I agree, and that is pretty much the Arty pass right there.

was about to say how shitty this update will be with new ilusion spells only for the gnome and no shitty changes to arti, but then I read this:

and this

Synchrono wrote on Feb 11^th, 2016 at 5:56pm:



Fuck content. If turbine get those TWO things right, this will be the best update in ages

It's a race for casters, and it's good. Bar none the best race for Clr/FvS/Drd cause only WIS-based race (only took 'em 10 years), looks pretty competitive for Wizard as well (compared to Sun Elf, and they wouldn't have to burn a +1 heart).

It's friggin ugly though. They really gotta roll out cosmetic races

ROFL, it took them long enough to actually ask to the 3PP provider how to code correctly the calls.

We've been telling them for years that forking multiple processes was the sloppy work of a monkey.

So the Arti "pass" consists of, "fuck you...roll something else, you fucker?"

Best release note ever.

fighter happening or not?

...That's it? Lame.

Therefore one/both are likely to be borked.

AtomicMew wrote on Feb 11^th, 2016 at 8:05pm:

I count +60 Electric Spell Power and +27 Universal.  And +5 Evocation DCs.  Not horrible, +87 spell power to Electric overall is fairly decent.  The real lack is the still missing third tree.

I dunno, the last I heard a dev speak on the subject they said that they were done with "class passes" and would just be doing little tweaks here and there, which seems to match exactly what they plan to do with AT.
