===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.70v Release Notes
June 1, 2004
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Spell Piercing bonuses now correctly modify resistances downward instead of upward, for direct damage spells, debuffs and damage over time spells. A level 50 character can not have more than 10% Spell Piercing effect up at any one time (from items or spells); any Spell Piercing over 10% is ignored (previously Spell Piercing was "capped" at 25% for a level 50 character).
- (Pendragon Only) It is now possible to join groups engaged in player vs. player combat.
- (Pendragon Only) The Banelord master level abilities now work correctly.
NEW FRONTIERS
- Players holding relics should no longer gain a movement speed benefit from water breathing potions.
- A prescience node has been placed at each Frontier dock. These nodes are permanent and cannot be attacked.
Realm Ability Changes and Fixes
- The Mastery of Stealth realm ability has been temporarily disabled while we adjust this ability.
- The remainder of the unique realm abilities are now available for testing on Pendragon. This includes the following:
Animist - Fungal Union
Bard - Dreamweaver
Druid - Nature's Womb
Hero - Tactics
Mentalist - Selective Blindness
Valewalker - Vale Defense
Bonedancer - Allure of Death
Hunter - Entwining Snakes
Skald - Epiphany
Thane - Chain Lightning
Shaman - Restorative Mend
- The Animist's unique realm ability, Fungal Union, now gives the Animist a 10% chance to not use power when casting a spell.
- The Bonedancer's unique realm ability, Allure of Death, now gives 90% resistance to crowd control, and complete immunity to nearsight.
- The Bard's unique realm ability, Dreamweaver, breaks when the target swings a melee weapon or fires a ranged weapon. This illusion will not use casting animations when casting.
- The Nightshade's unique realm ability, Remedy, now blocks all item-based proc effects (reactive armor as well as weapon based) if active (instead of blocking damage-over-time damage).
- Dashing Defense now plays the correct parry or block animation, depending on the action taken.
- Soldier's Barricade will now successfully cast on the pets of group members when activated.
- The Infiltrator's unique realm ability, Assassinate, can now only be done when stealthed and is cancelled when unstealthed. Assassination is also cancelled when attacking with a crossbow. The message returned from attacking another target and when attacking the target prior to assassination being ready now prints the same error message, "Your attack cancels your assassination attempt".
- The Blademaster unique realm ability, Blade Barrier, now works correctly.
- The Fury of Nature unique realm ability now correctly checks for range to group members when trying to heal them and includes both style and regular damage in the total to heal.

- (Bug Fix) The Desperate Bowman unique realm ability is now working correctly.
