*** NPC ***

- Many NPCs in House of Thule and Veil of Alaris zones no longer see through Shroud of Stealth.
- Deathleaper's ability Earsplitting Howl now uses the magic resist type, and the damage has been lowered slightly.


*** AA ***

- Monk - Suppressive Strike has been changed to Distant Strike. The silence has been removed, but the rest of the ability is unchanged.
- Enchanter - Fixed a timer conflict issue with Glyph Spray and Divine Companion Aura.
- Druid/Shaman - Fixed a timer conflict issue with Silent Casting and Paralytic Spores.


*** Mercenaries ***

- Several changes have been made to Healer Mercenaries:
- After level 85, healer mercenaries no longer cast the Promised or Elixir lines of spells. These spells may return in the future when mercenaries learn to cast them more effectively.
- After level 75, healer mercenaries no longer cast Complete Heal.
- When at full health and mana, healer mercenaries will no longer sit.
- Healer mercenaries now respond more quickly when the main tank in their group enters combat.
- The power of the healer mercenaries' spells have been slightly increased.
- The Reactive stance has been modified to favor constantly casting direct heals without regard for mana cost.
- Note: At the moment, mercenaries have trouble healing players that have high-HP regen buffs on them. Until this changes, avoid using spells such as Splendrous Guardian, Spiritual Enrichment, or Promised Renewal if you want your mercenary to heal you.


*** Previously Updated ***

- Corrected a pathing problem in Veeshan's Peak that caused a number of its denizens to wander the lava pool near the entrance.
