October 1 Hotfix

Resolving hopefully the last of the Game Update 53 issues, we’re expecting the next Hotfix on Thursday, October 1. Here are the Update Notes:

GENERAL

• The Guardian of Eternity has returned to Charasis: Vault of Eternal Sleep
• Research Assistants are a little more helpful when asked about their jobs.

ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENTS

Monk

• Enhance: Mend will once again work properly.

ITEMS

• Najena’s Ring of Readiness is no longer heirloom. Additionally, the Ring of Readiness effect will only function as long as the ring is worn.
• The Charm of Rallos Zek now has 2 additional melee crit bonus.
• The Charm of Anashti Sul now has 3 additional ranged doubleattack.
• Scourge Knight Spaulders have been restored to their previous salmon color.

MIRAGUL’S PLANAR SHARD

• Haladan Moonrunner (non-enraged), Glaciactus and Kervis Pendlair have had their chance to critically hit players reduced.  The Tusker’s trumpet buff and berserkers fury buffs associated with the enraged Haladan encounter will no longer result in as massive a damage increase for the NPCs.

• Combat arts which combine a melee attack and a DoT will no longer display really low values on the initial hit.
• Barroom Negotiation will once again work with Double Up.

Assassin

• Fatal Followup will increase values appropriately for AOE based attacks.
