*** Spells ***
- The minimum fizzle rates for all classes have been reduced, as well as the amount of mana used by a fizzle.
- Beastlord - Kron's Maelstrom should no longer interfere with Funeral Dirge.
- Cleric and Druid - Increased the strength of Reject Corruption.

- Magician - Theft of Essence will now work correctly with the Annihilate the Divergent spell line.
- Necromancer - Blood Magic should now behave in a more predictable manner giving full benefit to each rank. Please note, each step for Blood Magic is now shorter than the original.

*** Achievements ***
- Epic titles should no longer go away if you place your epic items in your house as long as you have the epic achievement.

*** Misc ***

- Non-real estate polls now correctly show their results when the poll closes.
- PC pets that are out at the time of a zone repop will now be respawned when the repop is complete.
- Race changes on pre-PoP progression servers will no longer bind you in PoK, rather in the commonlands tunnel.

- Tasks steps may now specify multiple zones for completion. No quests use this yet, but watch for any problems with completing task steps.

- Increased the size of the obsidian building blocks to match other building block sets.

*** Files Changed ***

- EQUI_CharacterCreate.xml
- EQUI_Animations.xml
These I'm really looking forward to.

I think the fizzle thing is probably the best thing up there. Theft of Essence is nice but situational at best, and should have been taken care of in beta when we first brought it up.

From a mage point of view all I thought when I looked at it was "hmph" - nothing really great there (fizzle maybe nice, but I don't really fizzle a whole lot to start with). The one most people in my guild are interested in is the rogue changes which got announced in a later post...
