• Un point D&co du Milieu sur le housing :

Le Béornide :

Note: Yellow Line Beorning is ready for testing and player feedback. Of particular focus this week is feedback on healing efficacy, healing rotation and Wrath generation in yellow line. Blue and Red Beorning trait lines need another week in the oven and are not suitable for testing or feedback right now. Any new traits/skills you see in-game that are not mentioned below should be assumed to be broken/not working as intended. More updates for Beorning coming soon.

General Changes:

• The way main stats work has changed for all classes. Main stats include Might, Agility, Will, Vitality and Power. For the Beorning, main stats have been updated to increase more role-specific secondary stats. Might stats have been updated to focus on tanking, Agility on damage-dealing and Will on healing. Specifically:

  • Might now increases your Physical Mastery, Physical Mitigation, Tactical Mitigation, Parry, Evade, and Resistance Rating.
  • Agility now increases your Critical Rating, Physical Mastery, and Finesse.
  • Will now increases your Outgoing Healing, Critical Rating, Tactical Mastery, and Finesse.
  • Vitality just increases your Maximum Morale, in-Combat Morale Regen, and non-Combat Morale Regen.
  • Fate increases your Maximum Morale, in-Combat Morale Regen, and non-Combat Morale Regen (mostly worse than Vitality, but with better in-Combat Morale Regen).

• Wanderlust’s Peaceful Movement Speed has increased from 62% to 68%.
• The Lothlorien Survival Guide no longer works with Wanderlust.
• “Rush” can no longer stack or be used with “Wanderlust”.
• Nature’s Vengeance cost has increased from zero to five Wrath.
• Updated icons for new and changed traits and skills.

The Hide:

• The trait “Vitality Increase” has been renamed “Nature’s Bounty”.
• The traits “Physical Mitigation Increase” and “Tactical Mitigation Increase” have been combined and renamed “Armoured Hide”.
• The Hide skill “Guarded Attack” can now be used in any form.
• Rending Blows and Armour Crush have each been moved one row deeper into The Hide trait tree.
• Armour Crush’s max Incoming Damage debuff has been reduced from 15% to 12%.
• The Hide trait tree traits “Recuperate” and “Quick Recovery” have been moved shallower in the trait tree.
• The Hide trait tree trait “Weakening Blow” has been moved to The Claw trait tree.
• The Hide set trait bonus “Down But Not Out” now reads: When morale goes below 30%, in any form: Heal +20% Max Morale and gain +20 Wrath. Cooldown is now 1.5 minutes.
• The following skills now have increased threat generation when used: Thickened Hide, Nature’s Fury, Thorned Armour, Rending Blow, Armour Crush, Counter, and Claw Swipe (when traited fully in Opposing Presence).
• The Hide set trait “Rake” has moved to The Claw.
• The Hide set trait “Animalistic” has moved to replace “Rake”. Its effect has changed and now grants a version of the skill “Hearten” that can be used in any form.
• A new set trait “Cultivate” has been added at the position “Animalistic” occupied. Cultivate retains Animalistic’s original effect (Wrath generation in combat) and now also gives an any form version of Ferocious Roar.
• Assertive Roar will not be changed.

The Claw:

• The Claw trait “Turn the Tides” trait now has 1 rank, down from 5.
• The Claw trait “Critical Chance” has been renamed “Quick Claws”.
• The Claw trait “Melee Damage” has been renamed “Savage Blows”.
• The Claw trait tree trait “Enraging Sacrifice” has been removed.
• The Claw trait tree trait “Composure” has been reduced to 3 ranks. Max effect remains the same.
• The Claw trait tree trait “Crippling Stings” now increases Bee Swarm damage on each rank as well as providing a snare effect.
• The Claw trait tree trait “Bleed Damage” now increases damage for all bleeds.
• Gained “Weakening Blows” trait from The Hide. Now has 3 ranks instead of 5. No change in max trait.
• Removed “Festering Wounds” set trait.
• The Hide set bonus “Rake” has moved to The Claw to replace “Festering Wounds”.
• The Claw set bonus “Wrathful” has been changed. It no longer increases Critical Chance linearly from 3-15%. Instead, it now reads: “Gain 4% Critical Chance for every 20 Wrath, up to 16% at 80 Wrath, then Critical Chance declines to 12% at 81-100 Wrath.”

The Roar:

• Due to recent stat changes, Fate no longer contributes to secondary stats as it did prior for Beornings. Because of this, the “Fate” trait has been renamed “Torrent” and now grants increased Will and Critical Healing Magnitude instead of Fate.
• The Roar trait tree trait Stampede now has 3 ranks down from 5. Same max effect.
• The Roar trait tree trait Crippling Roar now has 1 rank. Same max effect.
• The Roar trait tree trait Imposing Presence now has 2 ranks down from 3. Same max effect.
• The Roar trait tree traits “Raging Blow” and “Debilitating Bees” have switched places.
• Debilitating Bees max physical mitigation debuff has been reduced to 5%.
• Rejuvenating Bellow now is a selection heal with a target. It has been reduced to seven total heal targets, based in proximity to the initial target. Note: I am still trying to make this targetable to either fellowship in a raid by selecting and healing a target from that fellowship, this is a placeholder solution until I can get that working.
• All Beorning heals have been made fellowship-wide except for Relentless Maul, Nature’s Salve and Rejuvenating Bellow, which remain raid-wide.
• Relentless Maul now has a 45s cooldown.
• Added Nature’s Salve trait and skill, a raid-wide 10m area bear form heal that generates ten Wrath with a 45s cooldown. The trait has 4 ranks, with additional ranks providing increased heal efficacy.
• Added To Your Aid trait and skill, a strong single target man form heal that also provides increased physical and tactical mitigation if the target has Mark of Grimbeorn. Generates 20 Wrath with a 20s cooldown. Trait has 3 ranks, with the tactical and physical mitigation bonus unlocked on ranks 2 and 3.
• Nature’s Mend is now a tiered heal, with 4 tiers unlockable by traiting full points into the “Quick Mend” trait.

L’évènement artisanat sur le Forestier 

We have added our first Crafting Event to the game!

The event takes place at the Combe Lumber Camp and when active the Camp is decorated by flags, new hide stretchers, craft tables, wood piles, and bears for skinning.

If you are in Breeland, you will get an announcement alerting you that the event will being in 15 minutes. Contestants can make their way to the lumber camp and acquire the quest from Wilkin Thorne, Mason Thorne’s son. As the event coordinator, Wilkin will bestow the quest to any forester, regardless of their proficiency.

This event works a little different than others.

Players get the quest and then register with the Judge, Aldith Bauman, Old Bauman’s daughter. The first contestant to register with Aldith begins a hidden count that provides a failsafe for when there are not enough players around to normally kick off the contest. If three players register for the event, there is another announcement that alert all players that there are 2 minutes before the event begins.

Players then follow the quest, as normal, and complete the tasks to place, 1st, 2nd, and consolation in the event. All participants who complete the “race” portion of the event will get wither a 1st place, 2nd place, or participation award. All players who complete the quest receive a participation award and advance the competition based deeds!

Old Bauman has a new role in the camp as a barterer! you can see the list of the many, many, rewards available through the event by looking through his wares.

Known Issues:

• Icons for rewards are placeholder.
• Cosmetically applied effects are currently not translating when used to harvest wood nodes.
• There is an error in the titles that places Farmer before your name and the rest of the title, whoops.
• Items purchased through the barter system that should only be purchased once can currently be purchased multiple times.
• The output Axes from new recipes are erroneously set to bind when equipped, this should be bind when acquired.
• Whetstone rewards are not consumed.

Feedback Needed:
As this is an inaugural event and we are looking to add at least one event for each of the professions, available on a rotating basis the reward costs are high. We will need to be cautious about lowering them too far, but look forward to feedback on this, our first true Crafting Event.

 

 

Le magasin en jeu :

We are in the process of preparing an update to the LotRO Store, and we are interested in getting your feedback!
