<DIV>I am not in Beta.  I do not have an NDA.  I have some rumors that I think SOE should be releasing and I am [Removed for Content] at thier silence so I will spread them for them.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So far I have heard we are getting a nice array of heals.  Heal over time and better general heals.  Not sure about reactives.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>DPS is def dropping for all tank classes as expected.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Zerkers get crushed on DPS.  I hear they are [Removed for Content].  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The rumor is Pally's fair pretty well in the revamp.  Keep your fingers crossed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I gave my source a list of questions.  They don't play my classes so info was sketchy.  Hopefully I can give you more specifics soon.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

What I have heard: (also not in beta, so no NDA here) -- Battle Rez = gone -- Our AoEs' = gone - replaced with group heals -- Our DpS   = gone - Refusal of Grace and Sworn Strike are getting nerfed hard -- Unwavering Faith = solo buff now <div></div>

This thread should be locked until the revamp is on test and isn't changing so much.</span><div></div>

I have not even had a chance to get the battle rez yet and was REALLY looking forward to it. Also I love our 2 aoe's, tehy make me feel like I contribute when there are lots of mobs. As long as the power to damage ratio is manage right and the max targets are done properly I cannot see how our AOE's are at all unbalanced. And they are really, really FUN to use if dangerous. After all when you have enough mobs beating on your to make them worth using your taking a lot of damage.<BR>
