Update - Thursday January 31
Hero AI

Improved Hero AI for the Monk skill, Holy Veil.
Improved Hero AI for the Elementalist skill, Vapor Blade.
Improved Hero AI for the Mesmer skill, Drain Delusions.
Improved Hero AI for the Assassin skill, Mark of Death.
Improved Hero AI for the Assassin skill, Augury of Death.

Miscellaneous

Charr Bladestorms found in Guild Wars: Eye of the North now wield swords instead of axes to match their equipped skills.
Damned Crewmen in the Shards of Orr now have Clamor of Souls instead of Destructive Was Glaive to remedy large spike damage that occurs when these creatures disappear during final boss encounter.
Updated Automated Tournament map rotations.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug in Eye of the North that could allow players to accept the Smell of Titan in the Morning quest before saving Captain Langmar, thus preventing these players from turning the quest in when completed.
Fixed a bug with some male player armor combinations involving Chaos Gloves, Glacial Gauntlets, Destroyer Gauntlets, and Stone Gauntlets that could leave a gap at the left elbow.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I feel that the AI used Holy Veil well before. Was there something wrong?

Otherwise, nice patch.

This time around you read that memo about changing the AT rotation, only this time it even better suits imba(sin-inept), among other things you've proven that you really do care more about HB's, guess those sin secondaries will really mop the floor with augury this time.

Added some elaboration.
Had my cup of sarcasm a tad late today.

I agree. Holy Veil was awesome on monk heros before. They would use it as a hex removal like they are supposed to (cast it and then instantly remove it). Because of the fast reaction time to deactive enchantments, they did it better then a human monk.

Do they like... preprot with it now? In which case that probablly works worse then before.

How about updating Pious Assault AI? Heroes won't use this skill unless they have an enchantment on them, even though the skill is more beneficial when they DON'T have one.

They only used it on other allies, not themselves.

Er, if you're putting Veil on your heroes and they're using it as just spot hex removal, without taking advantage of the pre-casting part...isn't remove hex strictly better? 5-1-12 vs 5-1-8. I see no reason to put Holy Veil on your hero if he doesn't know how to use it properly.

Just like Dismiss Condition, I wonder why that wasn't changed either.
