We're pleased to bring you the penultimate batch of classleads from the 2017 first quarter. Here are the details:
Aeonics
-------
* An issue where you could follow someone out of a DISTORTED location with PREEMPT has been resolved.
Groves
------
* Skill with a quarterstaff is now based on whichever skill is higher: WEAPONRY or GROVES.
Runelore
--------
* The hugalaz runeblade formula has been adjusted. This may need further tweaks based on feedback.
Shadowmancy
-----------
* The damage/venom portion of scythe attacks are now subject to CLUMSINESS. The instill will hit regardless.
* REFLECTIONS now correctly block the venom from a scythe attack that hits them as well as the damage.
* DAGGERs no longer need to be wielded to ATTUNE.
* DICTATE now correctly respects shield.
* SHADOWS stored in a phylactery will now decay after 24 hours (actual hours, not on the day change). Shadows taken from a mutual ally (at the time of claiming) will not decay. This is not retroactive, so you'll want to claim your allies shadows again.
Shindo
------
* BLIZZARD has been adjusted - while it still freezes everyone in the room, it will now destroy heat vibrations and create a snowstorm effect in the location in place of its AoE damage.
Swashbuckling
- -----------
* We've refined the curve on ACCENTATO's damage scaling.
Tattoos
-------
* Attempting to TENTACLE someone who is not flying above you now incurs an equilibrium loss.
Terminus
--------
* The LONGEVITY research tree is now obtained earlier in the skill.
Misc
----
* Having the HEALTH INSPECTOR trait now removes the second and third person messages of ASSESS, to limit potential spam.
* We are moving back towards room hinders blocking flight, as I feel it causes more problems than it solves. Some classes will require changes to facilitate this as it is currently a balancing factor. As of this posting all room hinders except OCCULTISM TENTACLES, GROVES WILDGROWTH, and PHYSIOLOGY TORSO now hinder flight. This is purely a transitional step - those final three classes shall also gain this functionality, but certain changes need to take place first.
Enjoy!
