I'm curious if the goon guild has people playing in Australian prime time or if it is better for me to just stick with the Oceanic server.

Apparently Exploit-EU have been testing 2.4 content, Volan is in one of the 20 man's.

Cant find any real proof about it, but considering that air rift that opens as he dies, i figured Volan would be back for another go at it. Hope its true!

Is it normal to win 500 Inscribed Sourcestone in one shot off a zone invasion boss?

Daerc posted:

Yeah, ISS were scaled up 50x, so that's the equivalent of what used to be 10. Certain things have been scaled up and down further (like the now useless raid rifts).

[*]CHLOROMANCER
The Chloromancer is still a soul that heals through dealing damage. Previously this healing was done as a percentage of the damage dealt. With this update, the healing is done based on the base cast time of the spell dealing damage. If an effect reduces the cast time of an ability it will still trigger healing based on the original cast time of the ability and not the modified cast time. The Chloromancer will still need to deal damage in order to trigger the healing from their Veils, but that healing will not be based on the amount of damage done. Life damage will still heal for more and AoE spells continue to be less efficient in the healing they provide. Ranged healing soul with a focus on single target or AoE.

According to this, DoTs are a waste of time for chloro spec, right?

Zoness posted:

No, that's not really the case, if you're talking about the talents that cause your spores to apply dots or Corrosive Spores.

I'm not sure about Withering Vine's interaction with veils but it has its own built-in heal. Meanwhile Corrosive Spores, another instant-cast DoT, is a very strong heal.

Other DoTs are tied to cast-time abilities. Basically most damaging abilities in chloromancer interact well with veils, while life-based damage in Harbinger that's instant will generally heal for less on veils.

They mentioned it on the stream when they were splitting the NA into 2 clusters, but I think they're supposed to show up as actual black and white instead of kind of grayish.

Are those warrior changes nerfs or buffs after taking into account damage mods?
