_____________________

- Increased the stack size of Overseer Tetradrachm to 100,000.


*** Tradeskills ***

- Stone Cold Summer: Inis Zidas can be found in the Field of Bone investigating unusual piles of bones rising to the surface. (On servers that have launched The Buried Sea.)
- Added some quest-achieved Dragons of Norrath spells to Kicha and Sasily Verous in Lavastorm. You must have completed the appropriate content to see the spell. The spells should be available to all personas on the same character.

- The overcharged orbs in the Silence the Cannons raid will now reset their timer if they are forced to find a new target.

- Hand of Holy Wrath VIII and Arms of Holy Wrath VIII now trigger their rank VIII Recourse instead of Rank VII.
- Necromancer - Improved the scaling of the rune and healing values in the Cascading Deathshield line. Renamed the subspells to be more consistent with other uses of Azia, Beza, and Caza.


*** AA ***

- The hard cap for unspent AA points will now be enforced for all personas instead of just the one being logged into.


*** Mercenaries ***

- Reward previews that describe how much mercenary AA experience you will get should be more accurate.
- Rebalanced stats of level 121-125 mercenaries. Spells are unchanged.


*** Progression Servers ***

- Fixed an issue where trophy level requirements were not being reduced on Vaniki.
- Fixed an issue where some raids from Terror of Luclin and on would not offer the 100 point reward when appropriate.
- Resource Hunter - Several zones with NPC levels below 40 are no longer eligible for AA XP bonuses while several zones with NPC levels 40 or higher are now eligible for AA XP bonuses.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Using the '/hidemodels all' command now applies to familiars.
- The /hidemodels command will now apply to NPCs that enter the zone after you.
- Fixed several zone crashes related to items as well as other sources of zone crashes that have occurred recently.
- Opening the Key Rings window will no longer cause special familiars, such as a summoned banker, to be dismissed.
- The /cast command can now be used with the name of the spells you currently have memorized. Partial names are accepted.

- The Dark Reign, Norrath's Keepers, and Hunters of Shard's Landing factions will now be shared across personas.


*** UI ***

- Camping out to server select screen while using a full screen game window should no longer fail and display an alert dialog about not supporting DirectX 11.
- Added the ability to save chat window content when swapping personas. Chat tabs are saved by tab name and when swapping persona, new chat windows will be created if there is no matching chat tab.
- Added a checkbox to the Options window Chat tab to enable or disable saving chat window content when swapping persona.
- The Extended Target window now saves and loads settings consistently.
- Changed -

I'll have to wait and see how this is implemented. Right now, the Duellist has the highest AC and the Defender is lower. I'm hoping that they just switch the name so my Duellist version will simply be called the Defender version (rather than switch the stats and thus nerf my charm). I think it will be OK from the wording but will see when it comes out.

Glad to see the Xtar bug has a fix this time.

I'm not into personas myself so it doesn't matter to me, but a lot of people seem to be happy with this.

There is already a thread on forums asking to push persona swaps to all expansions.

Super excited to see more "pro-persona" implementation, especially across the progression servers. Glad they are actually improving their systems for this big shift in playstyle.
 
Any one else got the feeling... The berserkers class dies like flies now after the patch? Both my zerkers dies by the enemy parry or something.

My tank holds the agg, yet the zerkers dies and the healer can't heal them fast enough.

This did not happen pre-patch.
