<P>Thank you for the concise list.</P> <P>I would also love to see a boost to the Aid line of 15-20% in damage healed.</P> <P>It would be great for our Wards to be castable on anybody, raid/group or outside of grp.  Or at least raid friends.</P> <P>And if at all possible to have movement causing interrupts eliminated at a certain mastery of a skill would be awesome.</P> <P>I think the idea of 360 degree mitigation is a good one and makes alot of sense.</P> <P>Also to note: reducing recast timers on our DPS spells should not also mean reducing the damage output.  It would be nice to get a small increase in DPS as well as smoothing out the rythm of the game.  Ideally, the 2 dps spells would have a 30 second recast timer, but I would prefer to have it be 40 seconds than incur a nerf to the damage output.</P> <P>Not too much to ask for I don't think.  If they were to make these tweaks for us and similar ones for other plate tanks, assasins, warlocks, and templars I think the vast majority of players would be happy again and view the combat changes as a major improvement.</P> <P>Thank you in advance for considering our requests.</P>

I don't think we do mitigate damage from outside of our frontal arc.  Unless I misunderstand how avoidance works, when you get hit in the back it hits alot harder.

I wish that they would fix the bugs with the Paladin (Shield Factor) and then worry about the wish lists! :smileymad:

<DIV>Everything in this wish list is true....When SOE will do something ???</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Paly level 53 on BB</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>Paladin changes:<BR></STRONG>- Courageous Wrath, Implacable Wrath, and Unyielding Will are now classified as Combat Arts and provide a Strength bonus.<BR>- Redemption can now be canceled by the recipient of the spell</DIV> <DIV> Ok that would be one of the top 10 things wanted looking Hopeful. Now if we could get some more Lovin like about 3 or 4 more things Id be ecstatic.</DIV>

[H3llburn]

<P>Any sign of some more Fixes especially on the bugged spells ?</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>I think I remember reading somewhere in some patch notes that it is parry avoidance that is frontal arc only.  Avoidance gained from other things might be 360 degrees, idk.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I like the list.  One thing I would really like to see is a reduction on the casting times of our high end sacrament line spells from 3s to 1s.  As I recall all of the level 40- sacrament spells had a 1s casting time, then suddenly, boom, 3s on devout sacrament.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Another thing I'd like to see is the return of warding on the run, but I think that change was intended.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Finally, it would be sweet if they introduced type-specific invisibility/pacify/fear spells into the game.  Invis to undead, the ability to lower undead aggro range or the ability to fear undead would be a great boost to our utility.  Fearing undead seems the most RPG-friendly option for paladins, at least, but I could definitely see pacify too.</DIV><p>Message Edited by RockstR257 on <span class=date_text>10-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:30 PM</span>
