Guard changes on Test Server 2007-08-29

<p>Some interesting changes on test server for us.</p><p> If Unyielding Will toggles, does that mean it's a buff that stays up all the time now and procs as long as the reuse timer has been met?</p><p>Edit: Actually, I guess if it procs, you'll have to recast it since you'll die and have to recast all your buffs. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>-----------------------------</p><p><b>Warrior</b></p><ul><li><i>Unyielding Will </i>- Improved reuse speed from 30 to 15 minutes. It now toggles.</li></ul><p><b>Guardian</b></p><ul><li><i>U</i><i>nyielding Will</i> - Adjusted reuse speed bonus from 180 seconds to 75 seconds per rank.</li></ul><p>The following Fighter group buffs now affect all raid allies:</p><ul><li><b>Guardian</b>: <i>Call of Command</i></li></ul><p><b>Fighters</b></p><ul><li><i>Intercept</i>: If the ally is lower than 50% health when this ability is cast, the Fighter can absorb two hits instead of one.</li></ul>

<p>*shrugs* Relatively speaking our most useless buff becomes raid wide. Doesn't bother me or change things a great deal. And please, I don't want to hear anyone [Removed for Content] about this. Everyone knows full well a raid wide Call to Seige or Return to War buff would be horribly over-powering.</p><p>The raid-wide Fighter buff changes were <b>intended</b> to make Crusaders, and <i>especially</i> Brawlers more desirable in a raid. Whether or not they will be after said changes are in effect is another question entirely.</p><p>I like the toggable effect on Unyielding Will, although minor in the grand scheme of things. Double intercept is a nice change, giving your one or two fighters(heaven forbid you have more in you raid!) greater ability to prevent another member from dying.</p>

<p>Ya, I was expecting our most useless group buff to become raidwide because guards already have a raid slot (or 2) guaranteed.</p>
