Griffon Merc spec in claws and in fist.

Right now, griffon tanking is one of the worst of all tanking combos. This would actually allow them to tank very well. *nods sagely*

Uh, Dulrik. Aura of Negation is an awesome thing... But....

Aura of Negation? Uninspired!

Why was it not called <something> shout/yell/roar??

A roar or yell would imply that it only works when you type the command. This actually creates an aura that lasts a short time or until it absorbs some magic. The barbarian can prepare the aura before a fight even starts.

Although I suppose it could have still been a roar. *shrug*

I honestly don't care if we change the name at this point. Feel free to make suggestions.

Referring to the fact that some skills and spells drop from mastered to good while berserking. Some spells weren't being counted. In practice, you probably couldn't see this bug unless you were an imm using berserk as another class, but there may have been some cabal spells mixed in that weren't working correctly. Fixed the system so it should apply universally.

Now NPC tribunal priests can no longer lighten load tribunal members unless they worship a heavy armor diety. Was this intentional? Does this mean only certain tribunals can now lighten load as well or was this taken from all? (update Zhenshi priests can still lighten load)

This greatly benefits lighty tribunals since the vast majority of their priests worship Alshain or Dulrik.

This is not true, neither of the priests in the Peacekeepers can cast it now.

The Black Hand should still have access to it since their priests serve Sargas, and the Midnight Council has Valeticia. I wouldn't be surprised if she's flagged incorrectly as like a priest of Zavijah.

However, I think all of them should be removed. Want lighten load? Make friends with a pc.

Valeticia is not a law NPC nor is she orderable. I am actually happy with lighten load being a heavy armor priest spell only, and not accessible to all tribunals. I hope it will be the same for all tribunals, since lighten load has always been a hoarder's spell.
