SYSTEMS
Encounters and player characters now have a new contested stat called Resolve. PC’s who have less Resolve than their NPC targets will deal less damage and receive more damage equal to 1% for every point that their Resolve is below their opponents Resolve. Pet classes share resolve with pet’s and swarm pets.
Example 1: Playerbob has 150 Resolve while his target NPCGnoll has 200 Resolve. Playerbob will deal 50% less damage against NPCGnoll and NPCGnoll will deal 50% more damage to Playerbob.
Example 2: Playerbob has 150 Resolve while his target NPCOrc has 100 Resolve. Player bob will deal normal damage and NPCOrc will not deal any extra damage to Playerbob.

Feldon. Any chance that you know if the four new fabled zones are advanced solo and heroic like last fabled and where the zoneins will be this time?
Do we know how much the Experience Vials cost?
The Fabled Cazic-Thule and Fabled Ruins of Varsoon are heroic zones. But, they are low difficulty heroics.
Sounds Awesome! Hope servers are back up quickly 🙂
Do we still get free packs on the first?
How much do the vials cost?
No Fabled heroic instances? Pity.
Gninja,
Could they be used for leveling as well or too difficult for that?
I’d rather group and level then molo grind in sky shrine
