Heads up on something strange.

Heya fellow inqs,

Upon logging into the test server tonight, I find that our aincient teachings spell Verdict was gone from my knowledge book, Nothing mentioned in the patch notes,

Even the wife's sage has the spell still in her recipe book, but there is no description with it.

I have msgs into the QA here on test in hopes that this is a bug and we get the spell back. I would HATE for them to remove that spell and not give us a reason why or some sort of equal replacement.

I dont know about any of the rest of you, but I use that spell very frequently and will miss it very much.

I'm hoping this is a test server only bug that dont make it to your servers.

Will let you know what I find out.

The optimist in me hopes that they are taking a look at the spell to make it more usefulThe realist in me realises they are probably nerfing it or have accidently removed it and will insist it its working as intended until they can restore itI remember back when divine recovery was changed on test and subsequently live servers without an explanation, hopefully they will keep us informed this time

Well, this does certainly smell like the nerf bat is coming to visit on Verdict. I did think this spell was safe since it really is not that overpowered. I say this after using in various situations here and there from solo mobs to epics. It's nice and nifty, etc, but overpowered? - I think it's not.I would try to be optimistic as the message above suggests, but in my experience that is rarely justified in these cases.Hope I'm wrong.Tarta - 70 inqui - Guk

Aye, been reported and emails sent out to the QA persons. From what I'm hearing on test, this spell is showing up for every class on the broker, listed under Furies, Mages, Fighters, Scouts. Everyone has it show up on a class specific search, and none of them have descriptions. Sounding more and more like a bug.

Recieved word today that this is a now known issue and the fix will be in the next test update. Woot
