Posted by Captain Powerhouse,

I have a fix for this now, but for the time being: Next time you face this, try de-toggling Blazing Aura and give it 12 seconds (exactly, or more) and reactivate it. The proc gets granted every time you zone, within 10 seconds of zoning. If Blazing Aura is running already, the proc wont trigger until its deactivated and re-activated. There is also an additional issue with timing even if it applies, so that might not fix the issue, but might alleviate it.   Ideally: zone into missi

Yessss! I have tested that while this is mostly how it was being affected even versus even level enemies it would not always have the proper buff values, and even against higher enemies it would r was randomly have me at capped regen/recovery on rare occasions. Since there was something wrong with the code maybe that's fixed now too. I'll be testing and report back!

Thank you for all the bug fixes but I have one teeny weeny point to make. Why nerf Battle Axe? It’s an already an underplayed set and inferior to War Mace so why stomp on the poor guy more? Seriously that’s just upsetting :(

I could have sworn that trip mine always knocked back all opponents. Are you sure this was a bug?

 

I actually don't want the knockback in this power so I don't mind, but it looked off.

Woot! No more of Burn to act like Bonfire.  It was a comical surprise. 

I don't see where Burn was fixed in these patch notes.

Burn was never broken. It was blazing aura that was not taunting to keep them in it.

Well its not fixed in this round of patching.  I just logged on and tested it.

Any feedback on the increased "harrased" behavior of MOBs? I've perceived and tested this on several fronts, reporting test results on 50 water sentinel in Whirlpool. Foes seem to flee DoT en masse, and very quickly.

Do you mean burn still causes MOBs to flee? If so, perhaps there's a further issue. I notice this fleeing behavior on many DoT powers I had not seen triggering this behavior before.

Here to "ditto" the above posts that mob fleeing is unchanged from the last patch.  This was seen on a (wait for it...) Spines/Fire Brute.

Getting the same right now.

It was a heckuva lotta fun the past weekend using Fireball with Ragnarok for guaranteed knockdown and Avalanche in Soul Drain for same.  Combined with my storm powers, I don’t think I’ve actually killed anything while it was standing in several days now.

I thought this was “fixed” internally per CP?  Just not in this patch release?  Or not going to be patched like...ever?

Of the top of my mind (might be missing Trip Mine and Time Bomb) it has an 80% chance.

Wow! So thankful for all this hard work! I know there was a lot and you have to prioritize your time and that balancing a game with ~ a thousand base powerset/class combinations is a complicated dance  (Maybe some of us should try a little more patience) but this was a lot of stuff to get done!

Some people were mentioning increased harassed behavior as of the patch of pineapple, and I'm sure you're hear more about it if it's still happening, but just wanted to say my crew greatly appreciates your responsiveness, speed, and hard work. I have faith any minor inconveniences caused by the balance changes will be ironed out and was surpised that things I mentioned only a day or two before the patch went live got picked up and corrected! Didn't even see that kind of response rate when the original game had a full team!

p.s. "corrected terrible grammar made me laugh" XD

Same here. Mobs scattering like crazy and running far away.

This occurs with Lightning Field on Brute Electric Armor as well.

On the AoE DoTs I have used, they run pretty far too. Sometimes just right outside of the AoE, but some of them run for the hills.
