Feldon Today’s update addresses numerous complaints about the difficulty of the Drunder heroic and raid zones as well as the Citadel of V’uul x2. In particular the Drunder group zones seemed to require Raid gear to attempt, yet lacked any progression of itemization from that gear. We also see some ease-of-use changes to Kael Drakkel contested.
The full notes after the jump…

- Guild events will now correctly add to the calendar.
POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION
Great Divide

Drunder: Sullon’s Spire (x4) and Drunder: Tallon’s Stronghold (x4)
- Drunder normal mode x4 raid zones do not require players to have quite as much critical mitigation or critical chance.
Drunder: Sullon’s Spire (x4)
- Gregor Haldane in Sullons Spire x4 raid zone does not teleport as frequently during his fight.

Kael Drakkel
- The teleporters in Kael Drakkel that players can gain access to by doing the Ragebourne quests will now teleport the entire group instead of just the player in the group that can access them.
- In Kael Drakkel, clicking on the entrance door “Eye of Zek” will now zone the whole group inside Temple of Rallos Zek instead of just the person in the group that have access to the door. This will work the same when exiting out of the temple.

- Temporary adornments should once again remove correctly.
BATTLEGROUNDS
Frozen Tundra
- The Kromzek Relic and Coldain Relic now have identical health and regeneration.
Do all the raid mobs in all the zones account for that + 30 innate critical bonus? If not thats just wrong to have hidden stats. When your tellin everyone to get their crit mit to X amount only to learn surprise oh ya this mob has a hidden + 30 crit bonus have fun.
It’s how the crit mechanic has worked for years. I don’t see why mobs should be any different.
As paladin, mellee innate crit is 1.3. As an Assassin mellee innate crit is 1.5
Crit bonus is what goes beyond your innate crit.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
Except that for many, the numbers weren’t quite that transparent, unless you really did the digging. And the previous buffs didn’t account for those, which could cause some understandable confusion.
Just the standard-issue SOE communication failure.
Temporary adorns still not fixed, lol.
