Hotfix nerfs Coil of vile spawn

murphjp · 02-08-2008, 06:10 PM

A number of proc issues in which certain items would not proc, or would proc less, while others were equipped have been fixed. Fixed items include: Coil of Vile Spawn, Praetorïs Guard, Wristbands of Lost Knowledge, War Mantle of Rallos, Anaphylaxis quest rewards, and all items with regular or Lesser Soulsiphon.

Coil of the Vile Spawn
The max amount of damage and targets that can be affected by Larval Outbreak has been reduced. Larval Infection now has a 15% chance to trigger from hostile spells.

Yup the coil is juiceless now...only does a listed 1k AE now, and still has a big aggro radii that will pull rooms.

And man, when they said they'd fix the PG they meant it, I think they overcorrected because earlier I was proccing it almost every spell.

Seems like the only encounter that i have come accross that would be useful with this ring is the overking fight.. or maybe even PR where the mobs are small encounter. Anyone know the range of the ae? if it's really large maybe a good choice to use the as a pull for the add spiders in Thugga and then tank them.. yeah.. ok.. well my alt is a tank and i dont mind dieing in new ways.. lol

Last night the Praetors guard was procing just about every cast for me. However I did have a dirge in my group, but still it was very nice.

Seems to me that they "fixed" it already. They were supposed to "fix" the "fix" with this update today, but it seems to be the same for me. i hoping that i heard wrong, had all kinds of guildies saying to enjoy it yesterday while on the raid, but THANKFULLY it didn't get "fixed" like they "fixed" propagations...
