Shields on the PvP character creation screen with the “while Hexed” bonus now have +60 Health and -3 damage reduction.

This is a great update! But I'd like to know if I can get a shield like the PVP one above in PVE.

Lichtenberg · Mar 03, 2006, 06:41 AM // 06:41

Added two +30 Health, Received Damage -5 (Chance: 20%) shields to the PvP character creation screen; updated monster drops to make the Received Damage -5 (Chance: 20%) drop possible.

NICE

Removed chests from Dreadnought’s Drift and Ice Floe.

never knew the one in Ice Flow was real...

Anyone know how the farming nerf effects the Necromancer's Path quest yet?

Studio Ghibli · Mar 03, 2006, 06:43 AM // 06:43

Well of the Profane.

Roffle.

# Kepkhet Marrowfeast, Queen of the Scarabs, has brought her brood to the desert, drawn by the plentiful corpses of griffon, minotaur, and even other scarabs. The insect brood now infests the "Prophets Path," so travelers be warned!

LMAO! They really did it by making up a story that necro would be around it. I certainly forgot that GW is "time-based".

The Tyria 3 years later, going to be a very different Tyria maybe.

Crevic · Mar 03, 2006, 06:43 AM // 06:43

XD on the scarabs killing of griffons

Griffon farming nerfed?

Marrow Scarab and Scarab Nest Builder will be first new spawns you will see outside of Augury Rock on Prophet's Path.

Scarab Nest Builder lays traps... Dust, Barbed, and Flame Traps.

Marrow Scarab's are necro type. They cast the elite 'Virulence' as well as 'Well of the Profane'. While you are running WoP might not be an issue but once corpses start mounting up, that well will strip your enchantments good.

As for the Queen, I don't know where she is, I am not familiar with the farming path to try and find her.

I was surprise to see Eviscerate get an Adrenaline increase... was that possibly because of the skill popularity in Ettin farming?

Vampire version steals life for you. That is the difference.

T1Cybernetic · Mar 03, 2006, 06:45 AM // 06:45

Awesome, gotta love the sword warrior updates, just remade my warrior so im very
happy indeed! and the other updates are nothing to sniff at either, great job really!!

angshuman · Mar 03, 2006, 06:46 AM // 06:46

Mantra of Resolve was royally screwed. The buffs are nice, albeit a bit too mild.

Vermilion Okeanos · Mar 03, 2006, 06:47 AM // 06:47

Oh yea, anyone get to see what did the top guild actually win? pic plz

Effendi Westland · Mar 03, 2006, 06:47 AM // 06:47

[QUOTE=Studio Ghibli]1). Order of the Vampire: no longer triggers if you have other Necromancer Enchantments on you.

.. so you can no longer use vampire and pain?

Nor blood renewal before you start saccing life

alphabull · Mar 03, 2006, 06:48 AM // 06:48

Most of these sound good to me, can't wait to get home from work and play my ele. see how some of the changes effect my skill set.

Enough of a difference to warrant taking your elite spot? I think not.

Sigh... Look forward to being more creative now. I do like how they brought the story line to hay, we just altered the #1 one farm spot and tied it to the sheer bodies killed in that region

They Ice Floe one didnt hold any items. Rather it was a trap. If you open it up a LOT of Azures (usually included the Azure Monk Boss) spawn around you and pretty much kill you.

Nerdy · Mar 03, 2006, 06:55 AM // 06:55

Ok, lets take a look at IWAY then and how exactly it's been affected:

Fixed a bug that allowed attack speeds to stack past 33%.

Eviscerate: increased adrenaline cost to 8 swings.

"I will avenge you!": reduced attack speed to 25%; fixed a bug that caused this skill to trigger off of dead ally minions.

Heal Party: increased recharge time to 2 seconds.

Order of the Vampire: no longer triggers if you have other Necromancer Enchantments on you.

Dust Trap: reduced Blindness duration to 3..8 seconds.

Reduced the Lieutenant's Helm Hex duration bonus to 20%, and added it to the PvP character creation screen.

This doesn't look the end of IWAY to me, although it doesn't look quite as attractive now.

As for my boon monk however...........

You can use vampire and pain but vampire will remain useless while pain or any other necromancer enchantment is active on you. Orders have affect to all party members so only those who have other necromancer enchantments, will not gain benefits from order of the vampire.

So using blood renewal with order of the vampire, will only disable vampire on you, not in all party members. Order necromancers doesn't deal physical damage anyway so it doesn't matter.
