U50 RS changes

    Pacifism is gone from Core 2, and has been replaced with a Cure Moderate Wounds SLA: 4SP, 6 second cooldown.
        Pacifism is an odd ability. While there are certainly builds that like and use it, the ability to toggle it on and off made it not really fitting for the flavor of the ability, and the tradeoffs for the power didn't really... matter much. And its position in Core 2 meant you had to take it, even if you didn't want it. We went through a few iterations of trying to make something of it before scrapping it outright. Radiant Servants should have a lot of new points to put elsewhere after this pass, and the resulting builds should be stronger even without Pacifism.

    Radiant Servant (6th Core) now grants +4 Wisdom instead of the +2 it granted before.
        Most of our Core Capstones now grant a total of +4 in ability scores, so this was just bringing it even.

    Many enhancements in this tree now cost 1AP per Rank that used to cost 2AP per rank:
        Divine Cleansing now costs 1AP per Rank
        Mighty Turning now costs 1AP per Rank
        Bliss now costs 1AP per Rank
        Divine Healing now costs 1AP per Rank
        Intense Healing now costs 1AP per Rank
        Endless Turning now costs 1AP per Rank
        Incredible Healing now costs 1AP per Rank
        Positive Energy Aura now costs 1AP per Rank
        Cure Focus now costs 1AP per Rank
        Reactive Heal now costs 1AP per Rank

    Extra Turning and Improved Turning are now combined in T2.
        We did this in Knight of the Chalice a while back, glad to finally bring it here as well.

    New T1: Divine Aid: +2% Positive Spell Critical Damage. 1AP.
    New T3: Divine Aid: +2% Positive Spell Critical Damage. 1AP.
    Disconnected the prerequisite chain of Divine Healing, Martyrdom, and Reactive Heal.
    New T5: Raise Dead SLA. 15SP. 9 second cooldown. 1AP.
        This is the same SLA that Beacon of Hope gets in T5, but we felt it was an important tool for Healing builds to have.

    New T5: Radiance: Activate: All allies in the dungeon (regardless of distance) gain the effects of the Greater Restoration spell, and purges Paralysis, Stun, and Knockdown/Trip. This can be used while Crowd Controlled. (Activation Cost: 30 Spell Points. Cooldown: 1 minute.)
        We wanted to give this tree something shiny in Tier 5, and a Get-the-party-out-of-a-jam button seemed like just the thing.

The reduced AP cost is good. The SLA's are hot garbage. Losing the crit chance from pacifism sucks.

Do better devs.

Could be neat if this saved folks from Grip in Strahd. Even if no one runs it anymore per say.

ye, there also knockdowns in KT and THTH --- I´m just fearing that this ability could be the next must have, if it is, it isn´t exactly what I would consider 'fun gameplay'.

Ah see you forget - the mobs can spam stun/knockdown effects WAY faster than once a minute. So while its a cool ability in principle its really not all that useful. Most times you'll get up to be immediately struck with another knockdown. As long as they still allow chain-stun type effects, fuck anything for removing them. Waste of a hot key.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Useful to get a knocked down tank up in reaper raids, not wasting it on every tom dick and harry dps

I'd wager the "This can be used while Crowd Controlled." aspect doesn't work as advertised.

Willing to bet when/if you use it and the target is in the middle of an action, they lose that action, the charge it cost, and go into RT

Given SSG's track record, I'm fully expecting this SLA to 1) not be able to work while you're CCd, 2) not actually do what it's supposed to (i.e. like a Harper Pin which does fuckall), and 3) have an actual cooldown of higher than 1 minute.

In other news though, what other asshattery is SSG up to with U50? Something that nerfs on-hit effects further? Something else that exacerbates lag with the stated purpose of "reducing" it? Something that nerfs casters for no reason? Something that fucks over the economy again? Some other form of P2W bullshit?

I have no positive hopes for any DDO update after U49

We can all rest assured that whatever those ballgag-wearing cucks do for U50, it’ll be an unmitigated disaster.

The "Get-the-party-out-of-a-jam button" will aggro every monster in the whole dungeon, happy red DA.

Yes, eSoS is getting the shit nerfed out of it. Not the careful phrasing "That's about it" indicating there are significant other changes they can't admit to.

Way to communicate, SS Fucks.
