This one is still in, but for some reason isn't with the patch notes.



Disciple - Endowment of Life now adds an HP on your defensive target when used.   (It's a healing HP buff! single target only raid wide, ie main tank. Which means it will buff and then heal, in that order, with the hp amount healed you already see from Endowment of Life on live servers atm.)

[Sycloness]

I am one very happy with the changes Avair, Shogg, and I came up with. I really feel this is going to make us very wanted in groups and raids.

[Shogg]

There are some minor things that were changed that are not noted in those notes atm.... things such as a damage increase to blessed wind, something Avair himself wanted done more so than we did... I'll be updating as we go through our notes and spot things that aren't noted. this is a rough draft of what you'll see on the test server soon.

[Korrvin]

OK, so just speaking of Inner Light and healing... with purity increasing heals by 300.. falling petal and wls increasing heals for about another 150, BRH healing the all meleers for 125 every hit, plus whatever the inital proc amount of Inner light maye be... it looks like our group will always be getting incoming heal amounts of atleast 300ish (im assuming inner lights own heal proc is atleast 25) and the defensive target getting prurity will have incoming heals of about 600ish.. sounds good to me.

And that doesnt include the HoT portion on BW.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Dragon Stance losing the jin regen.. putting it on EoB bring back the possibility of cold starts.. but then again, im assuming meditate is a jin regen ability, so it may not be so bad afterall.

FP and WLS being group wide.. yippee
Endowment of Master being 10min... yippee
Transcendence being passive... yippee

Im interested in seeng these abilities.. hope they're on the test server now

I must say...while I'm abysmally unimpressed by the dev's inability to fix the bunked feint mech (astral especially)...this proposed series of changes is pretty darn sweet looking.  I'll be very excited to try it out! 

By the by... I was curious where the devs plan to put us after the dps balancing act in relation to a dps class if we are in tiger mode and well equipped for damage?

And THANK YOU for all your hard work guys!

- Disciple - Astral Gale now kills the user.

Oops, I left one out! :p j/k

[Shogg]

putting it on EoB bring back the possibility of cold starts..

That's why we put meditation in. IIRC it fill your Jin to full from 0 in about 20-30 seconds. I don't remember the exact regen rate off-hand. I can dig that number up later.

Cold starts are NOT an issue with these changes.

With a 6 second refresh on Blessed Wind, has the HoT portion of this ability been increased?  Or has this been changed because the Dragon stance will give it an additional direct heal?

It's because of the direct/instant heal portion. The idea is for us to have a solid heal to fall back on for main healing a group as a melee healing class before ever having to resort to spamming casted heals. We're melee healers, dangit! I can't wait to "test drive" these changes myself to see how it measures up.

Most of you have seen my Lao'jin Flurry suggestion. That idea is basically where this comes from.

[Sycloness]

I was told in dragon form with 500vit and 250 HF Avair was getting 268 heal (with petals), 3 endurance, 35 mana per hit. In tiger it was 315 I think, it gives a bonus to inner light. Avair also said the amount of vit will effect the amount healed on inner light.

[Shogg]

I'll definately end up rolling a Disciple alt to try this changes as they hit live =)
