Thane Love?

EchaniEchani Member Posts: 72
in Dark Age of Camelot
So I read that Thanes recently got some love but I just started back a week ago and haven't had the time to go back and read all the recent patch notes, I have a few questions if anyone could answer them I'd be grateful.

What kind of love did Thanes get?
What direction have most Thanes gone?
Is my old S&S Thane spec still good?
45 SC
42 Shield
39 Sword
22 Parry

I know I know, "Thane with a SWORD?" I know I make Thor QQ

    Level 40 Thane gets a buff that treats him like multiple attackers thus reducing the af of a target.

    The rest here I found on my middy aliance site:

    43 Banish Energy 3.0 second cast time/10 second duration, 400 radius 12% Energy debuff.

    - A new spell has been added: Energy Debuff Weapon Proc - Self only Buff - Target resistance is lowered. Damage done is of the spell's given damage type. The spells are as follows at the levels specified:

    (Hammer styles may not convert correctly for current Hammer specialized Thanes. This will be fixed in the near future on Pendragon before 1.82 goes live.)

    - Chain lightning now casts instantly at the enemy target and hits up to 5 targets (player or pet). If there is only one target available, the spell will hit once. If there are multiple targets, the spell has a chance to jump from target to target and back to the prior target. With each jump, the damage of the spell is reduced by 25%.

    Warriors also got some good lovin but personally I kinda think they scroowed the shadowblade a little more and took the one thing that made him special (RR5 assassination) and gave it to everyone at level 34 or 39 stealth.

    Sweet, thanks for all the great info, since it's been a while since I played most of my favorite sites have gone into disrepair.  That really cleans everything up for me :-)

    Chain Lightning is the Thane Realm Rank 5 ability. It is basically a spell that hits one person and has a 75% chance to jump to another person or pet up to 5 times instantly.

    Although this doesn't pertain to thanes it does however deal with other mid classes.  I just thought it'd be nice to see some more mid love.  Power to the mids!

    Valkerie (Mrs. Thane):

    - The Valkyrie two-handed Champion Sword now sits higher on the character's back.

    Valkyrie

    - The following changes have been made to Valkyrie Spear and Sword style lines:

    Stab will now utilize a 3% ABS debuff spell.
    Raze will now utilize a 50 Spirit DD spell.
    Razor Edge will now utilize a 7 second stun spell. (This applies to Hunters as well.)
    Odin's Wrath will now utilize a bleed spell.
    Odin's Madness will now utilize a 150 FAE DD spell.
    Ice Storm will now utilize a 20 spirit DD spell.

    - Movement restrictions on Valkryie CAE spells have been removed.

    - Valkyries may now use large shields.

    - Valkyries may now choose Charge as a Realm Ability.

    - The Valkyrie's hit points have been increased slightly.

    - Lower level versions of the Acuity and Dex/Quick shears have been put into Odin's Will in the following manner:

    Frontal Buff Shear (Dex/Qui)

    17 Vindictive Graze: Enemy 0s/0/300s 700 range
    27 Vindictive Laceration: Enemy 0s/0/60s 700 range

    Frontal Buff Shear (Acu)

    19 Valkyrie's Authority: Enemy 0s/0/300s 700 range
    29 Valkyrie's Supremecy: Enemy 0s/0/60s 700 range

    - Valkyrie Shield styles have been adjusted in the following manner: Maneuver now leads to Sideswipe, Pin now leads to Brace.

    - A magical Ablative chant has been added to Odin's Will in the following manner:

    40 Odin's Virtue:0 second cast/6 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 1500 unit range, 40 Magical Ablative, Group buff.
    50 Odin's Temperance:0 second cast/6 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 1500 unit range, 70 Magical Ablative, Group buff.

    And don't forget the valk can rez at 49 I believe so expect to be seeing more of these lovely ladies around.

    Healer:

    - The cast time of Celerity spells has been decreased to 2.0 seconds.

    - The duration of the attack speed debuffs (Hinder Spirit - Impede Spirit) has been increased to 40 seconds.

    - The power cost of all healing spells in Rejuvenation, Regrowth and Mending has been adjusted to allow for a gradual increase in cost to heal ratio as players gain access to higher levels of these spells. In many cases, this means the cost of healing spells has decreased.

    - Recast times on the Instant Single target heal spells have been decreased to 10 minutes.

    - Recast times on the Instant Group target heal spells have been decreased to 15 minutes.

    - The cast times on Spec-line Major Healing spells from Rejuvenation, Regrowth and Mending have been decreased by .1 seconds per level of spell down to 2.5 seconds.

    Example:

    5 Major Restoration: 3.2s
    8 Major Recuperation: 3.1s
    11 Major Renewal: 3.0s
    14 Major Revival: 2.9s
    18 Major Resuscitation: 2.8s
    25 Major Reviction: 2.7s
    33 Major Refection: 2.6s
    43 Major Refocillation: 2.5s

    And one of my fav's....the hunter:

    - Wolf pets will now swim underwater.

    Let's see those pesky stealther's try to hide underwater and restealth now

    ____________________________________________________________________________

    Also noting (for those who know me or actually give a damn) by the end of next week if all goes well I should have my comp back and be back in to try all this wonderful sweetness too.

    My plan is to spec Bragnor that way but hammer instead of sword.  Hammer line got a LOT of love for Thanes last patch ;)

    Yeah, I saw that hammer got love and almost went that way, but my Thane is a Troll and with low parry and high shield my experience is that he blocks alot more than he parrys, as such I try to get the Frost Cut/Niord's Fury combo rather than the Revenge/Thor's answer combo.  I like the DoT of the bleed over the combat speed debuff.  But I can see the good in speccing hammer especially after the love it got recently.

    All that, plus I still have all my armor SC'd for sword, it'd be a pity to let it go to waste :-)
