Question:

Has the Dreaded Dread War Horse also seen a nerf (it isn't mentioned in the patch notes, but complaints about one have recently been tied to complaints about the other)?
My follow up question will either be "Why not?" or "What are the conditions?"


Comment:
I'd like to repeat what Miss Echo said. Finish the last rewards before thinking of new contests.

"These carpets do not act as surface tiles, and cannot be walked on"
Why cant we walk on the carpets?
Obviously very easy to misunderstand. What they mean is they don't work like foor tiles in the way that Gozas do... they don't raise your elevation if you walk up a stack of them. Or at least that's my guess as to what they mean.

Wouldn't it be best to try it out first anyway? Not like its a hard quest.

Oh, right! It means you can't turn them into magical staircases ala the goza mats - they don't act as surfaces. You *can* walk on top of them in a house, and you *can* drop objects on top (but you have to be really good with the mouse-drag-dropping to drop it on the edge where it pops on top).

New Item Properties
Blood Drinker
 Allows an attacker to gain life from using the bleed attack
 Damage done through the bleed attack is directly transferred to the attacker’s health
Battle Lust
 Significant damage received from mobs will be added to the attacker’s Battle Lust, causing them to do more damage to all mobs they’re aggressing
 This damage bonus is further modified by how many opponents they’re aggressed against
 Damage bonus is 15% per opponent, with a cap of 45% in PvP and 90% in PvE
 Lust is gained every two seconds
 Lust decays at a rate of one point every six seconds
Damage Eaters
 Converts a small portion of damage dealt to the player (damage must be the same type as the eater) back to health
 Stacks with other eaters of the same type, capped at 30%
 The “damage all” type of eater is capped at 18%
Casting Focus
 A chance to resist interruptions while casting spells
Hit Curse
 Functions similarly to the spell “Curse”, but has a thirty second cooldown
Hit Fatigue
 Reduces the target’s stamina by a percent of the damage dealt by the attack that triggers the effect
Hit Mana Drain
 Reduces the target’s mana by a percent of the damage dealt by the attack that triggers the effect
Reactive Paralyze
 A chance to paralyze an attacker if the player parries their blow
Resonance
 Chance to resist spell-casting interruption if the damage received is the same type as the resonance
Soul Charge
 A chance to convert a percentage of damage dealt to the player into mana
Splintering Weapon A glass shard breaks off from the weapon, striking the victim to cause a bleed effect and forced walking
 Stacks with the regular bleed effect to cause additional damage and extend the duration of the special attack
A few Questions:

- Are these new item properties available through imbuing? (or are the properties only found on the according gargoyle artifact?)

- What are the percentages for the conversions?? Anytime the word "percentage" shows up it could be replaced by an actual number... Can we know what those are ??

Example..
"Hit Fatigue
 Reduces the target’s stamina by a percent of the damage dealt by the attack that triggers the effect

- The properties are only on new arties.

- The "percentage" is referring to the percentage after the property, like "Fire Eater 20%" I think.

Thank you for that clarification, Draconi, much appreciated.

And I would go and try myself, but I can't upgrade for some weeks due to rl $ constraints. Doesn't mean I can't make plans for what I want to play with though, heh.

Draconi:

Quick question - Can the new artifacts with the fancy new item properties be modified (converted?) to something humans or elves can use, or are they accessible soley by Gargoyles?

I'd like to be able to use them on my main PvE character without having to roll another one.

Thanks!

So I take it these are going to be Gargoyle Only for the foreseeable future?
