Interesting... Update - Thursday, April 24, 2008
New end-game area: Players who complete Hell's Precipice (the final mission of the first campaign) will receive a Deldrimor Talisman. This trophy can be exchanged for one of the new Deldrimor weapons. The end-game area is permanent and will remain in place after the anniversary event finishes. Apparently it's the old TA outpost and the weapon skins are new. |

We did it last night.
The end area is the Droknar's Forge end-game area you see in GWEN; you see various Prophecies NPCs. It's pretty amusing if you remember the lore at all of the first campaign and some of the NPCs.
I personally don't like the skins again (dwarf weapons don't appeal to me, it seems); you do have a shot at something for your efforts this time.
You can get green/gold variants of the skins. Have to craft the gold ones though.

I wish they'd just state how it carries over already. :/
I keep wondering if there is any meaning to getting my characters to complete their PvE. It's a bit drab to go through EoN alone so I haven't been doing it.

ANet just tried to make splits more viable. That's all I see in this update.

LOL...
Apparently Izzy has been TA'ing and hates Smiteway even more than I do, because he just totally went to town on Smiter's Boon.
25 energy, 5 sec duration, 90 sec recharge.
That's not just a nerf... that's... wow...
Dude.

That's not just a nerf... that's... wow... Dude. That's epic. I laughed out loud when I saw it. Although... it makes me think: Khunlin makes a VoDPower build, ANet removes VoD. Khunlin hates smiteway, "Izzy" BAMPH!s smiteway. There's no Khunlinvision at all, is there? KHUNLIN IS IZZY!Looks like they've/you've also put a bit of pressure on water snare eles/messes and the thumpers... I think. EDIT: From the official GWW: " * During the 5 seconds duration you could cast 4 or 5 spells, which would net a healing of about 180 health on a reasonable divine favor. It is therefore clear that exchanging 25 energy for this amount of healing is a waste and it is therefore better to use any other monk skill for healing. " Hehehehe. The talk page is even funnier. eg "I'm pretty sure the April Fools' updates were more likely than a nerf of this magnitude" |

We can neither confirm nor deny the validity of the views expressed above >.>
But on a related note: Glimmering Mark + Spinal Shivers + Winter is funny stuff. Fun fact: most hex removals have a 1 second cast, meaning that it takes inhuman timing capability to get it through without being interrupted. I smell a gimmick build!

Awesome stuff.One war + one ele on each monk... Dazed is there to make stuff like RC take > 1sec to cast Our hall is actually quite spirit-friendly, what with the twisty walls and big cliff and stuff.

No idea if this is a side effect of the update or what, but apparently the new Hero MM AI is "Don't use Blood of the Master, even when you're standing still." I had MoW and Livia with 8 minions each, and they didn't once use BotM without me having to micro them and keep them alive.  |
