<DIV>I've been out of town for much of this past week, so I'm not sure when it happened.  But the Bazkul Bow's summoned Umbral Essence ammunition now does piercing damage instead of divine damage.  Hard to estimate what, if any, effect this will have on damage output from the bow.  But my sense has always been that most mobs have lower mitigation to divine damage than physical/piercing mitigation so I expect that my dps will decrease due to this change.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wondering if Ichorstrand Bow's summoned ammunition has likewise been changed.</DIV>

<DIV>I think this imay be good thing.  Didn't the divine damage require higher INT to get the full effect?</DIV>
