Det är en heldel bra saker som fått en overhaul..

Då patchtexten överskrider 20 000 tecken vilket är max på forumet postar jag den i 2 poster  



Update: Rift 1.01: 11/3/11 2:00am GMT


== FEATURED ==
* Experience for appropriately sized groups relative to the difficulty of Rift, Invasion, and Foothold content has been returned to higher amounts as seen previously in Beta.
* Water, Life, Death, and Air Raid Rifts are now available.
* You can now set how many quests to track on-screen at once (up to 10) by changing the setting in the Interface -> Display category.
* Shift-clicking to split stacks of items now works in your bank or bank bags.
* Fixed issues causing player armor to appear the wrong colors after respawning or Soul Walking.


GENERAL GAMEPLAY
* You can now link locations in chat! Just like other links, shift-right-click your map or minimap while entering chat text. Clicking someone's location link in chat will place a waypoint on your own map.
* You can swim up using the jump key while also in mouselook mode (default: right mouse button to look around).
* Added a custom error if you cannot use a questgiving item.
* Raid groups roaming across the lands to destroy non-Rift/Invasion content will see lowered experience rewards.

* Reduced the amount of zone event participation required to earn the rare Sourceshards.

Smaller groups will see increased experience reward.

* Increased the bonus health given to Rift NPCs when nearby player population is high. Also added increased damage based on population.

Hotfix #13: 2:00am BST 5/3/11

GENERAL
* The intensity of Alsbeth’s assault on Telara is increasing! The number of rifts, invasions, and zone events is rising in all zones!
* Fixed a bug that was allowing some creative people to equip one more weapon than they had hands for. This was not an intentional advantage of being an Ascended.
* Removed Valmera mounts from the resourceful Defiant players who managed to purchase them. Don't worry, we refunded the cost, and hope you enjoyed them while they lasted!
* The Dye Vendors will be returning from their vacation with this update.
* Guild and PvP Quests: Killing the same character more than once will again give credit toward these quests.

* Protective Companion's Pounce taunt now properly causes the taunt target to switch to the pet.

ELEMENTALIST
* Icy Carapace: Rank 7 now lists the correct damage for this ability.

VINDICATOR [PvP]
* Tactical Strike: Fixed an issue causing this to trigger several times more often than it should. Now triggers 5% per point spent. Damage increase to target has been reduced from 10% to 5% per stack. Description updated to note that this stacks up to 5 times.

VOID KNIGHT
* Residual Absorption will no longer show as a buff that can be clicked on to remove.

WARLOCK
* Empowered Darkness: Ability will no longer get overwritten by weaker buffs.


DUNGEONS AND RAIDS
* A number of Greenscale belts were incorrectly equippable by all characters. They are now limited by class for equipping.

* Crafted bow: The ability on Hawk's Talon was not triggering, and has been fixed.
* Crafted bow: Verdant Archbow's tooltip has been corrected so it properly lists the damage done.
* Relic-quality items should now be Salvageable and Runebreakable, although why you would want to break such lovely items remains a mystery. But you can, if you want to!

[Formy_C]

Hotfix #14: 2:00am BST 8/3/11

WORLD EVENT
* Rings from the event merchants are now properly labeled as 'Unique'. These rings were previously set to be Unique but the text was not appearing on their tooltips.
* Added a display for the level requirements to Shadetouched Weapons Cache quest starting items. The level requirements existed previously but were not displayed on the item tooltip.
* Death Rift: Eternal Souls: You know that dragon that had wings but liked to walk a lot? He flies now!
* The Battle for Freemarch zone event now rewards Otherworldly Sourcestone for participation while the River of Souls event is underway.
* Adjusted the stage objectives for the River of Souls event Rift, 'Pride Before the Fall'. Added better messaging to the stages involving the Soothing Stone Light.

* Fixed a bug where the Sir or Dame title would occasionally not be sent to eligible characters.
* Corrected the stats on the essence 'Elusive Prey' to have Melee Critical Hit instead of Spell Critical Hit.

ZONES
* Fixed issues in high-level zones that could cause Invasions to not spawn. This should help with zone events not spawning their Invasions as well.

SANCTUM
* Scotty's Induction Ceremony for the Runeguard will no longer be interrupted by hostile creatures appearing in the same area.

SILVERWOOD
* The rare spawn mob, 'Pandora', can now be killed by Defiants.

* More audio volume-level fixes for sounds playing too loudly (level up, anyone?) or too quiet.


CRAFTING
* A system fix to Unique-Equip crafted items that made them look for the base item when checking the Unique-Equip status went in with the 1.1 patch. This made identical rings or weapons with different Augment or Rune types unable to be equipped at the same time (or re-equipped if you already had them on a character and removed one or both). We are taking a look at the current Unique-Equip crafted items affected by this to see if further adjustments to their power are needed in order to keep them desirable.
* You can no longer close opened crafting reward containers and lose items left inside.
* Quests from dropped Cloth starters (The Caress of Cloth, Textile Texture, and From a Humble Scrap) can once again be completed and lead to the follow-up provided by the turn-in NPC.
* Calamitous Runes and Ravaging Runeshards now provide Spell Critical Hit. Devastating Runes and Destructive Runeshards now give Melee Critical Hit.


SETTINGS
* Added a self-cast modifier key dropdown under Settings -> Combat. This allows you to set a key that will always try to self-cast an ability if that key is held while the ability is used (such as setting up 'Alt' to allow 'Alt+1' to attempt to self-cast the ability in hotbar slot 1).
* There are now two sliders to scale the size of player and NPC nameplates under Options -> Name.
* Video recording: A bit rate slider has been added to the recording options window that will affect the quality and size of the video created.


CLIENT/SERVER
* Coin lock should be behaving better for players who also run VPN software on their machines.
* Server performance improvements.

[Formy_C]

WORLD EVENT
* Phase 2 of the World Event has been rescheduled for April 16 at 12:00pm server time, due to the stability issues discovered this morning. The World Event UI now shows the updated date.
* For Phase 1, new Trinket items, Lesser Essences, and weapon glow effect items have been added to the World Event merchants.

Deras sjuka humor har visat sig i flera patch meddeladen. Även inne i spelet finns det flera exempel. Kvinnliga NPC:er som svimmar vid synen av en acended. Psykedilska svampar i quest, man tvättar ekorrar med såpa för att dem är smutsiga. Man får fickludd när man lootar. Skumma npc:er som bedyrar att dem är människor men säljer väldigt ickemänsklig mat (jepp dem är bodysnatchers) osv osv.

* Reporting spam for an offline character will no longer fail.

SPOILS OF WAR - PRELUDE
* The Planes of Earth and Fire are suddenly showing an increase in activity, expanding their reach into zones previously left to other planar forces. Their Rifts and Invasions grow more numerous - but why?

* Thalguur: The 'Power of Luxury' buff now grants 40 attack power per application, up from 20. That's TWICE AS MUCH LUXURY!

DUNGEONS & RAIDS

  - Right-clicking an Artifact in your inventory fills the Search field with the name of the Artifact and performs a search.

Press Release - RIFT™ TO OFFER FREE CHARACTER TRANSFERS

    RIFT™ TO OFFER FREE CHARACTER TRANSFERS

    Gather your friends in RIFT and play anywhere, any time

    When the next major RIFT™ update hits early this summer, subscribers will be treated to a surprise – free character transfers. Trion Worlds announced today that with RIFT 1.3, players will have the ability to move to select servers in their territory once each week, taking all items, achievements, and titles with them. Additionally, guild leaders will be able to move their guild’s level and experience.

    “MMOs are all about playing with your friends no matter which server they’re on, and that’s why we’re offering this as a free service to our subscribers,” said Scott Hartsman, Executive Producer. “RIFT is both a game and a service, and adding free server transfers is just one more way we can make this the best possible MMO experience available.”

    Whether you want to play with friends, check out a new server, or avoid queue times on highly populated servers, you’ll be free to move about Telara. As a part of this grand experiment, there will initially be no limits on the number of times you can transfer your characters or guild.

    Character transfers will remain a free service for the foreseeable future, and could become a permanent addition to the RIFT experience. Subscribers will be able to perform the transfers inside of the game itself once the patch is live.

UI/SETTINGS
* Added a 'Unit Starting Price' field to the Auction tab of the Auction House. This lets you set a starting price per-item when listing a stack of items.

* Inquisitor: Ritual of Judgment: This once again applies properly to the DoT portion of Sanction Heretic.

RIFT 1.2.1 Hotfix #3 - 7/6/11

RIFT 1.2.1 Hotfix #4 - 10/6/11

GENERAL

* Players who die during boss fights in instanced Raids and Dungeons should always be eligible for loot rolls, even when Soul Walking back to the instance.

* Shimmersand: Twisted Perfection: Fixed an issue that occasionally caused the Cyclone Lord to not appear when summoned.

[Ceder]

  Verkar som att 1.3 är slutet för solo healing för chloros..

* New Ability: Lifebound Veil - Causes Life damage dealt by the Mage to heal up to 5 allies within 20 meters for 15% of the damage done for 1 hour. All other spell damage dealt by the Mage heals allies for 5% of the damage done. Spells that damage more than one target have healing generated by Lifebound Veil reduced by 80%. Life based damage over time effects heal allies for 25% of the damage done by the first damaging tick of the effect. The Mage cannot receive healing from other Lifebound Veil or Lifegiving Veil effects while affected by this buff. Does not trigger a global cooldown. Cannot be purged. This is obtained after spending 11 points in the Chloromancer soul.
* Synthesis: Now increases healing received from Lifebound Veil by 100%. Reduced cooldown to 10 seconds. This cooldown is shared with Lifegiving Veil and Lifebound Veil. Now applies or refreshes Lifebound Veil when cast. Will no longer be removed when the affected player changes zones.
* Lifegiving Veil: Increased the base single-target Life damage to Healing conversion to 80%. This now shares a 10 second cooldown with Synthesis and Lifebound Veil. This can no longer be purged.

De (trion) gör om vår nuvarande Lifegiving Veil till Lifebound Veil och ändrar den från 80% av life dmg till 15%, sen ger dom oss en ny Lifegiving Veil som funkar som nuvarande men endast på ett target..

characters in low to mid level ranges should no longer be sent to zones of a higher level than they can

characters and only ever showed friends as offline.)
* Transferring a character with names that do not pass the naming filter on the destination shard will now be

forced to rename the character if they agree to continue with the transfer, rather than having their character

locked from transferring.

* The Essences available from the event merchant are now flagged as Unique Equip instead of Unique Equip-Family. You can have more than one of the type equipped as long as they are not identical items.

RIFT 1.3 Hotfix #6 - 2/7/11

You will not be attacked by guards for running a beneficial aura ability on a group member who becomes aggro to them.


ZONES
* Fixed a case where sometimes the zone boss would not spawn for Ancient Wardstones in Scarlet Gorge, Scarwood Reach, and Droughtlands.
* Freemarch: Ark of the Ascended quests that involved spending time underwater have been removed. Characters who still have these quests will still be able to complete and turn them in!

* Mathosia: Fixed players failing to teleport to Silverwood if they crashed or disconnected just after shattering the Shade of Regulos.

======================================
RIFT 1.3 Hotfix #5 - 1/7/11

CHARACTER TRANSFERS
* Instance lockouts are now transferred with characters. However, two players that were previously grouped for an incomplete instance will not be able to continue it once they have moved, as each character will receive their own copy of the instance.
* Added an additional warning for characters attempting to leave a guild that has already been transferred.

GENERAL
* Fixed the main map appearing all black when zoomed out on certain hardware.
* Warfronts: Allow mixed Warfronts to start with solos, duos, and premade groups after a number of non-premade matches are started. This should help with the extra long wait times for premade groups on some shards.
* Guilds that are in the process of forming cannot interact with Guild Bank features.
* Take two on being able to change targets while stunned - now also includes Transmogrify, Incapacitate, and Fear.
* Fixed a bug where some tier 2 Expert LFD queued players were asked to fill roles they didn't actually have Tier 2 gear for.

====================================
RIFT 1.4 Hotfix #7 - 18/8/11

GENERAL
* Added a new group loot setting, 'Need vs. Greed', which only allows characters to roll Need on equipment types that match their calling (Chain for Clerics, Leather for Rogues, etc.) - this setting is now used in Warfronts and LFG-formed groups, and is optional in player-formed groups. The pre-existing 'Group Loot' setting allows open need/greed rolling on any item type, and has not been changed.
* Equipment no longer counts toward item sets if it is equipped in a Wardrobe slot.
* Guildmates in Slivers now show where they are in the Guild Roster - it displays the Sliver name instead of the zone the Sliver is in.
* Added a new error message to better indicate if you're trying to purchase an item using a currency either equipped or in your bank (such as PvP rank gear).
* Fixed an occasional case where quest update messages could get stuck on-screen.
* Fixed several quest items that were incorrectly allowed to be traded.
* Revised the tooltip message shown for item sets that include Synergy Crystals when the Crystal is not equipped.

* The 'Lord of Madness' title is now 'Mistress of Madness' for female characters.


COMBAT
* The Dragon Mote effect, 'Burning Out', should no longer apply on players' pets. It should also be removed from any pets which have it - they may need to be resummoned to remove it.
* Archon: Lingering Dust will now apply the buff on the caster even if the target is immune to the Slow debuff.
* Companion pets have been removed from the tab-targeting rotation.


DUNGEONS, SLIVERS, RAIDS
* Raid instances no longer claim party members are entering an 'Expert' instance when they join someone who is zoning them into the raid.
* Deepstrike Mines: Expert: Fixed an issue where Gatekeeper Kaleida's Earth Crystal was not spawning.

DROWNED HALLS
* Hydriss: Adjusted the damage of Tsunami so it no longer has such a wide damage variation when it hits.
* Isskal: Fixed an issue that could cause him to cast Ice Shard during the Whirl of Death and Glacial Wave phases.

HAMMERKNELL
* Grugonim: Fixed an edge case that could potentially keep Grugonim invulnerable below 10% health.


CRAFTING/ITEMS
* Crafting Rift lures now stack to 20.
* Crafted item sets for casters that should be giving Spell Power were providing an incorrect Endurance boost. This has been corrected and these items should now properly provide a Spell Power bonus.

ZONES
* Moonshade Highlands: Removed the elite mobs around the Hammerknell Fortress raid entrance.
* Scarwood Reach: The mobs summoned by portals in the Sagespire have their health reduced to be in line with most mobs in the game. These also no longer grant experience. The quest 'Tower Defense' now gives more experience on completion to account for the removed kill experience.
* Scarwood Reach: Realigned Priorities: The Guardian Raiders no longer flag you for PvP and also no longer hit like trucks.
* Stonefield: An Unwanted Assignment: Fixed the Risen Horror not granting credit.


CLIENT
* Discovery Log: Added _Expert to the end of Expert map names.
* Discovery Log: Harvested items (artifacts, herbs, ore, etc) are now written to the log as <harvest>...</harvest>.

Det var ju en del intressanta grejor, bl.a. "Need vs Greed". Innebär det att det finns ännu en inställning för loot eller är det alltid så att man inte kan greeda på en pryl ens klass inte kan använda? Himla dumt då vi ju t.ex. låter Snownert ta allt som vi inte behöver så han kan "spränga" dom?

Sen gillade:

* Inquisitor Garau: Fixed an issue that could cause Garau to no longer cast abilities on his main target.

* PvP Rifts: You now receive credit for attempting to pick up Sourcestone in a PvP Rift, rather than only for successfully picking it up.
* Some Rifts were dropping essences that were of too high of a level for the zone the Rift appeared in. They don't do this anymore.

* Updated the description on Heroic Prestige Vials to indicate that Prestige gain is only increased on kills.

* Fixed the spawning of mismatched or non-animating Rift visuals.


HAMMERKNELL
In an effort to reduce the possibility of player fatigue during some boss encounters inside of Hammerknell we've made a few adjustments.  The intention in most cases is not to reduce the overall difficulty, but primarily to decrease the length of some of the encounters.

* Inwar Darktide
  - Many abilities no longer require the NPCs to have line of sight to the target.
  - Reduced Hit Points of many of the NPCs to reduce the length of the encounter.
  - Undertow's Tidal Wave will no longer hit players behind it.

* AddOns for RIFT will soon be going into live beta! These are optional tools that can be used to enhance your personal gameplay experience.


= ASHES OF HISTORY - WORLD EVENT =
* Two dragons of the Blood Storm have been defeated, but four still remain. With Akylios' influence waning, the ancient Travel Stones, once buried, are on the verge of rediscovery.
* The cults of Laethys and Maelforge seek control of these long-abandoned portals to help them bring forth a future of fire and chaos. If Telarans wish to regain them, they'll need all of the Ascended help they can get!
* Keep an eye on your World Event UI for the start of this world event.


= CHRONICLES =
* Chronicles, epic storyline experiences for duos and strong solo characters, begin rolling out with 1.5.
* The Chronicles of Attunement is a solo experience for all characters who reach level 50, congratulating them on their journey and introducing players to the Planar Attunement system.
* Duo or strong solo 50s can enter the Chronicles version of Greenscale's Blight or Hammerknell to take part in additional storylines separate from the Raid versions of these zones.
* The rewards for Chronicles - outside of taking part in the story itself! - include Planar Attunement experience, gear of use to newly-50 Ascended, and chances at unique artifacts, new and old vanity items, and mounts from prior events.
* Level 50 characters can access the new Chronicles window from the menu buttons on-screen or by pressing the 'J' key.
* Under times of high demand, Chronicles will use a queue system to make sure everyone gets their turn!


= PLANAR ATTUNEMENT =
* Advancement doesn't stop at level 50; after the Chronicles of Attunement, you can start earning Planar Attunement experience to further customize and enhance your character!
* Planar Attunements provide base enhancements to your character's Calling from each Plane, and is not Soul-specific.
* Your experience bar will turn into a Planar Attunement meter when you reach level 50. The mouseover tooltip will indicate that you are earning experience toward Planar Attunement.
* You must purchase all Planar Attunement abilities of a given tier before you can begin spending points in the next tier up.
* Rested experience does not apply to post-level-50 Planar Attunement experience.


= VETERAN REWARDS =
* Our players are what make RIFT possible - as a 'thank you' from us to you, additional bonuses are earned based on how long you've been with us in Telara.
* Veteran Rewards are calculated based on prior existing time subscribed as well as any purchased future subscription time on your account. For example, if you've been subscribed for 3 months and renew a 3-month subscription, you will receive 6-month Veteran Rewards at the time the renewal occurs.
* Check your in-game mailbox to receive Veteran Rewards!
* For additional details including the list of rewards and milestones, see: http://www.riftgame.com/en/game/veteran-rewards.php


= MASTER-MODE DUNGEON - DARKENING DEEPS =
* For those Ascended looking for a group-sized challenge, new Master Mode dungeons are underway, starting with Darkening Deeps.
* Intended for elite groups of Ascended, these Master modes may require you to use multiple roles and advanced tactics including crowd control and support souls.
* Epic rewards await those who successfully complete these dungeon modes; dropped items are more powerful than tier 2 Expert gear and provide an alternative to Raid Rifts and entry Raids for gear. There are rumors of a few super-powerful items to be found as well!
* Groups wishing to tackle Master Mode dungeons must form up and enter the zone with the Master dungeon difficulty selected. Master Mode groups cannot be formed through the Looking for Group tool.
  

= NEW WEEKEND WARFRONT - LIBRARY OF THE RUNEMASTERS =
* A new Warfront joins the weekend rotation - this one in an all-new setting!
* Within the depths of Hammerknell, Guardians and Defiants fight to take control of abandoned Dwarven Rune vessels. With the ability to bind powerful planar beings, these artifacts could prove invaluable to the armies of Ascended.
* Join the fight to control these powerful vessels - but be warned, the longer one is within your grasp, the more its dark power will eat away at your soul.
* Earn points for your team by holding the relic as long as possible. None can withstand the power of the relic for too long, though, and the carrier will take an increasing amount of damage until they die. Points can also be gained by defeating enemy players.


= ENDGAME RIFT & ZONE EVENT REWARD UPDATE =
* Awesome new weapons, armor, and Synergy Crystals have been added to the Planar Goods merchants that can be purchased with Inscribed Sourcestone - these are expert-level equipment and worth checking out as a means of gearing up your character!

* Significantly increased the rate in which players can obtain Inscribed Sourcestone.
* Items that used to cost Crystal Sourcestone have had their costs converted to Inscribed Sourcestone.


= WARFRONT ACCOLADES =
* A new Warfront Accolade callout system gives recognition and group bonuses to Favor, Experience, and Prestige for completing a variety of certain feats in Warfront PvP.
* Example feats include the defeat of two opponents at once, defeating multiple opponents in a row without dying yourself, or for saving a teammate from the brink of death with a well timed heal. There are even Warfront-specific feats for unique actions!


= GUILD WALL =
* A new tab in the Guild UI allows members to post messageboard-style updates for all guild members to see. Use it to set up Raids, Events, or just to coordinate with friends who may not be online at the same time.
* Permissions allowing members to post on the Guild Wall, or to delete posts, are set under the Rank permissions settings.

* Combined some of the level range chat channels - new channel ranges are Level 1-29, Level 30-49, and Level 50 chats.
* When your character is automatically added to a new level channel (when reaching 30 or 50), we'll no longer also remove you from the old one.


RIFTS AND INVASIONS
* A new zone event weekly quest is available from Raj Tahleed in Meridian and Abbess Katia in Sanctum.

* Attempting to use Master Looter to grant loot to a member who is offline now has a more useful error message.


GUILDS
* Guild Perk: Bloodthirsty: Duration increased to 10 seconds, percentage healed lowered to 5-15% healing, and now cannot trigger a second time while active.

ARCHON
* Disorient: Now triggers Swift Control when the stun portion successfully lands, instead of when the confuse portion hits.

ROGUE
* Increased Energy regeneration rate to 23 per second.
* General gameplay goals for the rogue update:
  - Competitive PvE Alternatives to Sabodancer, both melee and ranged.
  - Competitive PvP DPS. You should fear seeing a Rogue the same way you see a Warrior. Of equal Prestige Rank, the two should be capable of providing a similar amount of PvP threat.
  - Survivability improvements.  Some self heal improvements and vampiric-type Healing Siphons - Abilities that reduce the healing intake capacity of one's target, with a portion of the stolen amount going to the rogue.
  - Better synergies between souls.
  - More utility without giving up the majority of their DPS to get it, bringing them closer in line to the flexibility that other callings have.
  - Large pack tanking improvements - Improvement to threat on multiple mobs
  - Running capacity remains -- BUT, Double-teleport-invulnerable runner (the "bugged" one) goes away.
  - Reduction in required reliance on "unfair" tactics (invuls, slips, etc) via adding true competitive power

ASSASSIN
* Gameplay goals: More up front damage, less reliance on super-long, annoying DoTs.  Better poisons.  Less "waste a finisher to apply a short buff."  Slip Away should not be a requirement to compete.
* Virulent Poison, Lethal Poison, Leeching Poison, Debilitating Poison, and Serrated Blades no longer trigger damage shield effects.
* Baneful Touch: No longer a combat finisher ability. Now a self buff that increases the damage of all weapon enchantments by 20%. Unlocked after spending 20 points in Assassin.

Lasts for 1 hour. Up to 2 weapon enchantments can be applied at one time.

* Serpent Strike: Energy cost reduced to 10 from 20.
* Impale: Damage has been increased. Duration increased to 20 seconds, up from 16.
* Hidden Veil: Fixed a bug where this wasn't working properly or would enter a cooldown period when you also had Camouflage, Step Into the Shadows, or Slip Away.

BARD
* Gameplay goals: A little more low level survivability - More of a reason to take this as a 3rd solo soul if you're inclined to get some more survivability back.
* Motif of Renewal - New Ability: Unlocked after spending 6 points in Bard. Heals the Bard over 15 seconds, does not stack with Motif of Regeneration.
* Triumphant Spirit: Healing bonus is now applied to Motif of Renewal.
* Motif of Regeneration: Fixed a bug where this would end prematurely when another grouped Bard used their Motif of Regeneration.

BLADEDANCER
* Gameplay goals: Should be a viable in-your-face combat rogue.
* Combat Culmination: Corrected the tooltip on this ability - it now indicates that unused combo points are refunded at 10 Energy per point (rank 2) or 15 Energy per point (rank 3).

INFILTRATOR [PvP]
* Cleanse Soul: No longer takes you out of stealth when used.

MARKSMAN
* Gameplay goals: No longer suffers an identity crisis around being the mobile-soul-that-requires-mostly-stationary-play.  Pedestals are gone.  Sniping remains.  They get enchanted Ammo buffs (via their new "Munitions" line), and can bring one more ability into an AE rotation.  New survivability as well.  Better synergy.

The Marksman is healed for 50% of any healing the cursed target receives. The healing siphon works for both overhealing and incoming healing from procced effects and takes precedence over other healing debuffs on the target.
* Silver Tip Munitions: Unlocked at 51 points. Ranged weapon attack abilities debuff the target, causing them to take an additional 2% damage from the Marksman for 10 seconds. Stacks up to 10 times. Multiple Marksmen can stack the debuff on the target, but are only affected by their own application. 1-second internal cooldown on this ability.
* Controlled Fire - New Ability: Available with 38 points spent in Marksman. Reduces the Energy cost of all ranged weapon attack abilities by 10% and increases the Attack Power damage bonus by 10%. The bonus is increased by an additional 5% for each point spent in Marksman above 38.
