Soulstone updates 01/08/2018 05:19 PM CST

Did this update reset everyone's pool? Also, soulstones check soul state, and not soul pool, correct?

Mine was at the maximum, but as I just checked, I'm getting the minimal messaging.

It did not touch your actual pool, but I may have screwed up reading it.

>>Also, soulstones check soul state, and not soul pool, correct?

It can check both, depending on whether you rub or exhale.

So I'm looking at your character now and notice your soul state is great but your pool is really, really low. Is it possible you were thinking of your soul state when you exhaled (which shows your pool)?

It's possible, I suppose. I assumed my soul pool was high as (until past 24 hours) I never used smite, and rarely used glyph of mana. I've also been doing some smite testing to determine messaging, but I never took it below zero, or saw messages to that effect.

I thought that (once upon a time?) attempting to smite without strength to do so would take a hit to the soul state, but I do not have a deep background or DR Lore or history.

Is this an appropriate place and time to ask about the 'flecks of blackness' in the power perception messaging?

No one ever explained it to me, but how does it fit into the 'new' paladin idea?

Speaking of which, are there plans to keep both soul pool and soul state? The two seem pretty closely intertwined.

Yup. I agree with the sentiment that went behind separating them -- it's both thematically squirrely and difficult to balance eating soul state to power your abilities.

That said, I'm unhappy with how the soul pool is figured and regens at the moment. I've got approval to shake it up, but I'm still contemplating the exact shape of it. In broad terms, I want to keep the max size of the pool roughly where it is, and significantly speed up regen pulses (possibly reducing the size of each pulse somewhat to compensate).

I'd like to know, too, if we may know at this point.

Please post the visions here or message them to me on Discord and I'll be glad to update it for the non-wiki-savvy!
