GU 48 spell change

<li>Warlock</li><ul><li>Gas Cloud and its upgrades are now maintained.</li></ul><p>So we can now run in to the middle of a bnch of unlinked mobs, toggle this on and not worry about it until the fight's over?  Or is it saying that there's now a recurring mana cost to it?  Anyone on Test have the info? </p>

When you cast it it has a duration to it because it stuns the target encounter.  If it shows up in your maintained window that means you can click it off early.  Not sure why you would, but maybe there was 1 encounter out there where you need to.

<p>I think they just wanted to put the Warlock class into a patch.  If this is actually what I think it is, it's completely useless.</p><p>The stun is what, 3 or 4 seconds?(I'm at work, can't check)</p><p>Seeing as how the spell is barely useful unless your fighting a linked encounter with over 3 mobs, I doubt this is going to have any positive or negative change on the spell or our characters.</p><p>In fact, I question why it was even listed in the patch notes, or bothered with.</p>

It's to get your mind on something else while they silently nerf another ability your not looking at, just like when they took nil crystals away and we were so happy only they forgot to mention they (fixed) took away propagation.

<p>it is a 1.5 second stunn in which on live right now does not go into your maintained window. on test it does go into your maintained window. Thats all this change does. Nothing game changing or altering</p><p>Now the change to DoT's is a huge change, especially for avatar fights and Trakanon fight in which the DS on them prevent us from casting our DoT's or rarely use them on those fights. I expect to see higher DPS numbers from warlocks on those fights.</p><p>EDIT: just read the post above me, they actually changed propagation way before the nil crystal change, just saying.</p>

<p>I was just being sarcastic.   I dont know when the changes occured.   =)</p>
