Yumm a slay upgrade.

Armour of the inquistor is intriguing, its kind of like an aa version of our epic clicky.

Hand of Disruption 100% chance to interupt? Does it stack with other paladins casting it or does it leave a buff to prevent misuse?

I was kind of hoping we might get the GOM lower level line this time around.

What experience have people had with the expendable aas?

New AA exp formula was publicly announced a while ago. What it boils down to is that the rate you gain AA at 70 is the new baseline. That's the rate you'll gain AA if you keep fighting equivalently challenging content at the same pace.

[Kneesmasher]

They are shooting for about one AA an hour if you are killing mobs of your level. So if you are level 75 and killing mostly level 75 mobs in your "average" group...you'll get about one AA an hour. If you are level 60 and killing level 60 mobs, you'll get one AA an hour. etc. etc.

The days of 5 or more AA in 30 minutes are over...but I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that AA's weren't getting a bit too easy.

Do I interpret Rashere's comments to mean that you can use it on a mob and not end up interrupting their casting, because it can be resisted? But if it manages to land, it will definitely interrupt?

And tell Caladel to get on over here and make an account!

One could hope so Zsa, but that was not the impression I got from the dev's post I read the other week. They took a look at AA exp at 75 - realized it would be a joke; a slippery slope if you will - and decided to try and fix it.

Nowhere did it say that, at level 70, if making Y amount of AA's takes X minutes, you can expect to get the same result at 75, if the difficulty of the content increases with your levling up.

What it did say (at least the way I read it) was that on a per-kill basis, you could expect the same results. For example, at level 75 you might get the same AA exp from a level 72 NPC that you would've gotten from a level 67 NPC at 70.

While the group DPS might scale up enough (eventually, with gear) to make up for the increase in HP this would mean, I sincerely doubt the soloing players will have it as easy. Hence, soloing will suffer.

So, even if you find a "new Arcstone", I sincerely doubt you'll make 3 AA's an hour soloing at 75.
