fetish master changes? 07/08/2012 03:49 PM CDT
Noticed today a significant increase in DS vs thrown weapons (maybe about +50DS on average?), and they've also started blocking the occasional toss with their staves. Also, did DS vs melee weapons go up too? And are you bow users seeing the same uptick?

Any GM care to chime in? Am I imagining things or is this a hurling tweak or a critter tweak?

I can't speak for the fetish masters, but I did notice some odd things the other day while hunting my wizard. Ogres, wraiths, vereri, and orcs were all deflecting bolts with melee weapons. That's extremely unusual. I haven't hunted him again since, but I saw it happen several times over a couple of days.

Most likely an accident related to other changes that went in. I'm investigating.

I've noticed Ithzir, specifically scouts, parrying arrows with their swords and a definate uptick in ranged DS as well.

Pyrothags on Teras were also parrying arrows with their glaes clubs somewhat frequently, which I've never seen before. I briefly had an image in my head of Zhang Yimou's Hero.

Obviously not an intended change, and as GameMaster Finros pointed out, it is being investigated.
