Shattered Kingdoms

Burning hands seems to take 10-20% more mana now to kill the same NPCs I was killing yesterday for less.

Spidermonkey is going to pk everyone now playing the OP warlock class

Hardly, I don't have the patience to PK. Just playing with the class to see the features.

Keep in mind that we swapped burning hands and shocking grasp. That means the costs were swapped as well and burning hands now costs more than it used to. This seemed appropriate because burning hands is a multitarget spell whereas shocking grasp is only a single target spell.

On top of that if you are below initiate status, Burning hands is now a spell that is a higher level than you. Higher-level spells always have an additional cost, even if you had learned it before the update. The trainers have all been updated so I would suggest going back to learn shocking grasp.

I wasn't under initiate. It makes sense now that it costs more.

You need to do something about the throw code even with stone skin stuff well under half my level RAPES me with it. 6 newbie NPCs hit with earthquake blow through my stone skin in like two to three rounds and then easily get me to 30% or below if not dead. I understand the need for the throw code but it is insane while trying to level and use all these cool spells. I understand there is a way around it, but sheesh.

edit: I have to add I take less damage at this level in the same area with a bard using b augmented sixth and f minor than I do trying to use earthquake on a quarter of the NPCs. Throw damage is just way overboard compared to melee.

second edit: earthquake at least does damage now, yay!

After a quick search I could not find a trainer for this new dig spell. Is it supposed to be special?

KDs will have to add the spell to trainers.

There it's a trainer for it

Yes, it means that I did not list abilities that are considered secret in the game. A few of them might be Impair spells as well.

As far as which ones were selected, I explained this in a prior post - maledictions and some warlock abilities.

I find this to be an interesting assertion. Throw does not do more damage or happen more often just because you are a warlock. If you are really taking less damage by not having a NPC to tank for you as a bard, how about just moving to the front row when you cast earthquake and seeing if you take less damage?
