Sorry for the delay in starting the patches for december, but our admins have been under some duress, and so its taken a bit longer than normal to push the patches through.

Changes for 12-16-07:

Weapons:
Ranged weapon (bow, crossbow, heavy crossbow, etc.) damage has been reduced, it is now 90% of one-handed weapon damage. This should balance out the benefit of being able to hit from a distance and hit a relatively close moving target.
Barring anything major changing in the future, this should be the final weapon rebalancing patch.

Healing Balance Adjustment:
cross-healing delays have been readjusted, and now has the same delay as healing yourself, plus 1 second.
Distance to heal others has been reduced from 3 to 1.

Bug fixes:
2 minor bugs with healing were fixed.
White potions, red potions, and blue potions should now all work correctly.
3 bugs with basic potion timers working incorrectly were fixed.


Necromancy:
Ressurection is now castable in proper areas.
Web now targets correctly.
Mana drain no longer works on targets with less than 10 mana.
Summoned monsters no longer have mana.
Summoned monsters no longer dissapear at worldsave and have the correct summon timer on them.
Flamewhip rebalanced to take into account target magic resistance relative to caster level.
Barring any major oversights, this should be the last pre-release necromancy patch.

very nice.

ya mana drain needs a WAY higher timer,, its way over powered vrs a mage + it fizzles spells, but besides that I love how this patch sounds

If you noticed these are pre-release necromancy patches before we make the class available to all. You should see the ability to start a necromancer by the end of the month.
