[5:33 PM]Ali [MnM], :
Druids
Added Group Cure Poison. This cures one stack of poison per group member at rank one, and two stacks of poison at rank two.
We'd mentioned this when the Druid update rolled out in patch notes for 0.25.1.0:
"When the Shaman and Cleric class update rolls out, the shared Minor Heal line will go away, but with the healing spells listed above + regeneration, Druids should have plenty of options for keeping their party healthy."
With the healer updates complete, we have removed this shared line now that each class has their own versions of healing spells.
As a reminder, the Druid healing line up is:
Summer's Warmth line - Your big heal
Touch of Nature line - a mana-efficient heal that does half of its heal immediately, and the other half as a 12-second heal over time
Spark of Nature - Your quick heal when someone needs healing fast, or the other two healing lines are more than you need.
Cleric
Added Group Cure. This cures one stack of poison and disease per group member at rank one, and cures one stack of poison, disease, and magic at rank two.
Increased the duration of Blessing of Devotion line to 60 minutes.
Reduced mana cost and cast times for Blessing of Devotion spell line
Blessing of Devotion spells activate their emergency heal at a slightly higher health threshold - when you take damage and your health is at 10% or less
Clerics gain access to Sense Magic at level 8
Your deity will now apply your occasional blessings more gently, no longer knocking off your invisibility or other fragile buffs accidentally.
Rogue
Trivial skill levels for poisons and toxin extraction have been adjusted to lower the gaps between recipes. Skillup bonuses have been increased for all poisonmaking recipes.
Fighter
Fixed level based scaling on Second Wind
Fixed Rend not resetting Shield Bash. Additionally, Shield Block will be reset when Rend's reset procs.

Cast time of Challenging Shot reduced to 1s
Defensive Stance now increases all threat generated by 10%
Vengeance will no longer be generated until level 13 when the first spender becomes available

Vengeance generation has been increased 20%
Monk
To Hit modifier on Pinning Throw has been increased to be more in-line with other abilities.
Duration of Ascendant Body and all minor Body buffs has been increased to 1 hour.
NPCs will no longer roll their chance to remember you after a successful feign if they do not have line of sight to you.
