jan patch has stuff like this



- The "Resistant" Discipline now lasts 5 minutes instead of the
previous 1.
- The "Holy Forge" Discipline now lasts 5 minutes instead of the
previous 2.
- The "Weaponshield" Discipline now lasts 20 seconds instead of the
previous 15.
- The "Leechcurse" Discipline now lasts 20 seconds instead of the
previous 15.
- The "Deftdance" Discipline now lasts 15 seconds instead of the
previous 10.
- The "Puretone" Discipline now lasts 4 minutes instead of the previous
2.
- The "Sanctification" discipline now lasts 15 seconds instead of the
previous 10.
- The "Unholy Aura" Discipline now gives a 50% bonus to Harmtouch
(compared with the previous 25%) and causes it to save versus disease,
which should result in even fewer resists in most high-level
encounters.
- "Lay on Hands" has been improved starting at 40th level.
- The "Summon Corpse" spell is now available to Shadowknights.
- "Harmtouch" is now resisted as if it were a "Lifetap" spell, meaning
that it is all-or-nothing, and nearly unresistable with exception to
encounters that are immune to magic or out of the acceptable level
range. In addition, maximum damage for Harmtouch has been increased
starting at 40th lev
- Melee attack timers will no longer be reset when a SK, Paladin, or
Ranger cast a spell. Previously these classes had to wait a full attack
delay after casting before they would attack via melee again.


wich seems has been ignored

This information has been given to attempt to make lifetaps "classic" i.e. proper in the past yet the standard rhetoric was given to why lifetaps are the way they are... hopefully now we are "at that spot" on the timeline we should see lifetaps moved to the above mentioned resists.

In velious the fact that SK's can essentially keep themselves alive during most encounters while others have to duck in and out make them more viable- this can only happen when lifetaps (as per above) are nigh unresistable - it also makes necro's able to lifetap burn their mana bars for dps rather than just be cool looking mana batteries.

Maybe this was already done, as I have not really been very active- and the raids I have done in ToV have been a odd mixed bag on the lifetapability of foes.

Looking forward to leechcurse being more useable and HT bombs coming into play...if they are not resisted...i.e. see above!

[Sallan]

Thank you for all the hard work

"Class XP Penalties have been removed."

Just curious if the above means classes with pets have had the pet xp penalty removed.

Did anyone check the spells? Maybe they were just added and not in the patch notes.
