Paladin Spell Release and Updates · on 9/7/2009 4:09:25 PM	149
(This is for Prime and Platinum, TF will come shortly) The spell Footman's Strike has been released on PREMIUM PREVIEW. - This is a 1st tier TM spell that does different types of damage based on the weapon you're holding. - The first of the eventual Paladin TM line which will include Smite Foe and Smite Horde at some point. The Halt spell has been tweaked. - Minimum/maximum prep and spell difficulty has been properly brought in line for first tier spell difficulty. (This is generally beneficial to you all) - No weird penalty to Paladins casting it due to bad code :P - No restriction on targets anymore - No change of spell backfiring onto caster (and the downside) - Duration was lowered to be in line with other contested spells. The Smite Foe spell has been temporarily removed (while it's being converted into true TM) and replaced with Stun Foe. - Pure Stunner that is now 2nd tier, with a prereq of Halt. - If you knew Smite Foe you will now know Stun Foe - Difficulty to cast brought into line with 2nd tier. - This spell is on GENERAL PREVIEW for now since it was changed up. I realize that some of these changes are probably not going to be popular, but the Lethal Spell directive is over a year and a half overdue and before positive work and growth can really be done on the Paladin spellbook this has to be done so we can move forward. However, if you would like to apportion rage and praise properly, Grejuva was the fabulous creator of the Footman's Strike spell and I brought the other stuff to you. Dartenian and I are committed to making sure the full Paladin spell revamp happens and finding ways to improve your overall repertoire as well as the Armor skillset. -Z
