Hmm the description of Soul reaping has changed I think..

For Each point in SR, you gain 1 energy whenever a creature near you dies. You may only gain energy in this way 3 times every 15 seconds, You only gain energy from Spirits you control..

Be interesting to see how it plays out. For example if 3 things die within 5 seconds, you'll have 10 seconds to go before getting any more.

Seem to help SS Necs in PvE maybe

And hot news Some mesmer interupts now affect Shouts and chants. Power block is now super evil. Power leak, return and spike all seem to do the same thing.
FC now also affects signets.

Still Going thru the list tho..

Thats Us fixed in PvE then.

Mesmers can now FC signets. Epic.

Where's everyone seeing this?

Miral · Jun 07, 2007, 11:25 PM // 23:25

through in-game observations, I assume

3 times every 15 seconds? thats even worse! if it triggers 3 times while you're at full energy just before you unleash all your spells, you're out of luck for a while!

Bryant Again · Jun 07, 2007, 11:26 PM // 23:26

Oh snap at Shout interruptions...

And the SR change looks very, very interesting.

Miral · Jun 07, 2007, 11:27 PM // 23:27

which of course would mean some stealth updates, since notes only say this:

These are undocumented changes for those wondering.

jammerpa · Jun 07, 2007, 11:29 PM // 23:29

LOL @ Anet... it took them 2 months + to come up with this garbage for soul reaping? Lets see... if gaining nrg 1 time every 5 seconds wasnt good, lets try it 3 times every 15 seconds.. HAHAHAH.

It's rocket scientry I tell u... absolute rocket scientry! What will NASA do now that Anet has hired all their great minds to come up with a fix for soul reaping. LMFAO!

Puebert · Jun 07, 2007, 11:31 PM // 23:31

Thank god we can interrupt instant cast shouts.

Something else new. You cant go into HM in challenge missions, which makes Vanquishing Arborstone interesting(I.e you cant unless you use the corpse explot). Has to be a bug

countesscorpula · Jun 07, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

It says it interupts spells and chants. It says nothing about shouts.

Acehigh · Jun 07, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

I really love the mesmer interupt changes

Puebert · Jun 07, 2007, 11:39 PM // 23:39

@Shanaeri

I think it's there to prevent places like FA from being bugged.

I expect it to be fixed soon.

dopple · Jun 07, 2007, 11:39 PM // 23:39

I have seen some interupts now affect chants as well, but nowhere have I seen interupts for shouts (but I have not checked all skills). Shouts are pretty much instantaneous anyway.

wingzro · Jun 07, 2007, 11:42 PM // 23:42

Shouts are instantaneous, you can even do a shout when knocked down.

On behalf of the PvE'ers and PvP'ers, YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT!

Requesting funny pic of something doing something wrong.

Okay, rant over. It's "okay", but take out the "every 15 seconds" thing. No one asked for the 5 second thing, and will never really agree to that. Also, seeing as how Necros do not have any Spirits to summon from their line, it's a little bit too obviously pointed to PvP. I realize there are N/Rt's running around, but if you want to hit PvP, check out Ensign's Wishlist.

That's the most reasonal explanation, unless they don't want people farming points/etc in Hard Mode. In which case, lame.

Glad it fixed FA though, 26 Turtles was no fun.

icymanipulator · Jun 07, 2007, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Before anyone flips out, Soul Reaping is still on a 5 second timer. I just went to test this in Tasca's Demise with an FoC spike build. Its still on its crap nerf functionality.

LifeInfusion · Jun 07, 2007, 11:46 PM // 23:46

It's not bye paragons, as realistically you cannot interrupt shouts with 0 cast time. Chants were just icing.

BTW, I'm not understanding the SR change.
