Here's a quick look at what will affect us.

Two handed weapons now do slightly more damage
Smite Evil should now work on evil pets.
Group Armament achievement renamed Raid Armament: Affects all non-fighters in the entire raid.
Doom Judgement - Damage bonus increased from 5% to 7% per rank.
Spell lines from the Bloodlines Chronicles have been tuned to become more comparable in desirability relative to other spell lines
The following Fighter group buffs now affect all raid allies: Paladin: Vigor of Trust
Intercept: If the ally is lower than 50% health when this ability is cast, the Fighter can absorb two hits instead of one.
Crusader - Doom Judgement - Improved reuse speed from 5 minutes to 2 minutes.

the only one I don't like is the intercept one... that could spell alot of trouble for intercepting tanks...

I like the intercept one personally. Intercept at Master 1 is a free stoneskin for the person you place it on. Now it's 2 free stoneskins if the tank is under 50% which is usually the only time I really bother using it. Of course, if you have a brawler doing it along with another warrior, your looking at 6 stoneskins. It'll only suck on really tough fights when an AE will go off in your face moments after the intercepts take effect.

I am pretty sure intercede doesnt stack, I noticed this when Me and a zerker both interceded before a pull and there was only 1 Intercede Icon under the mt's name, Maybe I couldn't see the other one. But ya I agree this change rocks hard. And its nice to see doom judgement on a recast of 2 mins and damaged up'd to 35% if I decide to spec it which I am not sure i will.

Pretty certain they don't stack as they are the same spells as much as any spell doesn;t stack.

Interested in ther 2handed changes tho... given crusaders are the only ones who use a two hander these days wonder how much this will affect our parses.

On test, my avatar axe was 100-566 damage at 111 DR. On live the damage was 95-533.

No Intercede doesn't stack. You can chain cast it.

Jalathan · 08-31-2007, 10:05 AM

so a little better spread and a little more damage to boot. I need to check Jal and see what his are as well.

Lol how funny noone actually said anything about Doom Judgment, even if it's a low dmg AE, but the change on the timer helps more with the extra debuff, it's not like im going down the AAs for the dmg increase

That's b/c it wasn't a very good spell to begn with and if its cast time was anything longer than 0.5s it woudl have been removed from my hotbars a long time ago :P

was on test yesterday and saw they had added 'Vampires' to my list of Masterstrikes; someone mentioned we are getting credit for having finished the 'Bloodline Chronicles' adventure pack (replaces the outdated 'Corpsecrush' CA). I assume scouts will have something similar?
