Classes

Priest of Mitra

Conqueror
* All Battle Shouts now have a Sound effect.
* When a lower level conq is grouped with a higher level one, the lower level Warlord takes precedence on all members of a group. The buff from the higher level conqueror should take precedence instead. (bug?)

Bear Shaman
* Bear Shamans do not have “Wreck Armor”, they have “Crush Armor” which has ranks I+II+III+IV. “Crush Armor” animation has no change, for this reason.

Guardian
* “Overreach” now has an addition to its animation.

Assassin

Necromancer
* Necros have had their feat trees rearranged in both Nightfall and Reanimation to quite some degree. No free respec for this change.
* Relating to the feat changes- Talent points stayed with their respective talents while being moved so it is possible to have a talent that you no longer have the required amount of points invested into the tree to have.(IE you can have an item available that requires 15 feat points invested when you only have 10 invested.)

Comfirmed and/or Ongoing Bugs
* Gems still do not appear on the Trader after being searched for.

* Players that have previously completed the ritual to remove the Mark of Acheron still bear the mark.

Possible Bugs/issues- Need comfirmation
* Stats seem to only barely be affecting damage output, and appear still broken in other areas, mostly defensive characteristics of the stats are not being applied.(See dev response below)
* The bug with NPCs not becoming visible until you are right on top of them is back. It was a bug they fixed last monday.(need confirmation)
