[Scenarios]
The reward scalers based on the average duration and classification of a scenario have been updated. Scenario rewards will now more correctly reflect the average duration across the board.
[Career Balancing]
Experimental Mode
The command ".ab ex" (ability experimental) has been added. This command functions for the Archmage/Shaman and Engineer/Magus careers and toggles between the standard mechanics for these careers and some experimental ones for RoR.
The changeset for Archmage and Shaman:
General changes:
+ Only one mechanic point is consumed, rather than all points.
The bonuses received by abilities from the career mechanic are now the following:
+ The effects of an ability on other players will use a bonus stat contribution which is derived from a factor of your total bonus stats from items, if this is higher than the ability's normal scaling stat.
~ Reduced stat contribution works as normal.
+ The effects of an ability on other players will use your Career Rank instead of your Mastery Level.
Bonuses for instant cast abilities and channeled abilities:
+ Effectiveness on other players is increased by 25%.
- Effectiveness on you is reduced by 20%.
Bonuses for cleanse abilities:
+ Cleansing abilities will build mechanic points as a healing ability.
+ Cleansing abilities will benefit from a reduced cooldown when used on other players.
Bonuses for all build up cast abilities:
+ The cast time is reduced by 40%.
Bonuses for non-lifetap build up cast abilities:
+ The AP cost is reduced by 40%.
- If you are the heal target, the effectiveness of the heal on you is halved.
Bonuses for lifetap build up cast abilities:
+ These abilities can be cast while moving.
+ These abilities have a 20% reduced chance to be defended.
+ The healing value of I'll Take That! and Balance Essence is 350% of the damage dealt.
+ The healing value of Fury of Da Green and Energy of Vaul is 200% of the damage dealt.
- Stat contribution is removed.
- If you are the heal target, the effectiveness of the heal on you is halved.
