Vanguard Build 1778 Patch Notes 3/13/2007

GAMEPLAY NOTES
- Aggro NPCs that can see invis will now attack if you move near them.
- Aggro NPCs that cannot see invis will no longer attack if you move very close to them.
- Ranged attacks use dexterity for their damage bonus again, they had been using strength.
- Some bugs with target hit points not updating correctly have been fixed.
- Disabled the text output about the number of charges on a charged item changing
- NPC Wyverns should now be capable of flying as intended
- All Clubs, Axes, Martial Swords, Hammers, Longswords and Maces have all had a damage increase.  The choice between light and medium weapons should now be more difficult to make.  Remember, while light weapons have a critical hit bonus every special attack with a medium or slow weapon does more damage. The rate at which you can use attacks does not change with the speed of your weapon but your auto-attack rate does change.

ADVENTURING NOTES
- All Classes – Some attacks remain direct attacks.  These are intended to be lower in damage, but have alternate uses and should be less expensive overall.  These debuff, buff and are not intended to be used to be a main source of damage.
- Bards - The Bard instrument ‘Ancient Melody’ has been changed from granting a voice modification to granting a string modification. Sorry Bards, but wasn’t it fun while it lasted?

- Monk – Fixed an issue with Quivering Palm causing 3 lines of text when executed.
- Monk – Crescent Kick now costs 10 endurance and does not incur global recovery.
- Monk – Counter attacks are now cost free
- Monk – Many finishing attacks were more costly than intended.  Endurance costs have been lowered.

                Dragon’s Rage
                Sundering Dragon Claw
                Fists of Transcendence
