    * 2.2 In-Progress Notes Set #3 - 1/25/13 *

    Not super long since the last set was 2 days ago.

    Set #1: http://forums.riftgame.com/public-te...1-17-13-a.html

    Set #2: http://forums.riftgame.com/public-te...1-23-13-a.html

    =====
    2.2 In-Progress Set #3

    SOULS

    CLERIC

    INQUISITOR
    * Nysyr's Rebuke: Damage reduced.
    * Scourge, Vex: Damage increased.
    * Spiritual Scrutiny: Now a 1-hour buff. Reduced the armor and resistance penetration it grants to 20%. Now reduces the casting time of Bolt of Judgment by 1.5 seconds.

    JUSTICAR
    * Mien of Leadership: Increases threat generation by 200%, down from 350%.
    * Increased the base threat generated by Justicar melee abilities.


    MAGE

    CHLOROMANCER
    * Essence Conversion: Corrected this ability improperly consuming stacks of Healing Balance.

    WARLOCK
    * Void Decimation: Now increases the damage of Void Bolt and Void Barrage by 2-10% for each of your Death-based damage over time effects on the target.


    WARRIOR

    PARAGON
    * Deadly Parity: Fixed a bug where Deadly Parity is incorrectly including weapon damage in the final damage calculation.

    TEMPEST
    * Empower: Now increases the damage of ranged attacks by 5%, down from 10%.
    * Electricity Cascade, Lightning Torrent: Damage reduced.
    * Polarization: Now increases the bonus on Enhanced Conductivity by 3-6%, down from 4-8%.

    ZONES

    CITY CORE
    * IA: Field Study: Fixed potential wrong assets spawning for groups of 10-14 characters.

    FROZEN TEMPEST
    * Crucia:
    - The projectile that creates Storm Cannons travels much faster, removing the risk of situations where there is no cannon to negate Exploding Tempest.
    - Characters dying on the second platform no longer create Scattered Storms.

    PELLADANE
    * Achievements: Chain of Command: Fixed Unuarangecon (... say that three times fast) counting toward a kill of Diocletian, interfering with completion of this achievement.


    ITEMS
    * The Bleeding Sky: Stats corrected - the 'old' version is now The Ancient Bleeding Sky and you can petition to trade it for the new DPS-oriented version if desired.
    * The set bonus "Rage of the Flamesire" has been fixed.
    * The Pet Yeti can now be loved by characters of all levels.
    * Strandling Spider is now Bind on Account.
    * Planar Jerkin, Shoulderblades of the Gorger, and Reinforced Planar Breasplate now have more Calling-appropriate stats.

    2.2 In-Progress Set #3 Notes are up

    Not really considering Spiritual Scrutiny is a 1 hour buff. The instant-cast BOJ is a bit gimmicky but it's replacing Waterjet since it hits harder during movement and will proc Life and Death Concord. And.. you can stack Scourge with Vex. Currently testing on the PTS to see what my DPS is like =]. Minor damage reduction to one thing but boosts to others might actually be for the best.

    Yeah I'm curious what sustained DPS looks like. Bursty short fights don't count. Keep me posted <3

    I'm hoping they stabilize dps on inquisitor and buff it to be competitive. It's why I started playing a cleric. It's simple and works well for me. I hate complicated rotations.

    I had dps drop from 12k down to 7k on my cleric in fights - dps is good for burst, but sucky for sustained.

    Depends on how you look at it, fixing the rng/sab exploit means that rogues will have to switch to mm/rng which means they will be doing less dps. /shrug

    Personally, I refuse to play rng/sab, the other rogues in my guild do though. The only time they really out DPS me by a large margin is if there is absolutely no target switching. Or, if we alter the strat a little to allow them to stay on one target the whole time. Even at those times, yeah, I am behind them, but I am beating the crap outta Clerics/Mages. If they do have to switch targets somewhat frequently, or in most 5-mans, I keep up with them on DPS.

    Uh, target swapping for RNG/Sab (61 Rng version) is actually good because your Spike Charge bleeds on your targets. If they're doing worse DPS target swapping, then they have been playing this spec wrong the entire time. Our Rogues utilize this spec and are always top DPS even during encounters where target swapping is required. Their DPS always goes higher on Regulos while target swapping between DPSing Regulos and Regulos' Eyes or Regulos' Spines. By the time Spike Charge falls off their previous target, whatever they swapped to is already dead and they're back on their main target like they never swapped.

    As the yearly celebration of your return arrives so does the great Carnival, it's back and bigger than ever - this time including a new seasonal version of Codex "Wheel of Fate"

    Join us on Friday, 2/8 @ 4:30PM Pacific on the Public Test shard to help us prepare for its release in Update 2.2!

    Those who come out and join us for this test might find a small, inflatable, regulos themed reward waiting for them in their mailbox a few days after the test.

    So now that we have your attention - what's the alt mode all about?

    • There is a 5th control point!
    • 4 of the objectives do not grant points when captured, instead they grant a team wide buff!
    • Holding any of these 4 for 3 minutes will lock it down for your team through the end of the match.
    • Holding the Codex still provides points and the amount has been increased, the team that does not control it earns bonus points for killing the enemy! (1pt with the Codex, 4pt without)
    • New useable item, the Wheel of Fate - spinning the wheel grants 1 of 6 different effects! 3 are good, and 3 are bad, and some of the good effects will help your entire team!
    • After 3 minutes cannons will activate near your base. These cannons help your team assault the codex, but be prepared for personal pain!
    • And of course, we decked it out in all the Carnival themed regalia!

    See you there and have fun!

    Sounds cool!

    There's a second test on the PTS tonight in about 3 hours of that Codex : Wheel of Fate alternative Warfront:

    2/12 Update 2.2 PTS Event - Codex: Wheel of Fate (Carnival of the Ascended Alt Mode)

    Hey all,

    It's time for Round 2 of the Codex: Wheel of Fate Alternate Warfront!

    We had a great time and thank you for all of your feedback on Friday. We've made a few changes and improvements based on your feedback

    Join us tomorrow, Tuesday February 12 @ 2:30PM Pacific (10:30PM GMT) for some more fun & feedback

    Meanwhile i was doing my usual snooping around on the PTS last night trying to check out new achievements like this one:



    As if on cue, up it pops a bit later



    It seems you get to be a party pooper and disrupt the Storm Legion's party by cracking some beer kegs, killing drakes and robbing lots of dragon balloons



    It seems to be an early test version though, completed all the zone objectives and nothing else happened so no boss screenies or anything

    What date did this event start last year? I've been playing a ton of games now that I'm max level in Rift, but want to make sure I focus on playing nonstop when this thing hits because I love Rift events and their rewards.
