PvP
COMBAT
In anticipation of Hammerknell level items entering the game we’ve adjusted certain Combat rating diminishing returns. These changes should only affect fully raid buffed characters in Hammerknell or better equipment.
* Physical Crit, Spell Crit, and Block ratings have both soft and hard caps updated. These caps only affect the bonuses from your base rating and have no effect on percentage-based bonuses from abilities, buffs, and debuffs.
* Physical Crit: Now soft caps at 45%, and the return per point of Physical Crit rating above 45% is reduced. Hard caps at 60%.
* Spell Crit: Now soft caps at 45%, and the return per point of Spell Crit rating above 45% is reduced. Hard caps at 60%.
* Block (Chance to Block): Now soft caps at 40%, and the return per point of Block chance rating after 40% is reduced. Hard caps at 60%.
* Block (Amount Absorbed): Now soft caps at 50%, and the return per point of Block absorption rating after 50% is reduced. Hard caps at 65%.
COMBAT – ITEM PROC RATES
* Item with proc effects (% chance of X on Y) will now be normalized so that the results of an item proc are more consistent regardless of the ability speed or number of targets it hits.
- Abilities that hit multiple targets will trigger procs less than abilities that hit single targets.
- Abilities with longer casting times will trigger procs more often than abilities that are quick to cast.
* Additionally, we've made a pass on the trigger events for procs themselves to make them more consistent across different items.
Class Changes
Addressing issues with healing in PVP focusing on instant and passive healing, reducing the effectiveness of healing for targets involved in PVP combat. This should help with a number of issues related to general Cleric survivability and effectiveness. These changes only affect active PVP combat, they have no impact on normal PVE gameplay.
* Chloromancer: Reduced the healing effectiveness of Bloom and Essence Surge when the target is in PvP combat.
* Druid: Reduced the effectiveness of Balm of the Woods when the target is in PvP combat.
* Justicar: Reduced the healing effectiveness of Doctrine of Loyalty, Doctrine of Bliss, Doctrine of Righteousness, Reparation, Reprieve, and Salvation when the target is in PvP combat.
* Necromancer: Reduced the healing effectiveness of Soul Purge when the target is in PvP combat.
* Purifier: Reduced the healing effectiveness of Healing Blessing, Healing Flare, and Latent Blaze when the target is in PvP combat.
* Sentinel: Reduced the healing effectiveness of Healing Breath, Marked by the Light, and Vigilance when the target is in PvP combat.
* Shaman: Reduced the effectiveness of Glory of the Chosen when the target is in PvP combat.
* Warden: Reduced the effectiveness of Healing Spray, Orbs of the Stream, Orbs of the Tide, and Soothing Stream when the target is in PvP combat.
* Dominator: Reduced the damage of Split Personality's Void Bolts in PvP combat.
Alt – Mode Warfronts
Whitefall Steppes - Escalation
In their fight for dominance, the Guardians and Defiants have deployed massive rune cannons to the Whitefall Steppes. Their Ascended armies battle to collect and return Sourcestone to fuel these powerful weapons.
Capture three Sourcestone from the field and hold them at your base to win. Beware though; Sourcestone can be stolen directly from your base by the enemy.
PVP Rifts!
The armies of the Ascended can now open special PvP rifts at Rift Raid locations. Opening these rifts secures sourcestone for your faction, but also leaves you open to attack from enemies! Keep the rift open as long as you can to gain the most rewards - or close your enemy's rift for additional bonuses!
PTS ONLY: Temporary openers can be found on Fluffy in Zareph's Return. These rifts are currently only active in Stillmoor. Currently the objects in this rift ignore the "PvP Auto Flag" option, so beware! Please direct feedback to the PTS forums, thanks!
