    I thought the parry was only part of the Inquisition change, or did aura closing not go through as well?

    The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."

    You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

  • While I am sure not everybody will be happy with this change, the fact remains that they were a real problem. On the plus side, yay for alternative shrines.

    (I'm looking at you, Replenish and Allcure).

    Yeah... Come to think of it. You're right. Hrm.
  • Wasn't there talk about having it work similar to how the wounding changes were enacted? Am sure I read something about that. Too busy to go trawling reports at the moment.

    The shrines was a good change. Reading through the comments on the inquisition report was interesting. That has to be a record.

    Shield shrines also take up less space IIRC, and are less likely to be aggressivly defiled.

    And so began the great Shrine landgrab of 2013...

    I looked into the Aura closing and found that it already works that way (giving Infidel closes the heretic aura), so no change needed.

    Hrm, I must have misread the report, I thought the goal was to stop sacraments users stacking up off each other for fast Inqui by closing out the chain to only one person.

  • Personally, I'm more curious about to which level herb death was brought during hibernation. But I guess I'll have to keep an eye out in Glom to try to figure it out that way!

  • 1/15 chance.
  • Hmm. So roughly 18% will survive hibernation now. A very nice increase from how it used to be, thanks!

    Why it wasn't changed to work the same way sacrifice does is beyond me, considering both had the same problems with multiple Necro/Sacrement users being able to double up on it to quickly.

    So a report aimed at nerfing something instead went the other way and buffed an already too powerful skill. Why am I not surprised.

    ...what? So basically what you're saying is that the problem that the report was supposed to be addressing had solutions which were agreed upon due to misinformation? The focus of the report was to tone down group inquisition. If the proposed solutions in the revised report -were already how Inquisiton functioned-, then this report serves only one end: buffing Inquisition for Paladins. There has been no change to the problems of group Inquisiton. This is the problem the report was supposed to address. Instead, -it made it stronger-. If I'm incorrect, please correct me. Otherwise, I am VERY upset about this. Edit: My reaction here is due to the fact that there are no more chances to envoy this problem. The envoy posing this report was able to buff the thing that was meant to be nerfed with no chance of actually fixing the problem. The original report WOULD have fixed the problem. Since the report's problem was not even addressed in the solutions, is there any way we could try to, you know, address the problem that was posed?
    My apologies, there was a miscommunication. Infidel and Inquisition are now both locked into a single person, like crucify/sacrifice. The announce post has been updated to clarify this, as it was requested in Solution 1.

    And this is why you're breaking Lusternia.

    By leaving.

    I already miss you please don't go.

    (I know you have to, but we will think about you often.)

    The hekoskeri report of last month.  5 of every 12s is spent with sluggish. Attack once and its 6-8s off balance, then you can transfix!
