Update Notes 2.7 - 20th of July

CLASSES

Priest Archetype

All ranks of Saintly Martyr should now say that the priest gets both mana and stamina back from being hit.

Rogue Archetype

Alternate Advancement: Tainted Weapons will now only remove player heals running on the target, it will no longer remove heal potion effects.

Assassin

Grave's Blossom and Death Whirlwind have been adjusted. They will now scale somewhat differently for 1-4 Soul Fragments, and should still do about the same for 5 Soul Fragments. Both these combos will now also hit a second target with full damage, but will follow the normal rules for damage reduction on any targets beyond the second.
Grave's Blossom and Death Whirlwind damage has been reduced, but will now hit two targets with 100% damage.
Fixed an issue where the cone for Grave's Blossom was skewed and would pick targets on the assassin's right side.

COMBAT

Fixed an issue that kept you in combat and prevented out of combat regenerations from starting.
Receiving a buff will no longer pop you out of stealth.
An issue causing incorrect hate calculations has been resolved. This caused certain soldiers to generate large amounts of threat, making it very difficult for a second tank to regain aggro. This issue affected:

Irritate (for all soldier classes)
Cry of Havoc (Guardian)
Seal of Chaos (Dark Templar)
Retaliation (Conqueror)

BALANCING OF HARDMODE INSTANCES

Abyss of Kun Whu

The Healing spell Commune Life is now only cast every 24 seconds.

Coppice of the Heart

Balbet Zhun's Vampiric Mist will no longer randomly proc Healing Radiance - it can now only be applied once every 22 seconds at most to be more in line with the cooldown on Tainted Weapons.

Jade Dugout

An Additional 2:30 minutes has been added to the enrage timer in the Jade Dugout while in Godslayer Mode.

Palace of Yun Rau

The lesser regeneration spell in the Palace of Yun Rau will now only be cast every 22 seconds by Kwai La the Scholar.

Re-added the option to hide the power helmet and cloak (also in PvP minigames). These options are now found in the vanity tab in the inventory.

The Scrolls of Ankh-Ausar can now be correctly returned to Ankh-Ausar.
