Deployment History

• November 12, 2010 - released to Test Center shard.

Partial Notes

Magery

Magic Reflection:

• The Magic Reflection spell will once again be enhanced to provide additional tactical options in player versus player combat. At this time, any targeted non AoE spell, regardless of its circle, can be reflected(excluding Bards). This change will add variety and additional tactical options when fighting a character who has cast magic reflect.

• When a player casts magic reflect they will receive a pool of reflection power which is based off of their Magery, Inscription, and scaled by their Magic Resistance.

• The level of the spell cast on a target will remove power for the targets reflection pool. The more powerful the spell you cast, the better chance you have of defeating the magic reflection.

• If the spell is not successful in bringing down the magic reflect, the spell will be reflected back to the caster.

• Once a spell is cast that succeeds in bringing down the reflect spell, it will damage the target. This is true even if the first spell cast successfully breaks the reflect.

• Once a reflect is broken, there is a 30 second delay before the target can cast reflect again.

• Items of reflection will take 60 seconds to charge.

• After equipping a reflect item there will be a 60 second delay before the reflect is active.

• This will use only one charge from the item.

• The reflect will act in the same manner as if it had been cast by the character wearing the item.

• Once the reflect is broken, the wearer must wait 60 seconds before the item will place another reflect spell.

Ninjitsu

Death Strike:

• Damage has been split into two parts (Direct/Physical) verses players.
  • All damage over 35 direct damage will be treated as physical damage.
• Tracking damage bonus now provides additional damage based on player Detect Hidden skill verses players.

Hide/Invis Vs Detect Hidden

• Hidden players who have been detected will not be able to rehide/invis for duration based on their Hiding skill or Magery skill.

Lumberjacking:

• At GM Lumberjacking players will have a 5% chance to double their Lumberjacking Damage Bonus of 60% from base weapon damage.

Mysticism

Cleansing Winds:

Curses

• Cleansing Winds now factors in Curses, no longer based on chance.
  • Each Curse reduces healing by 3 points + 1% per curse level
  • Curse Power = the Total levels of all curses in effect
    • Example: Curse = Level 4, then Max Heal reduced by 12. Then by further 4%

Poison

• Poison reduces healing factor by 15% per level of poison.
  • Example: 120/120 Max Cleansing Winds has 80% Cure rate on DP. 64% on Lethal.
  • Healing Stone:
    • 21% Cure rate on Deadly Poison
    • 17% Cure rate on Lethal Poison

Spell Plague:

• Now Triggers only on Spell Damage
• Chance to Trigger is reduced by 3% per 10 points in magic resist above 70
• 30/60/90 -> 21, 51, 81 @ 100 resist -> 15,45,75 at 120 resist
• Base Damage lowered by 3 for each explosion

• Innocent players can now damage primary targeted Innocent player with an area of effect spell.

• Hit Mana Drain and Hit Fatigue should now correctly drain 20% of the damage given from the targets mana or stamina.

• Corrected damage calculation of special move: Nerve Strike to work as intended.
