Ohai!

[Megasis]

ahh why not, First page

Hey, I was on the first page... The forum Monster ate my babies!

[nerfedgimp]

good changes for traders...the tear buckets will be disappointed me thinks

Oh well, the colors still make some eyes water ;P

[Shareida]

First impression:

Haggler "not self" tag.
Health plunder line Supposed to take its place, gained a massive boost.

Divest/plunder scales depending on target level+tuned down by 50%.
Negative effect 15 seconds, positive 10 mins.
AC debuff/drain lines somehow merged+giving massive crit%
Both lines upping crit by 45% together. If i saw that right. We also gain the biggest AC buff currently ingame. (7k+)
Wrangles do not seem to lower our skills anymore.
Plagiarize line drains 5k+ nano with 100% recover.


Interesting changes, lots of them. Would have to seem them in a real encounter to see what it's worth.

P.S.: I saw some meddling with the Associate nano. Can't really tell what is going on there.

[Ruffixx]

Hurry on over to North America!

[Ekarona]

So wrangles are missing tradeskills? Eng nerf?

[SoapTarder]

^^ but comp tradeskills is not self only apparently, so its all good.

edit** oh, i see what you mean... oh well, bye bye engi twink i guess...

[bitnykk]

oh, i see what you mean... oh well, bye bye engi twink i guess...

That will depend on new engi pet requirements & what's possible on EE/ME ; from that, FC might change it so it becomes lesser then twinked + Mochies + Wrangler as now.

[Agarwaen]

I hope this notes are a Bad Joke, else Traders would be a Victims like after SL launch...

[Blumax]

Umm, why trader nanos won't require tradeskills to cast like engis? Or are engis supposed to be only tradeskillers while traders don't have enough IPs to max nanoskills, tradeskills and combat skills?

[haavarst]

+45% crit? heh thats what you can call a boost! Except drains that are heavily op traders got an overall boost, well done.

[swedoc]

I belive Major Armor Distributor gives your TEAM more ac and 15% while LOWERING YOUR AC + giving you -15% crit, so in total we really only gain 8% crit (30% from Abolish Polonium vs 12+12 from former drains)

If the change hits life before november can we get a class change token? I would like to play an engineer.

Cooldown on drains is too short.

[lainbr]

Dear Devs,

I have a fr00b trader, that I enjoy so much. So... WHY NERF HEAL DRAIN?! ;x

Go organize Drain Other Heal like propelly ;o

[Marshalart]

Soo... now theres no single target wrangles? So basically, traders have to team to wrangle someone? Thats stupid, wrangles didn't need changing, leave them be...

Check the docs. ->

Every Team buff is changed to buff the targets team meaning you can target whomever and it'll buff his entire team not yours. If he is solo.. it'll buff just him.

[Saetos]

Check the docs. ->

Oh damn, good catch. I shall add that! And requote it too!

[XenonDe]

Oh, I appreciate the notion but you really don't have to quote me in full. Quick note under the wrangles section about the team wrangles being castable on the target/the targets team should be plenty and keep your info post tidy.
