Patch Notes, Sunday Morning, February 14th, 2010

[Bakaris]

Charm was OPed, but this nerf is too much. 212 cha and charm dont last more than a few ticks on a blue con mob. If I am lucky a minute. Nerf is too harsh.

I have rechecked the charm calculations. One of the things to note, all mobs are not created equal. So as charm was back in classic, and on live for that matter, some mobs will be easy to charm. Some will be a nightmare. Use all the tools available, and experiment on different mobs, and you will find charm is still very useful. Just do not expect it to work the way it did, on just any mob you find.

thanks for fixing charm! I've been waiting for that update for a very long time, now maybe we can get some chanters in groups.

Guise of the Deceiver doesn't change faction with dark elves. Prepatch: i could use the guise and be non-kos, postpatch: neriak guards are still scowling

Chanter illussion doesnt work either, but maybe thats how it was in classic, what do i know.

[Voner]

Any changes that would block the use of ShowEQ or what ever it is that is used by higher end guilds to know the spawn time of boss mobs?

No, illusions worked in classic. its how a lot of players did quests and bought items (especially enchanters buying enchant bars spell down in neriak)

Necro charm is still broken. Tested it with cajole undead (level 49) on a light blue con spectre. It droped after 1 tick with 60 char.

Necro charm shouldn't be based on char but only on level and magic resistance.

2//4 of my charms (lvl46 chanter 200cha) lasted 15 min, full duration , even after tash wore off. I am happy with the fix/nerf.

Cool my charm now doesn't last long enough to cast Celerity on my pet with 231 CHA...
