Monster Play
  • Monster players completing the tier five deed for defeating Burglar players will now properly see an alert when the Deed is complete.
  • Monster players who complete the tier four Deed "Slay the Enemies of Angmar" will now unlock only the tier five deed, not the tier five, six and seven Deeds.
  • We discovered that the leaders of Angmar's Army only valued the defeat of the Free Peoples' leaders as a level one Deed. This has been adjusted to the fitting level of 50.

  • A whole bunch of monster play class changes!
    • Overall
      • Some high-effectiveness skills have had their power costs increased
      • Some skills were not being affected by the Disarm or Ranged Suppression debuffs and now are.
      • The recovery timer on the "Odorous Salts" and "Solvent of Painful Freedom" has been reduced from 5 minutes to 2 minutes.
      • The cost of tracking charms and talismans has been significantly reduced.
    • Spider Weaver:
      • The Spider has learned to spit! She now has a ranged auto-attack and 'Tainted Bite' is now 'Tainted Kiss' and is usable at range! 'Tainted Kiss' has also become more deadly. (Sometimes I feel I've got to run away, I've got to get away...)
      • The Weaver's "Trapdoor Sanctuary" has gotten better. Now the spider can stay below ground for up to 60s (but can leave sanctuary earlier if she wishes).

    • Uruk Blackarrow:

      • "Flaming Arrow" was dealing damage twice on application, now only the effect deals an initial, larger burst than its subsequent damage ticks.
      • The Blackarrow's "Enhanced Skill: Hindering Shot" trait
        will now enhance the base skills so that it applies both a short root and the normal movement speed debuff as was intended.
      • The Uruk Blackarrow's ranged auto-attack was usable while moving, but should not have been. This has been fixed.
    • Warg Stalker
      • The Stalker's "Sprint" skill recovery time is increased
        from 5m --> 10m (reduced back to 5m with a trait).
