Stealth Upgrades/Fixes with Live Update 6

[Xalmat]

Couple of things I've noticed.First, they dramatically increased the quality of our particles again. They look [Removed for Content] awesome!Second, the fire illusion got an upgrade. Its now semi-transparent, as opposed to solid! Looks [Removed for Content] cool, even better than it did before.Third, our pet buffs got a HUGE upgrade. For example, pre-patch Varski's (at level 40) capped out at 57-70 damage, and it required the pet to perform an additional melee attack. Now, it's 130-218 damage, and it's a proc, so it can hit multiple times per combat round!Fourth, the Summoned mana conversion items are now expendable. Meaning when you use them, they go poof!And of course, the power drain on our pet buffs is now a thing of the past. You know what that means: we can use our power pools for doing things such as, i dunno, doing damage! Power consumption for me has fallen about 80% in any given fight.Sufficit to say, I'm VERY happy today

<DIV>I am real happy to hear that about the pet buffs.  Have you tried any other pets besides the earth one?  I wonder if the fire ones got any substancial increase due to the buff because then they could actually be benificial to groups!</DIV>

<DIV>What bugs me after each patch is WHY on earth don't they tell us theses things? Why does it always have to be by observation and testing? On another thread, a Conjuror is complaining about DoT power that seems to be lowered because of the new way DoTs are handled by resists.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't care about any change they do, but I would be happier knowing them before one of theses stealth change gets me killed...</DIV>

Well, the Aery Outrider Adept I still can't hold a candle to Tellurian Veteran Adept III, so I'd wager both the fire and air pets are still broke.

Well, I use <SPAN>Xoort's Igneous Savant </SPAN>(a lvl 30 training option) in groups all the time because of the massive AOE that it does.  I wonder what kind of benifts the buff will have on it.  Did you choose that option at lvl 30?

[Xalmat]

No, I chose Varski's because I believe it to be the superior choice.

<DIV>Not to mention Varski's doesn't need to be recast every 15 minutes it seems... *blink*</DIV>
