It looks like the new greens are random drops from specific types/classes of Peacekeepers, not just bosses. A few of them are up on the wiki, as well as other WiK items.

My GoK mission farm behind Oink's house now takes 15 minutes instead of 5 minutes per run because of the SA change. Also, it appears that EBSoH no longer boosts the damage output from SA.

I had this shield drop by a White Mantle Night while escorting Courier Falken.

Covah · May 22, 2010, 05:33 PM // 17:33

So these are just dropped by the quest White Mantle, not regular ones right?

I believe they only drop from White Mantle from the War in Kryta. So they don't have to be from quests, you can get them from the Watchtower Coast without any quests (or Courier Falken spawning).

The spawns change the more dialogue you view. Finish all the dialogue and the White Mantle should appear.

This makes me sad too

I wouldn't mind them being green...if their stats weren't so horrible!...(for my uses anyways).

Greens are more flavorful than gold. They also have more personnality than golds.
And if they weren't green, you couldn't say you're weilding Peace&Harmony.

Conjure frost MS/DB i guess it would be kind of awesome.

Activation Time Cap

* Items and skills that improve skill activation time can no longer stack higher than 25%. Single effects that improve skill activation over 25% can exceed this cap. (Fast Casting is not included in this cap.)

This makes me sad. It has very little effect on the majority of builds I use, but it kills an idea I had.

Skill-Related Changes

* Monsters in the Underworld and Fissure of Woe now have innate health regeneration in Hard Mode only.
* Monsters in the Underworld and Fissure of Woe now have reduced health totals in Hard Mode only.

Has anyone tested what this means specifically? It looks like they made hard mode easier.

15mp and 33% speed reduction? Somehow I still have a way to keep it manageable in spike builds. Sorry if this isn't the nerf you were hoping for.

It's enough.

Also, I fail to see how this new edenial meta is good for the game at all.

edenial is easy as hell to work around, it's psychic instability that's a bitch to play against.

So Earthquake:
25e 3c 15r
AoE nearby
causes exhaustion
deals damage
knocks down for 1 second(?)
not an elite skill

Psychic Instability:
5e <1/4c <12r
AoE nearby
no exhaustion
no damage
conditional (easy enough to meet though)
knocks down for 4 seconds
Elite skill

Earthshaker
8a
AoE adjacent
no exhaustion
no extra damage
unconditional
knocks down for 2 seconds
Elite skill

PI will definitely be nerfed, but when? And what were the test crewe and the designers thinking?

All knockdowns are 2 seconds unless it says otherwise.

Standard knock down duration is 2 seconds, so Earthquake will knock down for 2 seconds. Earthshaker Warriors who are not terrible and bad will wear Stonefist insignia, increasing the knockdown duration to 3 seconds.
