Patch 1.11 Hotfixes

[Fencers]

Would agree the Mage and Cleric devs are the best.

ZInbik was really responsive a few months ago on the direction of Cleric tanking. And I think the Justicar soul is in a much better place than it's probably ever been. Icar sub specs notwithstanding. Natch.

[Slipmat]

This seems an unusual move, us Europeans get a hotfix over 12 hours ahead of North America? unless Amary slacked again with dates

Anyhow, lots more Soul tweaks, and more importantly an end to leechers and slackers taking up valuable spots in "ma IA !"

Everything in this hotfix displeases me. Do not enjoy.

[Primalthirst]

Ailion is probably the dev who interacts the most with players and takes their feedback on board. Just not on the OMGWTFQQBBQWHYNERFSABRANGERSOBADBARDSUCKSWARRIORSAREOPQQQQQQQ fest that is Official Forums.

I can understand that, 99% of the time discussion on there is about the quality of horse manure.

You can ask Primal I pleaded my case, but his argument that RB should be gut'd was granted. We will see after some parses are made. I have not logged on to check myself, but there are some interesting changes.

I see a Champ hybrid tree possibility.
