Is it intended that so many AA's share recast timers with each other? There are so many AA's available, but not many of them see any real use since you'll usually pick the "better" one. Some of the short duration recast AA's like Innate Camo (normally like 5 sec recast) get locked out for an hour if you use an ability like Destructive Force.

Over the course of a normal boss fight, I'll pop Spirit Frenzy, Intensity of the Resolute, Desperation, and Divine Avatar. That usually leaves me locked out of pretty much every other AA like heals or pets, etc.

Many of the melee oriented offensive AA's also don't stack with the power source clicky that increases damage done. I believe Divine Avatar, Intensity of the Resolute, and possibly some others don't get any benefit from the damage increase effects. You do however still get the benefits of the other effects on the AA's.

Many of the AA's also turn you into some sort of illusion, which prevents them from stacking with each other, and also from stacking with the elemental form AA's. That part I suppose could be helped by not using the elemental form until after using the others, but the timer for the elemental form also won't be available after using other AA's. I usually have to prebuff it and then wait the 15 minutes or so for other AA's to be available again.

A couple other things I was curious about:

Will we see mercenaries in zones other than OG Village now that bots are gone?

Are Luclin+ npc's available for the arena event? I see them in your screenshots here, but I couldn't seem to find the vendor that sells their tokens.

Overall I'll say I've had a pretty positive experience on the server. I've just gained access to Blackburrow, so I'll be messing around in there when I have more time.

The spell stacking is a complex issue. Once I get a website up and running, I will have a section for people to report stacking conflicts. It will be a large job to get everything working together seamlessly. That said, illusion AAs will not stack ever. Its a tradeoff you have to pay.

Mercs will spread throughout zones when I am happy with their balance in OGVillage. Currently the healer mercs I think are getting close to ideal balance but I am not happy with the tank mercs yet, so until I get them both working well, I don't want to have them in all zones.

For whatever reason the merchants that sold the arena essences were gone from cshome(except the kunark and antonica ones), so I just added them back.
