Fully agree to Byte, if you find any annoying interaction, give me/us a heads-up and we see what can be done.

Electric Compression. You can make it passive and you can get this buff every time when goes to Charged state, similar as Alternating Current. I checked ItemPreview this skill has different variations, it gives same base effect, but it also has KeyItem, idk what the reference for, but if it can be implemented, it will be good change.

Mage/Warrior: Rage Mana. Its a kind of intresting thing from design view, when you converts some spells into a new one. But this spell has 30s cd/30s duration, so literally you press it every time on cd, it also converts rage into 100% MP, idk is it intended that it doesnt consume any rage point and gives you mana or not? By the other side we have Enraged that recovers 100 rage and 100% mana its looks strange when both spells recovers 100% mp. As suggestion: it can be as buff with no duration, but it will consume some rage points while buffed.

In this design: you remove all frequantly used self buff spells, so you have only 5 offensive spells in you rotation: Electic Bolt(not frequantly spell, used for additional attack power boost), Thunderstrom, Earth Splitting Explosion(situativity spell), Fireball, Raging Flame/Field, then you goes to Thunderstrom/Fireball/Raging Flame or Field, 3 spells in your rotation in this case you dont need any "combat engine" at all.

Almost similar on other mage.

By using macros or other tools you accept the loss of this benefit.

Probably you misunderstood me, yeah, i did used incorrect word, kind of...

If we talking about "combat engine" that is sequencer with some kind of logic, but if talking about macro its just like: /cast spell 1 /cast spell 2, so the game allows you to use this kind of method. The problem is that you can write a script inside macro with condition. In other mmorpg its restricted, you cannot write conditionaly script inside macro.

So, i think you got my view, just make classes with 3-5 spells in main rotation and then just restricted whole api's, thats it the era of the "combat engines" will be gone.

Btw, i've been switched on mage about 2 months ago, probably i can miss something, if there are any mages here who plays about a hundred years like Kaga or Zyrex, you free to correct me or add something about mage.

Hi, Im not against manual gameplay, but we have legal automatization in game - Macros, now its restricted also.

Lets take a look at some cases:

1. I use that trick: I put the spells with same cooldown time/same cooldown behavior in one macro to reduce the amount of buttons that i should press. Some classes have more than 5 burst abilities, aint count foods and potions, most of them are used manualy, but some of them i place in macro.

2. Class design: Some classes have trackable buffs and its used in the middle of rotation. We all know this game is perfect and playing without any addons that automate your rotation is a challenge.

Example: Mage/Warrior - Rage Mana spell - 30s cooldown/30s duration. You need to press this spell everytime on cd to unlock mage/warrior "raging" spells. Ofc, the easiest way is to place spell in kitty/lua, set some condition to check buff and thats it, now it will always trigger GCD. To be honest, why those type of spells cant be passive, since you need to press everytime on cd?

And there are many similar spells.

We have an option to reduce our GCD by titles/rolls, but there is a case: some players swap titles/rolls to reach thier maximum damage, now they will have struggle due this change, if they are using such of spells non-manualy.

My suggestion is: Revert change back, until the class design will be ready to play without automatization.

whats the point of this change?

• Changed self buffs to always have global cooldown trigger when not used manually.

whats the price of Portable Tier Proficiency?

I swear the game has become completely unplayable. It doesn’t matter whether my settings are on the highest or lowest; my screen freezes every 3 seconds. You can see the issues I’m experiencing in the video below. How is anyone supposed to play like this? Also, based on my tests, I may have found a 100% workaround, because when I press CTRL+Z, there is no issue at all.

so in this case the issue can be caused by some addon, try without addons or remove it one by one. when you hide UI some addons frames are hiding also thats why the issue is gone.

Edit:

as i see you have not original action bars, as i remember someone had same issue caused by actionbar addon

Am I blind or I don’t see something, but how you survived from more than tics of dot?

Yes you need to level up card to 5 star or boost it and use it on 2nd deck

Tooltip fix before patch, delete it after

GameTooltip and RMB.

If you hover on unit to see tooltip, when it shows, you click and hold RMB, gametooltip will be always visible(idk its intended or it stuck) and then you move your mouse to another unit, it gonna add id of a new unit to the tooltip and so on until you unhold RMB.

If "Show unit IDs in tooltip" option is disabled then tooltip just stucks w/o adding ids.

To solve it, you gotta unhold RMB and hover on any unit again.

1. Loot system. The design of loot system is 50/50. Its good that you get your own resources, first of all its good for solo runs, but i dont believe that it bring back solo runs.

2. About 1st boss as Byte said in discord: "The shape only shows knockdown direction but boss hits around." ???? okay.

3. About one shots. Its terrible. I dont know who design it and what inspired him, but e.g in others mmorpg if a mob have lethal cast you can interrupt it(if its interruptable), if its not then you can stun him or avoid it by objects or by range. But heres you got instant one hit.

4. The 2nd boss. I think is already about connection between client and server or something, but sometimes you die even if stay inside sphere, while jump event.

And at the end: as we can see that The Shattered Grove has completed status. Actualy i expected more, i thought that boss fights will be more complicated but actually mobs way harder,.

And these "hints". I come to play but i need to solve a riddles how can i craft new items. And also that corruption system.

knight/warlock but you will need to change your race on dwarf to take warlock

Byte

if patch comes tomorrow, could you take a look at anti-afk system, because right now the skills that affected by this system always cancelling like Rune Overload, Holy Light Domain.

And also 1st boss:

When he start casting slam the void zone shows like frontal aoe damage, but actually it hits around the boss with 150 radius

I don't think they wanted to do this. If they did, they wouldn't have made these gloves usable with the new set. And scout and katana glove are still better in dot damage. There are also some mistake for example non-crit dmg and crit-dmg same.

• You will still have critical hits on chance as before, but damage output will always same on both crit and non-crit hits.

Better in dot damage because its different formula, dot damage doesnt affected by critical chance they was always normal hits and i guess since isnt critical they are not affected by critical bonus thats why right now for bleed damage katana and scout gloves better.

Quote from ganyotcu

Hello.

With the latest patch, the set glove started hitting more than katana or scout glove. is this intended or will be fixed in future?

I guess so. Since upcoming sets no longer have separate items and critical bonus have been reworked, theres no reason to use those gloves anymore. The patch notes say: New Execution Power/Arcane Amplifier will directly multiply your damage output, also they will now be multiplied instead of added. So set gloves are now stronger than non-set

Welcome to CoA. This is class balance... yeah some classes has good performing at the beginning or in solo scenarios. But overall mages deal more damage than chain or leather classes, because they are balanced, redesigned, adjusted etc. You could try champion class combination if rather play chain or even rogue/warden. I hope there will be some class change in near future, maybe before new uni release.

btw any news on pvp maybe some leaks to get audience warming?

it was added for 5000

• Changed Chaos Daggers to stack 1% as base + 50% more per stack ( i.e.: 10 stacks = 1% + 9 * 0.5% ) physical attack power per hit stacks up to 100 times with duration of 5 seconds.

how does stack behavior is work? it has threshold, like if you dont hit a target upon a 5 sec then the stacks are gone? or it has unique time expiration for each new stack?

because somtimes it stack, sometimes not, i cant even reached 20 stacks...

and are sure that 100 stacks are reachable?

any chance to change orb spawn position at last boss its really hard to loot when a bunch of adds spawned?

the problem was in tank artifact actually

[Premeditation ID: 490507]. Your next Wound Attack or Shadow Slash will be 100% critical and increase its damage by 75%. Instant Spell without buff duration until you use Wound Attack or Shadow Slash. So buff will be consumed after you have been used Wound Attack or Shadow Slash. Cooldown: 40 sec. after buff consumed.

[Shadow Slash ID: 1493673]. For each buff stack you have from Perfect Slice damage will be increased by 25%.(instead of repeated).

[Wound Attack]. For each bleed on target from player damage will be increaced by 25%.

-- Why this kind of changes?

Right now scout is tier 1 dps for solo target burst. Especially scout/druid with single target damage corruptions. (~1 Billion damage for 2 spells). This changes might boost solo target damage.

[Fervent Attack ID: 490333]. Make it passive for all rogues. For each auto attack will gives n% attack speed stackable up to 10 times. Remove defense reduction. (Overall damage boost).

[Shadow Prison ID: 490346]. Crowd control spell with 20 radius? Increase radius up to 80. Reduce energy requirement to 25. Coodown can be the same or reduced to 25s.

[Sneak Attack ID: 490337] Can be used from Hide instead of combat. Increase stun time to 5 sec. (+1 useful target control spell for rogue).

Rogue/Warlock.

[Vigilant Assassin ID: 498804]. Your Dark Soul Smelt[498808] have a chance to restore 8 focus. Also empowers Assassins's Mindset[1491861]. (After last changes this class combo became expensive, i dont what about dagger, but with katana you are always run out of focus. Will be nice to see some kind of focus restoration.)

Add elemental damage for rest of the spells.

Rogue/Mage.

[Evil Intent ID:491181]. Reduce cooldown time on Premeditation to 30s but damage will be reduced to 50%.

[Hell Blades ID: 497205]. While Hell Blades your spell will be ignore 60% of target defence.(Instead of Fire Damage boost).

Add elemental damage for rest of the spells.

Rogue/Priest.

[Patience and Salvation ID: 492921]. Permanent buff. Your normal attack will provide both buffs Patience and Salvation. (Instead of offensive single target and regular attack). Same as High Voltage on Warrior/Mage.

[Awakening of the Monk ID: 491536]. Provides half stack of Patience and Salvation. OR Make this spell passive. Reduces required stacks for Patience and Salvation from 20 to 10.

What about remove?

Also need to keep in mind what type of gear/class/titles you using for farming. If you try to farm with starter or even with rofl red gear, without Badge Title System, pets etc. i think it would be hard.

Every class with rogue in sub can wear a katana. This is the passive skill from rogue Katana Training, but Bard/Rogue dont get any benefits from that.

Hello,

I am playing the game in Turkish. I am encountering a problem while doing kitycombo with Druid/Priest. The reason for the problem I am experiencing is that two different skills have the same name and because of this I cannot run kitycombo. Can you change the name of one of these two skills to fix this problem?

I looked at their names in English, not to see if they are the same.

US ID: 1490657 Regeneration and 490269 Regenerate
TR ID: 1490657 Yenileme and 490269 Yenileme

If you using KittyCombo 2.0, you can use spell ID in name field.
