ну и на закуску:
As the patch notes for gu51 will soon show, amends has been changed into an incredibly powerful taunt. I realize many of you will be unhappy about it but it is something that we feel needs to change to put more emphasis on the paladin gaining hate and not a third party. When you are siphoning 40% or more of a players hate then the hate gain is based more on the dps class than on the paladin. This means with gu51 that the paladin will need to be more in control of their own hate and should have the tools to do that.
Again, I realize that paladins will not be happy with this change. I would encourage that instead of being reactionary you go play one on test copy and give objective feedback. You are not alone in these changes so your feedback on the change is welcome but it needs to be objective and focused on actual gameplay instead of your immediate reaction to seeing the changes. Also I left Sigil alone. Its relatively short term so its nice for a burst up the hate list initially but not for sustained aggro. (с) Аералик
