Sylvan changes

Written by: Tecton, the Terraformer

Addressed to: Everyone


I have the pleasure of announcing a large amount of changes stemming
from the Sylvan classlead report. The details are as follows:

- 3 new abilities were added: ECLIPSE, LACERATE (Viridian ability) and
HEARTSEED.

- THORNREND was modified to be able to target specified limbs.

- CAST FREEZE AT <target> was sped up for Sylvans.

- SWING STAFF was rewritten, changing its effects.

- DEEPFREEZE and HELLFUMES were moved to Magi elementalism only.

- GROVE ENTANGLE and GROVE THORNS were modified to be mutually
exclusive, should you activate one, the other will disable.

- The attack speed for GROVE GOLEMS was adjusted.

- As noted in the most recent events post, totems can no longer be
implanted in forest or jungle rooms.

As many of these changes deal with completely new mechanics, we will be
monitoring them closely over the coming days and making adjustments as
required.

This marks the first of a series of changes in the pipeline for both the
Druid class and the Groves skill, so stay tuned for future
announcements.


A big "thank you" to Blujixapug and the ACC for their efforts in testing
and balancing these changes.

Penned by My hand on the 4th of Chronos, in the year 489 AF.
