Hey guys,
We've looked at the issues that players have brought up with the epic 1.5/2.0 effects and took those into consideration when making these modifications. We’re looking specifically at effects currently. Here is the list of changes that will be occurring to the epic weapon effects:

1) The click effect will be a 6/3 minute recast for the 1.5/2.0. We’ve also lowered the duration on the pet to 30 seconds and have doubled the pet’s damage, as well as the recourse amount. This should alleviate the issues with the pet lasting one minute, but only being effective for a fraction of that time due to killing NPCs too fast. Resist adjustment on proc will be set to -300 chromatic

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.ht...292&source=Live
1) The click effect will be changed to a 5 minute duration, with a 4.5 minute recast, making it a permanent effect. The strength of the buff will be reduced slightly: The proc on the 2.0 will be 200 damage and the defensive proc will not fire as often. The HP, Regen, and Mana regen remain the same.

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.ht...293&source=Live
1) The click effect will be a 6/3 minute recast for the 1.5/2.0. We’ll be reviewing the code on which runes wear off in which order, to make sure the epic effect wears off last. The lower hate on the 2.0 will be changed to 1200 hate and the 1.5 will be scaled up as well
2) The focus effect will now lower hate on all detrimental spells
Beastlord –

1) The click effect will be changed to a 5 minute duration, with a 4.5 minute recast, making it a permanent effect.

2) The focus effect will lower recast times on all nukes over 30 seconds
Berserker –

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.ht...295&source=Live
1) The click effect’s duration will be lowered substantially, to 2 ticks. It will be changed to a proc with a recourse that puts the buff back on you. So buff will stay up as long as you stay in combat. The damage will be tuned around this change. Also, each proc of the buff will have a small jolt added to it to reduce agro.
2) Cast time changed to .5 seconds
3) The focus effect will now reduce the reuse time on Blind Rage by 4/8 minutes
We’re open to feedback on any of these changes. We’ll also be requesting an increase in the number of buffs that can go into the short duration buff box; we’re thinking 9-12 buffs, and then moving all epic effects to that box. Please post any feedback on any of these changes here.
Thanks!
