Update - Thursday, September 8, 2011


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that allowed flash enchantments to be used while the player is knocked down or is using other skills.
Fixed a bug that caused "An Unwelcome Guest" to become unavailable after the player completes "Cleansing Zen Daijun."

Flux Changes
Massive Damage: added the following functionality: "Whenever you are healed, you are healed for 25% more."

fo reals?

Finally, something to at least make a crappy flux less crappy.

It's still the worst flux so far. Monks can now deal with eles better, but it's still all about melee/ eles spam. Necros, mesmers and the like got worse than they already were.

Couple of other things from guildwars site.

yes fo reals!!!
wasn't on wiki yet but on update page on guildwars.com

I guess I'll go monk in JQ then >=)

Aura of Restoration and Spirit Bond also got a boost here, so Mind Blast elementalists got the buff they needed.

Wait, that was a bug?

You're kidding, right?

I didn't think it was a bug but apparently anet believe it is. Here you go to read for yourself.

As per the big Dervish update on Feb 17th: "This new type of enchantment can be cast while moving and between attacks, but is otherwise identical to regular enchantment spells. They cannot be cast while knocked down or while activating other skills...".

Like we got used lately by ANet, when they got bored they are "fixing" some bugs. This one I think it was an enigma for them too till now.

For some reason I seem to remember not being able use them when KDed.
Did I fabricate that memory?

News to me. Guess attention needs to paid to the small print in updates too.

Oh and hey they tried to fix the shambles that is this flux.

Your memory's fine. They used to behave correctly (not be able to use while KD, etc.). A later update broke it.

Originally flash enchants were bugged to stop the player's movement if they were used whenever the player wasn't targeting an enemy. Presumably in trying to make them interrupt player actions less they made it work through a few things it shouldn't have been.

I feel bad for the guy who had to figure that out...

So this flux is now effectively healing being reduced by 5%?

12.8% reduction vs armor respecting damage, 25% bonus vs armor ignoring damage.

Only two bug fixes? I was expecting at least five or more.

As far as healing: 254+29 WoHs ...

makes monking a lot easier against triple eles

Feel bad for whoever got stuck with the "An Unwelcome Guest" bug before ...
