Posted Jan 30, 2013...And did they really just buff Wave of Light again? Not the runes, but 45 to 96% damage as the aftereffect.

Posted Jan 30, 2013Have you already tried PTR for 1.07? If so, it should be an automatic update. If your PTR client is old (for the MP/ubers patch months ago), you have to delete it from your hard drive and redownload and reinstall the client.

Posted Jan 30, 2013If it's anything like Bone Armor in WoW, it'll make the monster take less damage with a certain amount of charges with each hit before it goes away.

Posted Jan 30, 2013Why though? They'll get enough essence to craft all their gold away soon enough. And as soon as everyone has gotten caught up they'll be flooded in Demonic Essence and it will be useless filler loot from that point forward, at which point they may as well remove it.

Posted Jan 31, 2013Yeah i also think that way. Too bad i didnt prepare and bought me a radiant star rubt. Oh well, i'll have to wait a bit since prices will probably be really high.
Anyway i really like these patch notes. Awesome stuff.

Posted Jan 31, 2013The plans are auctionable. You can easily buy the small handful of the ones you actually want. They won't be expensive either since people will farm those bosses until they become too cheap to be worth it.
