Fan Faire - Shaman Tidbits.

[Tordail]

I didn't go to Fan Faire, but one of my old guildmates, Crystilla, did. She has posted a lengthy review at the EQ Live boards. You can read her posts .

Shaman tidbits:
Group Spirit Walk: Shaman asked about group spirit walk being yanked last minute from Underfoot and if something like it/something similar for group invis would be added into House of Thule. Answer was yes I believe.

Buff Icon Timers in Target Window: Shaman asked for timers to be put on the buff icons for target window. This was specifically mentioned as the buff window you can control or shift click and get all the buff timers at once, and you cant' do that with the target window, you just get one at a time. Dev answer - we'll look into it.



Possible Shaman tidbits:
Re: Lowering Recast Timers for Fast DoT's:
Developer Answer: the fast dots were intended to be used for group and raid trash situations where mobs die fast. You get to choose whether to frontload with a fast dot or use regular ones based on the situation. But for recast timer, we will look into it.

Re: Slows:
(Enchanter) also asked if there is a better slow besides the level 69 spell.
Developer Answer: Dev answer said he couldn't recall if he gave a new slow spell in HoT, didnt' have his notes but that slow was capped where they wanted it.

Re: Sympathetic Augments:
Question on sympathetic augs continuing in House of Thule - damage will continue yes, mana ones will not as they are already too strong and will be phased out by non upgrading the line.

Re: Clickies:
Someone asked about adding more clickies to the game - answer is they are currently overpowered as is and no more new ones will be made.
