Crit for 1?

Folks have been reporting in with mechanics problems (some related to multipliers) in EQ2 after Game Update 53:

• Anashti Sul’s “Presence of the Void” is hitting twice as hard and causing twice the power drains.  [Link 1] [Link 2] [Link 3] This is not the only mob with mangled multipliers. Another example is Trakanon. [Link]
• Brigands cannot cast Double Up after casting Barroom Negotiation. [Link]
• Certain spells/CAs which have a Damage Over Time aspect to them such as the Monk CA “Rising Dragon” are randomly only doing 1 point of damage. [Link 1] [Link 2]
• Charasis: Vault of Eternal Sleep cannot be completed as the penultimate named (the Guardian where you have to read books) is on holiday. [Link]
• Also, all items with -Hate Gain lost that ability. [Link]

UPDATE: These issues are all addressed in the September 30th Hotfix.
