A quest found within the zone has been adjusted to better reflect its intended challenge.<BR>- The amount of experience rewarded in the Emery Seastrider's Supply Run quest has been lowered, while the amount of coin has been increased. Additionally, the quest now targets sheep instead of wolves.<BR>- Corrected an issue causing players to occasionally wind up in odd locations when exiting their house or other small zone.</DIV></DIV> <P>===========================<BR>Moorgard<BR>EverQuest II Community Guy</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Does this mean that monks can tank again, or did they reduce that 139/100 deflection skill to 100/100 and make it even worse?</P> <P>I am at work and can't test it, feedback someone please  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>Ryni</P></DIV>

<DIV>I tanked pretty well @ level 22 against yellow ^^ before the patch.  After the patch @ level 23, blue ^^ rarely landed hits, groups of yellows were being deflected very often... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's like I can tank... *sniffle*</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Don't forget though that when we do get hit, it's for a lot.  We are still at the mercy of the random number generator, but at least the odds are stacked in our favor as they should be.</DIV>

<DIV>I checked my stats, and my deflection is still 139 at level 26.  I can't remember if deflection goes up as you fight (if it's like parry, etc) then I need to fight to make it go up.  But if it's supposed to go up automatically... they haven't fixed anything.</DIV>
