NOTE: ALL BASED ON CURRENT PLANS, MAY NOT GO LIVE

Undivided Attention an ability that the mob ignores it's hate list and attack whoever used the ability.

Atleast Malo Idol can e cast using free target system.

New way to trigger passive AAs, one ability that uses this is a defensive AA that activates under 40% health.

Monks are planned to get a single target silence whose main purpose is pulling caster mobs, presumably will be flagged not to work on players, will probably work on Mercs.

Bard instruments will extend songs of that type by 1 tic and the melee damage bonus is going from 25 to 30% bonus.

Devs will now have NPC generated parses to better evaluate raids and group content.

It's strongly implied Alaris has no quest at launch with a scope similar to UF Shawl but quests of that scope are possible in the future.

New Powersources won't be in an Alaris launch but are being considered as a mid-expansion or later expansion item.

Alaris group gear starts at req85 and is attunable. Chandrok suggests you should be 90 to do T1 Alaris group content.

Tribute is being continued and judging by his lack of answer of the 2nd part it's likely Campfires go another level increase with no new fires which pretty much obsoletes all spell focus fires for max level players.

Elidroth: we all work within a power budget, the players a lot of times think that we're working on making AAs or spells or events that are going to last you the entire year when in reality what we are working towards is we want to increase player power by X and I get a share of that pie and Ed (Aristo) gets a share of that pie and Jason (Chandrok) gets a piece of it and we really have to work hard the entire year to make sure that we're not completely blowing things out of the water
