What if we told you that all schools should have a decent AOE hitter, that every school should get it at the same level and rank, and that we were ok with them being over the power curve to help ease players through PvE?

Some of you may have noticed that gear from Dragonspyre, Khrysalis, and Lemuria has shifted around a bit. To diversify the play experience, we're distributing the gear to multiple bosses. Attached, you'll see where each piece is dropped. The rates are base on combat difficulty.

Hey Death wizards!
If you could have a new damage+utility spell, at what rank (pip cost) would you want it to fall, and why?
(Remember that you're giving up a bit of damage for the utility, so this won't be your new "hitter.")

Wizards, we have heard your latest feedback! Several changes will be coming in future patches to include:
•Adjustments to the Novus gear drop rates and pity system
•Stat adjustments to certain sets of level 50, 100, 150 and 160 gear

Hey folks, Falmea here. We're super excited to jump into the Test Realm with y'all! Nana sure is eager for your arrival! Test Realm is coming soon, but not this week. Keep watch @NanasKaramelle and @Wizard101 for updates in the days ahead!

What new or existing "utility" mechanic would you like to see in upcoming spells for your school? Think uniqueness and "school identity."
Don't worry about numbers or values, just form and function. Example: Life charm that converts next heal into an enemy DMG spell

Since last night's patch, the drop rates for gear released in the Spring Update have now been increased for Dragonspyre and Khrysalis. Below is a reminder where you can get them all!

With all the Lore Spell changes, you may wonder what will happen to the beloved Headless Horseman spell this Halloween season. This year, you can still farm this spell from Loremaster in Dragonspyre, and it will NOT be dropping via Spellements.

Wizards, there is a bug with the Novus Explorer's pack gear that is giving it more stat points than intended. The stats should match and not exceed the stats of the Eternal gear available in Novus. The pack gear will be adjusted in an upcoming patch.

With the new Pin System, all Dual School stats were removed from Hats/Robes/Boots, which includes Outgoing Healing. Since Outgoing Healing is also removed from Life Gear with this change to make room for all other stats, we decided to create Life Mending Pins. [Cam]

Ok. So... Gnomes.
Early feedback to all spell audits was, "Just give us the damage!" As the process unfolded, we've heard some push back to utility.
Dispel is a costly utility (2 pips). If you want it, you have to give up a chunk of damage.
Time to choose, gnomies.

PvP Matchmaking
We've tweaked the Matchmaking Server to (a) prioritize Level and (b) remove Opt In prompts for all players, and send "bad matches" back into the queue.
Creating better matches will almost certainly increase wait times.

Yesterday's TR update included some key changes to the RAID final boss fight.
Our goal is not strictly "difficulty" but to make sure that all players in the Raid are essential to success, and that there is no single clear path to victory every time.
That said: It's harder.

How to get World Spellements (1/3)
At low levels, you can get them from Bosses scattered in worlds Krokotopia through Dragonspyre
To obtain a spellement this way, you must have not completed the NEXT world. For example, you can farm Krokotopia until you complete Marleybone

It is important to remember that players and mobs share the same crit/block system and changes go both ways. Mobs use their own stats - which are much lower than player stats - but if you want more crit chance and crit multiplier, mobs will get it too.
