Wait...what? Update? I admit I haven't been keeping tabs on SB lately, but they're still updating it?

Some changes that went in:

* removed all stacking run buffs in hopes of improving lag - now everybody is slower and just as laggy. Problem is that not everyone was slowed down equally and snare/root mechanics were not adjusted.
* added A LOT of damage absorbers trying to bring more mages into play - this resulted in healers equivalent classes (i.e. healer channies, healer doomies) getting damage absorbers and becoming A LOT harder to kill
* removed /tar and blue dots - intention was to slow down large fights and to give glass classes a bit more chances in a large fight. It ended up brining stacks back in force and made numbers even more important

Overall - poorly planned, too amny things thrown in at once Grade A train wreck. Sadly Ashen is nowhere nearly as good designer as he was community manager.
Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.
