-Fixed a bug that caused the Monk skills Spotless Mind and Spotless Soul to removes hexes/conditions after the enchantment had been removed.
-Fixed a bug that prevented healing bonuses/penalties (such as Healer's Covenant) from affecting Patient Spirit.

Though this effects TA meta more than anything I thought it worth posting.
This will have minimal impact on PvE HC builds, still something worth knowing.

Yeah, I liked the combo for monk heroes as an alternative to the N/Rts. Back to them I suppose.

On the other hand, Patient->Kiss on Healer's Boon is wicked.

Tried it today and it didn't pay off too well. In order for it not to end up as a massive overheal, I had to let people get so low on health that I was not at all comfortable spending a second casting (+aftercasting) patient spirit before hitting an immediate heal.

If I cared to be carrying around a third straight heal, it might find a place on my HBoon bars, but I can't really justify doing that.

On an unrelated note, first time seriously playing my monk since HealParty nerf. Ouch. I'm seriously looking at Heaven's Delight or even Healing Ribbon as a replacement. First LoD, and now this.

Finally, anyone know exactly what the spotless updates did?

Basically, they were bugged - if you were enchanted with a Spotless spell, but had it shattered, then you'd still continue to lose hexes/conditions as though you had the enchant on you. This got fixed.

But you still get the extra hex lost on the end?

We were running a HC monk in TA last night just after the updates. As a smite monk, I couldn't figure out why the HC guy couldn't push red bars up very well. Now I know, apparently she didn't look at the numbers popping up

.

It's not a big deal for PvE, HC was more of a neat trick to run as a change of pace. I switched my monk hero over to a boonsmite, it's pretty nice with the new reversal of damage. Sadly, they don't use smiter's boon at all.
