    Taken from: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=88313 I wanted a new animation Sad

    Items
    * Ruby Silver has now been properly named "Black Silver".
    * aparantly Increased prices on food/drinks from merchants.


    Classes

    Bear Shaman
    * Bear Shamans do not have "Wreck Armor", they have "Crush Armor" which has ranks I+II+III+IV. "Crush Armor" animation has no change, for this reason.

    Guardian
    * "Overreach" now has an addition to its animation.

    Assassin
    * "Kidney Shot" CD removed/missing. (Lotus Spec)

    Comfirmed and/or Ongoing Bugs
    * Gems still do not appear on the Trader after being searched for.
    * Guild members having problems stacking resources in the bank. These have to be removed, stacked in one's own bag and then placed back into the bank
    * Players that have previously completed the ritual to remove the Mark of Acheron still bear the mark.

    Possible Bugs/issues
    * Stats have increased DPS, Spell Damage and Stamina/Mana Regeneration. However, it's a very small adjustment, and might not be noticed by all players.

    Added a basic guide to how the Necromancer feat tree has changed.

    Necromancer Feat Tree change Notes:

    REANIMATION TREE

    Unholy Fortitude and Grim Hunger
    These feats have been switched around in positions, which while it makes sense regarding the later feats in what is now the Unholy Fortitude feat line, has serious implications upon the spell damage build due to having to spend 5 more feat points to get Grim Hunger.

    Improved Parasitic Souls
    This feat has also been shifted up from tier 3 to tier 4 which also hurts the aoe spell power build, albeit not as seriously as the Grim Hunger change.

    NIGHTFALL TREE

    Despoil the Soul
    Has been shifted down to a tier 3 feat, this has been promised and was a change we knew was coming. Overall this is a good change and one much needed.

    Flesh of the Wight and Blasphemed Flesh
    FotW has been shifted down to a tier 3 feat, while its followup has been shifted down to a tier 5 feat. Unexpected but will help a lot of builds by offering a relatively easily accessible boost to mage shields. For one point you cant go too far wrong.

    Mark of the Devourer
    This is where everything really starts going tits up. MotD has been shifted up a tier to a tier 4 feat and still does not offer any benefit beyond the first point invested. By itself not a particularly big concern, but it has knock on effects right throughout the tree.

    Unholy Inspiration
    The knock on effect continues as Unholy Inspiration gets knocked up a level to a tier 6 feat. This feat was fairly sub par anyway as a tier 4 feat, but was appealing to a reanimation heavy build. Likely to be ignored a lot now by reanimation necros and ignored by all nightfall necros as they use despoil the soul instead.

    Death Eater
    This feat has been brought down from a tier 7 to a tier 5 feat. The logic behind this is to probably give One with Death necros an option to be able to pump up their HP when necessary by eating one of their pets and resummoning. Otherwise ignored by Nightfall necros.

    Ravenous Souls
    This feat has been pushed up from tier 5 to tier 6. Not really sure what the logic behind this change is, it used to fill in a useful role in tier 5 as a good filler talent. Not sure it can perform the same role in tier 6 but will have to see.

    Soul Absorption
    This feat has been pushed up from tier 6 to tier 7. Again I do not know entirely what the logic behind this change was, but it is making the top end of the tree extremely cluttered with points you will want to spend.

    Embrace Death
    What were Funcom thinking when they moved this not only to tier 7, but as a prerequisite to Plagued Heart Curse, which itself is the new prerequisite for Ritual of the Lich. Any feat that only comes into play when you have killed something instead of while you are trying to kill it will almost always be ignored. The benefit from this feat would have to be massive for anyone to even consider lich form anymore.

    Plagued Heart Curse and Wretched Heart Curse
    This has been shifted up to tier 8 and is the new prerequisite to Ritual of the Lich. Wretched Heart Curse has also subsequently been pushed up to tier 8 as a result. Patch notes promised additional damage on Plagued Heart Curse (I had 5 points in it before the patch) but the damage on it appears to be same as it was pre patch. I will have to compare damage values before and after resetting feat points.


    new items:

    Quests
    * New quest for the 5th villa is available (Villa Camillus)
    * Boosted exp from the other villas a lot (at least villa verde, to 33k)

    *Update* http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?p=969573#post969573

    "new item updates:

    Possible Bugs/issues- Need comfirmation
    * Stats seem to only barely be affecting damage output, and appear still broken in other areas, mostly defensive characteristics of the stats are not being applied.
    * Necros have had their feat trees rearranged in both Nightfall and Reanimation to quite some degree."

    Krazymagic is reporting necros have gotten an amazing boost in damage, double and even triple in some spells. here is the post.

    "Some nice info for Necro's being reported. DPS has been scaled up significantly for necro's in this patch:


    The DoT on Freeze is now ticking for 30-40, instead of 13-14.

    ~140 Flesh of Worms ticks, rather than 50-60.

    ~210-270 avg Pestilential Blast ticks instead of the old <100.

    800+ ticks on Parasitic Soul Swarm with 3x Embrace Death active. Without Embrace Death, I was getting around 500-600, compared to 100-200, (max 300, with the right buffs) yesterday.

    Decay hitting for 400-700, even hitting 800-900 in places, instead of the old 100-200.

    ~300 Life Strike, slightly higher ~330 with Ice Strike (and Vile Insight)


    Blasphemous Ruin is now a yummy ~310 a hit, instead of ~150.


    And oh my, the crits on everything (including DoTs) are enough to make my heart skip a beat!"

    If this is true and my two gathering villas are still bugged w/o no respawn, I could possibly have ~66k in only minutes... What a Face

    Thanks for the updates. I hadn't checked out the undocumented ones yet.

    So I see all the Necro buffs as a good thing, even though I'm not a Necro. Maybe they are going to upgrade classes instead of nerfing them into nothing. Now I know they have already hit some classes with nerfs. Honestly though it seems to me there are more upgrades than nerfs. Maybe those nerfed skills will slowly be brought back up to a good level. Who knows. I'm still holding out on my rez skill to work again. Hasn't worked in days.
