Update - Friday March 3

Fixed the following newly introduced bugs:
  • The skill Bull's Charge was knocking down moving foes when used with any type of weapon, not only with melee weapons.
  • The skill Fevered Dreams was incorrectly spreading Conditions to allies of both the caster and target, rather than just enemies of the caster as specified in the skill description.
  • The skill Warrior's Endurance did not correctly match its description in the update notes.
  • Monsters were not responding to damage taken from the skill Balthazar's Aura.
  • Certain elite skills, such as Peace and Harmony and Blood is Power, could not be captured using a Signet of Capture.
  • Kepkhet Marrowfeast was neglecting to guard her nest.
  • The Party Window was periodically failing to display certain team allies such as Bodyguards.
  • The Skill Monitor was not correctly displaying skill interruption.

I figured that ANet hadn't intended for Kepkhet to be pulled out of her nest that easily (even mentioned it last night). Just didn't seem right. Hell, you didn't even have to pull her - she'd come right to you.

An easy way to solo her was to.. well.. pull her out of her nest and have her aggro the griffon bosses.

Throw in a minotaur and one of those interrupting scorpion things.. ;P

Well, you can still lure her from the nest. I copy pasted few texts from the latest update to the screenshot.

I had masive problems with Sanctum Cay last night. AND there was a level 18 ritualist there! I didnt think those were in game yet, let alone a level 18 in Sanctum.

I could not do the bonus..the restless spirt just would not talk to me nor follow.

I was unable to board the boat.

Iknow how this area is supposed to work..and this is like the 4th toon I have brought through Sanctum not counting the number of other players I have helped through it.

I went back into Sanctum with my level 20 ranger and again could not do the mission or bonus and again the ritualist was there.

I also noticed that Barrage appeared to have a 3 second recharge and was disabling Conjure Lightning.

I sent a bug report into the devs. Not sure if this was an isolated problem or what. A friend of mine was able to do the mission right after me and had no problems with it..but..he did say that yes the ritualist was indeed there. He was wearing red and was found in the third mob as you run to the beach after you talk to Vis. He also said that during the last part of the mission that the last 2 sets of mobs had ritualists too and that the mobs seemed to be taking far less AOE damage then they did during a run he did with friends on Wednesday.

The professions that I used were Ranger/Ele (level 20) and Warrior/Ranger (level 16).

John used a level 20 Smitting Monk.

Not sure if its profession related, and isolated problem or a game bug

I think the Ritulaist, you are talking about, is just a name, not literally the profession.

Yeah I guess. I was thinking since monks are looking for other forms of energy management, the inability to cap P&H was a gross error on their part in the first place

To the person seeing 2 staffs drop, I got that too in a 4 man party.

Yeah, to clarify, the White Mantle Ritualists are actually necromancers, and always have been.
