Sheepie and I did some BOE farm runs last night on T1 - super easy!

In both runs, a tarnished symbol fell in each.

If we can get a kin run going asap (before they nerf it) we can pick up some nice lewts! (not to mention the wyrmfire and sunbrand, etc. barter items falling)

Lets gets maximum attendance and pug the rest...

Yay for me. ... So the update brings interesting changes - esp for wardens. Yay for me.

You can read the full developers notes here. I'd just to highlight a few points of interest that I feel are quite important for us all - all info below is snipped from the notes,I've just highlighted what I thought was important.

Critical Rating Revision- important for our dps classes.

• Critical Rating now increases both chance to critically hit and the magnitudes of both your critical and devastating critical hits. Critical Hit chance caps or conversion rates have not been altered by this change.
• All skills (unless otherwise stated in the skill) have a base 1.5x Critical Damage and 2.0 Devastating Critical Damage. Critical Rating now adds to those values.

Fate/Power Revamp

Fate has undergone a rather large revamp and should now provide much more noticeable effects on ICPR and OCPR as players stat into itm. Will and Power have also undergone noticeable changes, as Will will no longer contribute to players' power pools or OCPR. Instead, players will receive an increased amount of Power at each level, and all skill costs will now be based on a percentage of this power. Each class has also undergone adjustments to their overall power consumption/restoration rates in an attempt to normalize combat longevity.


Changes to ALL Classes

Stat contributions are undergoing several changes:

• Agility will now provide 1 point of crit rating whereas Fate will provide 2.5
• Will will now provide 2 points of Tactical Mitigation to compensate for the loss of power contribution.
• Wardens will now derive their mastery ratings from both Might and Agility. Once U11 hits, these ratings will only be derived from Agility.
• Champions will now receive 6 points of Parry from Might rather than 4 points of Block and 2 points of Parry.

Power Pools have been adjusted.

• Non-Will users will gain 50 points of power per level whereas Will users will receive 65.
• Skill costs have been adjusted accordingly (based on Non-Will users' pools)

All skills have had their power costs adjusted to account for changes to Fate/ICPR. Several power restore skills/traits have also had their magnitudes adjusted for the time being as we continue to normalize Fate’s new contributions:
Burglar:

• Increased application chance of Mischievous Delight to 50% and increased power restored

Captain:

• Slightly increased the power restore of Improved Defensive Strike
• Reduced the Fate contribution from In Defence of Middle-Earth
• Reduced the ICPR buff from Herald/Banner of Hope
• Slightly Reduced the ICPR buff from Tactic-Focus and Song-Brother

Champion:

• Lowered the ICPR boost on all Champion stances as their effects were far too strong given the recent Fate revamp
• Increased the cooldown of Second Wind to 20s
• Reduced the ICPR provided by Controlled Burn

Guardian:

• Increased the power restore on Deflected Blows and Parried Blows
• Increased the power restore on Take to Heart and Thrill of Danger
• Reduced the power restore on Catch a Breath

Hunter:

• Reduced the power restore of Press Onward
• Reduced the power restore of Strength of Earth slightly
• Reduced the power return on Bow of the Righteous

Lore-master:

• Reduced power drain effect on Power of Knowledge
• Slightly reduced power restore effect on Power of Knowledge
• Channeling time has been reduced for Power of Knowledge from 17s to 8s (Untraited) and 25s
• to 16s (Traited)

Minstrel:

• Reduced the Fate contribution from Tale of Heroism
• Slightly decreased the power over time effect received from the Minstrel buff 'Vigour of the Minstrel'

Rune-keeper:

• Sustaining Bolt will now reduce power costs by 5% rather than 10%
• Reduced the power heal on Rune of Restoration

Warden:

• Lowered the ICPR on the Warden stance 'Determination'
• Increased the power restore on Dark Before Dawn

Class Specific Changes

Guardian

• The tooltip for the trait, "Quick of Foot" now accurately states that it reduces the cooldown of Stamp by 10s instead of 15s.

Minstrel

• Changed the Minstrel skill “Song of Restoration” to remove one Poison, Disease, Fear, Wound effect from a single target and changed “Improved Song of Restoration” to remove one Poison, Disease, Fear, Wound effect from a 15m area. Previously, these skills were used solely to remove Dread from defeat, and we no longer apply Dread on defeat as of Update 10.

Rune-Keeper

• Improved Rune-sign of Flame: Miss Chance buff has been replaced with a buff that allows skills to Bypass 5% of their target's Resistances.
• Scribe A New Ending: This skill now dispels 1 Poison, Disease, Wound, or Fear every two seconds, for six seconds from a target.

Warden

• Deeds *Warden *Some Assailment skills were not properly advancing deeds. Assailment versions of skills should now advance deeds as intended.
• Traits *Warden *The Trait "Skillful Blocking" is changing names to "Combat Positioning", and will now proc from Evades and Partial Evades instead of Blocks and Partial Blocks in keeping with the change from Might to Agility as a Primary Stat.

-----------------------------------------------------
Other than that:
All the "In Your Absence" clusters have been scaled to 85, read the full notes for that information. So we can hit Northcotton farm, Stoneheight etc. Nice that - as it opens a bunch of level 85 3 mans for those of us lingering souls.
Trail foods can be made at ovens, not just campfires.

Good day to you all

It has been decided by your Leader, that we will be holding The Bearers of the Light All Middle-Earth Knockout Sparring Competition, time and date to be decided.

The competition will be a knockout event, where random Kinnies will be placed against each other in a knockout style event that will decided who the strongest Kinnie is in the kin. The upside is that you can enter as mant toons as you choose.

what I want you to do is reply with the date and time you would like to hold this event and which toons you will be entering.

I was reading through my tweets last night and glanced at the developer chat with little interest until I saw that they are changing toons again - quite drastically, for example they are making the Warden's main stat Agility after Update 10 :yikes: :confused: They also mention other major class changes, saying that players are going to have to make tough choices regarding their play style.

From the patch notes:

Barad Guldur

• Reduced the quality of the regular boss chests for Durchest and the Twins on Tier 1 and Tier 2. They will no longer drop 2nd Age Symbols, among other things. Challenge chests and the Lieutenants chest remain unaffected.
• Reduced the chance of getting equipment drops for each player on T1 and T2 difficulty slightly.

on the other hand DoDG looks a better proposition:

Scaling Instances (Erebor and Dol Guldur instance 3/6mans)

• Adjusted the chance to get equipment drops. T1 will see a higher chance to get a piece of gear, which is most likely Rare, for each player. T2 will see a slightly higher chance to get equipment drops, with a higher chance to get a piece of Incomparable gear for each player.

It was as though a... Yesterday saw the dawn of a new era in Middle-earth.

It was as though a new star was suddenly blazed forth into the heavens, raining light and power over all who could bask in its glory. New steel was forged and honed under the auspices of all who dared to lay eyes on the magnitude of such an event. In short, I became the new kin leader. The moment that it happened, It felt like an emptiness had been filled, where otherwise a vacuous void left me bereft of meaning and purpose. I was born for this!

I started to think about what my first ask would be. Would I issue a new kin uniform? No, already been done. Would I issue a kin cloak, bearing my sigil on the back for all to see who my minions were? A bit tacky. Would I CHANGE THE KIN NAME? Yes!

I have a few suggestions that I would all like you to comment on:

1. Bearers of Rizzy's dinner.

2. Rizzy's Raiders.

3. Bearers of Rizzy, cos Rizzy is the Light.

4. Rizzle for Shizzle.

And finally,

5. The "R" Team.

These are just a few of the magnificent titles I thought of while I was contemplating the awesome power I now wield.

Don't all pounce at once, I know you all have your favourites. I don't want to influence you in anyway, but I must say that I am quite taken with "Rizzy's Raiders".




On another note, I also feel that in the spirit on the season, I have come up with my first task for all MY kinnies:

We are going to have a Christmas gift giving task :group:

We will have a Secret Santa type task, where everyone will be assigned a secret gift recipient and they will be required to give that gift on (or a little after) the 25th of December. What gift can we possibly give our most beloved kinmembers, you ask? Well, I'll tell you!

What is the one thing everyone loves to receive at Christmas? CLOTHES!

When you receive your special gift recipient, you will SECRETLY compile an outfit for them. Everything, from boots to cloak to hat. Once said recipient receives their gift, they will be required to wear that said cosmetic all through the rest of December up until the 15th of January. You may design anything you like. Something silly, serious or sweet. But it must be interesting.

The person who has designed the best outfit for Christmas will receive Stool's Tarnished Symbol as a prized, second place will get a noddy badge from Wonda, and third place will be allowed to level up my loremaster for me.

I will post a notice in the kin mail asking everyone to come onto the forum to decide on which new name they prefer and whether they will be participating in this mandatory (as in you will be booted from the kin if you don't) :bullwhip: gift giving activity.

Yours in dictatorship :shakefist:
