With all the recent changes from the Hot Summer Nights, the Elemental Lore Review, the new QUICKSTRIKE, and other Wizard spell (506, 515, 519, 535) updates, all characters will receive a free FIXSKILLS on Tuesday, January 19th, 2016. This new FIXSKILL will follow the normal policy of not stacking with existing, unused FIXSKILLS and must be used before the next Festival of Oleani (May 20th).

Do you know if the changes to 925/Enchant will be released before the fixskills goes out on Tuesday or is it safe to forget about 925 for the time being and worry about those changes till after May?

A 1 time fixskill is an inadequate testing period for the combined wizard nerfs to be fully assessed.

Unfortunately, the changes to Enchant Item (925) are not yet ready and will not be going out before the FIXSKILL on Tuesday. However, none of the previously listed changes for it have changed, so you can still plan your training accordingly.

As these changes introduce significant impacts to multiple professions, is there any chance that a fast-migration period be in effect for a few weeks? Access to the test instance would also be nice, but any help on this front would be appreciated.

I am assuming fast migration applies to more than just that one skill, yes?

No. You can untrain your quickstrike ranks immediately, but all other maneuvers progress at the same rate.

was I wrong? I quoted the applicable response to your post. You did not specify all CMANs in your original post.

I thought the point of your response was to say that my request had already been granted, as proven by the snippet you posted. Why would I be asking about migration for the old quickstrike maneuver in such a general manner? Accept defeat graciously!

Why wouldn't you? I don't know CMANs, what other CMAN was directly changed?

Ok, now I can't tell if you're being serious.

I never mentioned CMANs in my request. This change affects stamina cost/usages across the board for all professions, not to mention the myriad effects it has on wizard choices for lore and/or other related combat skills. I do not think it is unreasonable to allow players time to adjust to these changes by granting a quick migration of ALL skills, not just CMANs.

You can do a complete reassignment with the forthcoming FIXSKILLS. Instant migration of all combat maneuvers otherwise isn't in the cards.

Then my mistake, I thought you meant CMANs bc that is what I associate with asking for fast migration (per the clip I quoted). Everyone gets a fixskills. Maybe don't use it on day 1 and let people organize data and crunch numbers. Anyway, I had the same reaction when you asked for Haste in the Arcane Circle.

Why? Say it filled the 1725 slot. It wouldn't be able to be infused, but could still be found on the very rare scroll and magical item. How is that unbalanced? These changes are clearly targeted at stopping permahasting. Allowing the old-style haste to be found via rare instances in the treasure system would in no way impact that change.

>You can do a complete reassignment with the forthcoming FIXSKILLS. Instant migration of all combat maneuvers otherwise isn't in the cards.

Am I mistaken that there isn't the ability to toggle ALL skills to be able to be migrated more quickly when raising/lowering skills via GOALS, not just CMANs?

I also misunderstood the thrust of your question. But that won't be happening either.

On a purely personal level, none of the HSN changes have required me to change my build or refocus on any aspect of training. so I'm chugging along on my designated set of tracks quite nicely. Will use this fixskills for some unexpected testing of another method of attack though. Ummm ranged or TWC?

So thanks for the fixskills chaps. Jolly good show. Carry on and tally Ho and all that!

...now about the Teras Festival for 5117? (Yeah I know...wrong thread!)

Most likely you made one of two builds:

A) Good for lower levels, requires fixstat anyway.

B) Stats for cap, where almost everything is perfect except INF and maybe something else irrelevant.

Valiant effort trying to sneak a free fixstat request in, though!

What time should we expect to get the fixskills if you don't mind me asking?
