New laws in place for 2013
By REPORTER STAFF
Mercer Island Reporter Staff
January 7, 2013 · Updated 11:43 AM
What new laws are set to begin or change in 2013? A few notable new laws take effect this month. They include new laws passed by voters or those that have come from the state Legislature.
Initiative 502, the measure approved by voters to allow the state to "decriminalize marijuana use, allow for sale and distribution, and tax the proceeds," will be implemented over the next 11 months. The initiative says that the state will "license and regulate marijuana production, distribution, and possession for persons over 21; remove state law criminal and civil penalties for activities that it authorizes; tax marijuana sales; and earmark marijuana-related revenues."
The new law will eliminate state-law prohibitions against producing, processing and selling marijuana, and make it subject to licensing and regulation by the Liquor Control Board. It will also allow limited possession of marijuana by persons aged 21 and over, and will impose 25 percent excise taxes on its sale.
Even though it has already been approved, Initiative 502 will be implemented over a period of a year or more. Legal possession and DUI limits went into effect on Dec. 6, 2012. Other rules must be finalized by Dec. 1, 2013. Until rules are established and licenses issued, retail sales to the general public are not allowed. Other important parts of the law stipulate that businesses must be located 1,000 feet or further from public schools, and public use of marijuana becomes a civil infraction.
Other laws implemented or changed include:
Carbon monoxide alarms are now required in existing apartments, condominiums, hotels, motels and single-family homes, with the exception of homes that have been legally occupied before July 26, 2009. Those single-family homes are not required to have the alarms until they are sold.
The state minimum wage has increased to $9.19 an hour, up from $9.04 an hour. For a full-time worker, the 15-cent-per-hour increase represents an additional $312 in wages before taxes.
The basic fee for hauling a load of solid waste to a King County transfer station or drop box will increase $12 to $129.40 per ton. The minimum fee will increase from $20 to $22.
The federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation program ended on Dec. 29. The extension of this program is based on the actions of Congress in the last days of 2012. If approved and implemented, the program extends benefits to unemployed individuals who have exhausted all of their other unemployment benefits.
Barbless hooks will be required to fish for salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout in the mainstream Columbia River.
The Washington state 2013 Regular Legislative Session is scheduled to begin on Jan. 14 and end on April 28, 2013.

News > Politics
Friday, September 28, 2012 7:38 PM EDT
By DAVID A. LIEB and MARIA SUDEKUM
Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Some of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's prominent supporters are reversing course and backing Missouri GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin's embattled campaign against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
Former Missouri Sens. Kit Bond and Jim Talent said Friday they are now behind the candidate they once shunned for his remarks on "legitimate rape."
"As a Missourian, I believe it is vital to have a senator and a Senate who will cooperate in creating jobs, repealing Obamacare , and controlling federal spending and the federal deficit," said Talent, who is Romney's adviser on Russia and defense policy.
"Todd can win," added Bond, who has endorsed Romney.
Earlier this week, Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican who is Romney's liaison to Congress, endorsed Akin.
The trio would appear to be at odds with Romney, who suggested that Akin "accept their counsel" and leave the race back when they joined two other Missouri GOP elders — former Sens. John Danforth and John Ashcroft — in a formal statement forcefully urging Akin to exit the campaign. The Romney campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Akin has apologized for the rape comment for weeks but refused to leave the race. He lost the financial backing of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the deep-pocketed Crossroads group affiliated with GOP strategist Karl Rove, and there are no signs either group has plans to re-enter the race.
Some members of the Missouri Republican political establishment are switching course, though not everyone. Danforth still has not backed Akin, and multiple attempts by The Associated Press on Friday to reach Ashcroft were unsuccessful.
In his own statement, Bond pledged to help oust Democrats from the Senate majority and said Akin's rape comments "were unacceptable but he's apologized, I believe his regret is sincere, and it is time to focus on the national stakes in this election."
The endorsements came as Akin was answering questions about his characterization Thursday of McCaskill as not being very "ladylike" in a Sept. 21 debate.
Contrasting the approach with her 2006 debates against then-Sen. Talent, Akin said McCaskill "had a confidence and was very much more sort of ladylike and all."
McCaskill said Akin's remarks left her "a little speechless."
"I'm hoping that people will weigh in and defend me that I was polite and calm. This wildcat, you know, furious and unladylike is kind of a headscratcher," she said.
But Akin did not back off his assertion.
"We've got a couple words in the English language, one is a gentleman and a lady," Akin said Friday. "I think those are pretty self-explanatory terms, and I was using them just as the English language uses those terms."
While some appeared offended at those words, "it seems to me the offensive thing is the voting record that's destructive to the people of our state," Akin said.
In the Missouri House, where Akin began his political career, the rules of debate require lawmakers to refer to colleagues as "lady, gentleman or representative."
Also Friday, Akin said he had been arrested during an anti-abortion protest more than two decades ago, but he didn't provide details of where or when the event occurred.
In a video circulating widely on the Internet, Akin is seen discussing his involvement in an anti-abortion demonstration and says, "You know, don't tell anybody I'm a jail bird." He also says in the video that "a bunch of us sat in front of these doors and the police gave us a ride to the free hotel for a while, and you know how it goes."
Asked at a news conference Friday in Kansas City to confirm the arrest, Akin said: "Yeah, well, certainly. Probably about 25 years ago or so I was involved in some peaceful protests. As I've made very clear I don't apologize for being pro-life. I stand up for the things I believe in."
Akin's comments have loomed large in Missouri's Senate race since shortly after he won the Aug. 7 Republican primary. They also have generated ripples through national politics, including the presidential race and Republicans' efforts to gain the four seats necessary to win control of the Senate from Democrats.
Democrats have attempted to link Akin's "ladylike" comment to his remark about "legitimate rape" to suggest he is insensitive to women and to help drive their own fundraising efforts.
The Democratic National Committee and Emily's List, which backs Democratic women who support abortion rights, both cited the remarks in fundraising emails Thursday. On Friday, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand highlighted Akin's remarks as the centerpiece of an online fundraising drive to raise $75,000 for McCaskill in two days.
Akin also received a recent fundraising boost, picking up the endorsement Thursday of the Senate Conservatives Fund, whose members pledged $290,000 for his campaign.
Sudekum reported from Kansas City, Mo.

Person 2: Sounds good to me. The mere fact that it's not 'lite' beer assures me that you are worthy to drink with. People who drink 'lite' beer should be shot and pissed on. Person 1: Fuckin' rights, eh. Bottom line is there's 24 of 'em. |

I'm having some trouble understanding the Rashi in Bereishis 37:12. Rashi says (as I understand it) that we cut out the word es because they only went to to feed their own sheep. If so, then why does the Pussuk mention צֹאן אֲבִיהֶם ?

Sifsei Chachomim explains that they went to pasture themselves, and their fathers sheep happened to be there. |
I have no source for this: it's my own thought. I've heard that letters with dots are interpreted as if absent. (Citation needed, as they say over at Wikipedia. On the other hand, that seems to be the premise of the question, too.) If es were absent from this verse, it could be read "The brothers went to pasture. The sheep/goats of their father were in Sh'chem." which could imply they were pasturing themselves. But of course that's a d'rasha: the plain meaning is that they were in fact pasturing their father's sheep/goats, which is why the verse mentions the latter. |

Edler & Tarasenko for Skinner & Wisniewski
Limited keeper (7 players*). Roto: G/A/Pts/PPG/PPA/+-
4C/6W/4D/2G start, 8 bench. I was offered Skinner & Wisniewski for my Edler & Tarasenko. I think I would get the best player in the deal (Skinner) but think that Edler & Tarasenko is too much for Skinner, with Wisniewski really just a throw in. I asked for Carlson or Goligoski instead of Wisniewski but he won't do. *Our pool allows for extra keepers (over the 7) provided they are under 22 and have never been on our scoring/starter roster. Both Tarasenko & Skinner fall in this category (and can be carried over for 2 more years). Since I feel I don't have the roster to win it this year, I wouldn't start Skinner this year (nor Tarasenko if I hold on to him). Anyone worried about Skinner's injuries / concussion? or reduced scoring responsibility now that the Canes have JStaal & Semin? How about Edler's back? Might I be getting rid of damaged goods? I have Yandle as my #1 for now, and Justin Schultz on my reserves, so my D is OK for next year I think. I guess really it comes down to how much better people think Skinner will be (in 2 + years) than Tarasenko. |
I would keep Edler & Tarasenko personnally. Wiz is a multi-cat stud but your league doesn't count PIM,Hits or blocks so his value is really diminish.

The images of seals being harassed on a California beach are perplexing and disturbing.
In the middle of the night, two women sit on harbor seals, kick them or pull their flippers, all the while snapping flash pictures. The animals eventually flee into the water.
A newly installed video camera captures that attack and others on the seals, who have been using the beach at Children's Pool in La Jolla for decades.
Sara Wan of the Western Alliance for Nature said her organization installed the camera after years of people who are opposed to the seals' presence on the beach being cruel to the animals, trying to scare them off the sand.
"One of the things we found with the camera is it shows what we knew was going on before," she says. "Now people are seeing what is going on and saying, 'You're right, that's wrong.'"
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner placed a sunset to sunrise curfew on the beach, saying people can disagree about how a beach should be used, but they cannot abuse animals, CNN affilate KGTV reported. The restrictions end May 15 after pupping season is over.
The beach was a popular spot for parents to take their children for a safe place to swim, but harbor seals took over the beach in the early 1990s, KGTV said. Beach-access advocates want the area returned to its original use, the station reported.
Because most cases of animal abuse or neglect are never reported, it is difficult to say whether the number of incidents are increasing.
But with enhanced technology and social media, some of the most egregious cases have recently caught the attention of the media.
There were cases where people apparently were ignorant of the law, such as the woman in Florida who rode a manatee, and other more serious ones where people showed wanton disregard for wildlife, as in the case of two sea birds found struggling to breathe after someone forced beer cans over their heads.

btw on the note of the color contrast i personally never felt like there was strain on my eyes lol, switching just made the txt and manga images stand out on their own more.
Thanks. Seems like it was worth the work colouring those pages! XD I was kinda skeptical at first because a friend of mines mentioned that I liked abusing colours that blind the eyes.

This is probably one of my favorite MMVs I've ever watched. Not that I've watched a lot, but still. Every manga piece you put in there was perfect for the part it was in, and I just loved everything about it, really.
-adds as my first favorite video on the org-
Aww thanks for the really nice comment! ^^ I'm glad the "cuteness" managed to seep through because sometimes I wonder if it's just my girl-ish nature that makes me see things that are not cute as being cute... XD

TritioAFB wrote:I just wonder who betatested this
Nice to see it here. The final didn't change too much from last beta, I just noticed a few changes, overall this is an enjoyable MMV considering I don't watch them too often
I asked quite a few for this one because I don't really know many MMV editors. I had to go watch a lot of other MMVs for some inspiration. >__> And thank you for all the beta-testing.

That was awesome! And, yes, I think font could have been matched better, but this one was really ok. And maybe the coloured pages were a bit too intensive. But this is nothing, really.
I love this MMV
It would have probably been less intensive had I went for the full colouring style (colouring the white parts) instead of the line style. XD But thanks anyway!

the rugs are amazing ! especially the 4th one from the top
ReplyDelete I am totally in love with this style. I can't get the rug on the first picture out of my mind! I'm soon moving into my own flat and I really would like something similar. Do you have any idea of interior design websites selling this kind of style?
Love your blog too! xHi there, I am absolutley in love with the scissor print in the last picture. do you have any idea who did this print or where it can be purchased?
Love your blog!These rugs ARE amazing! I hate how expensive they can be, but I love the effect that a rug can have on a whole room's feel or look. I love the entire room look from the second picture down; I don't think I would have ever picked that rug but it gives the space such a great vibe! Now I just want to go rug shopping... Maybe I'll just waste a few hours hours browsing them online instead. Haha!

Cat Cora apparently won't face time behind bars for her June 17 DUI arrest.
The Around the World in 80 Plates co-host and Food Network star – who rear-ended a vehicle in Santa Barbara, Calif., after leaving a tavern – pled no contest to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher, according to TMZ – and had her remaining DUI count dropped.
She was, however, sentenced to three years probation and three months of DUI school, and paid $2,386 in fines. Additionally, she received a 120-day suspended jail sentence, which she won't serve if she fulfills her other requirements.
"I deeply regret my decision to drive that evening after my designated driver became unavailable," Cora said in a statement shortly after her arrest. "I learned a very important lesson from this experience and take full accountability for my actions. This will never happen again."

4.9.10 | Eichler, Griffith, Easton, Summers Elected to Executive Committee
New Ulm, Minn. — Michele Eichler, CEO of Muzzy Products Corp., was elected Chair of the 2010 ATA Executive Committee in late March by the association's 16-member Board of Directors. Eichler is the Board's longest-serving director and the first woman elected as its Chair. She served as an ATA vice-chair in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2009-2010. In addition, Greg Easton, president of Jas. D. Easton, won a vice-chair seat on the Executive Committee. And in an unprecedented vote, two candidates tied for the remaining vice-chair seat: Larry Griffith, president of the Bohning Co.; and Ben Summers, director of operations for T.R.U. Ball Release Products. A review of ATA bylaws found the Committee can have "two or more" vice-chairs, so ATA CEO/President Jay McAninch proposed seating three vice-chairs to capitalize on Griffith and Summers' willingness to serve. The Board approved the recommendation on a follow-up ballot late last week. "Even without adding the third vice-chair for 2010, this is possibly the most experienced Executive Committee the ATA has had during my 10 years with ATA," McAninch said. "The tie for the second vice-chair seat is highly unusual, but it's a unique opportunity for ATA to benefit from two highly qualified statesmen like Ben and Larry." Griffith served as Chair the past year, while Eichler and Easton served as vice-chairs. Griffith said he enjoyed his time as Chair, but thinks it's important to rotate the post each year to promote fresh ideas. Eichler felt privileged to be elected Chair. "I'm very flattered," she said. "It's a humbling, amazing feeling to be entrusted with this responsibility by the rest of the Board. This is a great group of people with a diverse range of experience. Our manufacturers represent companies large and small from across the industry, and our members from the Dealers' Council provide great perspectives from retailers. They're all well-grounded people who can look at the big picture, put individual interests aside, and do what's right for the entire industry." During the year ahead, Eichler wants the ATA and the Board to work on a new long-range plan for the industry. "When Jay came on board in 2000, he worked on a plan that took us far," she said. "We have many great programs up and running, but we can't lock onto the present. We have to anticipate our next big challenges, and decide how we'll keep growing the next five to 10 years. That means ensuring ATA's funding sources, and forging new partnerships so we can capitalize on alliances with wildlife agencies. We also must keep pushing NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program), Explore Bowhunting and the Community Archery Strategy." As a vice-chair, Griffith plans to continue pushing to improve communications between ATA staff, the Board and ATA members. "The ATA has a lot going on around the country, and it's deeply invested financially in a lot of great programs to grow archery," Griffith said. "The more the ATA invests in schools, state agencies and community-based programs, the more accountable we must be to our membership." Easton said he's ready for another year of ATA work. "There's some great opportunities ahead for the ATA and archery," he said. "A lot of good things are going on, and the ATA is right in the middle of them. Everyone's pulling in one direction, whether it's NASP, the Community Archery Strategy or the Easton Sports Development Foundation. When I look at the other Board members, I see no inclination by anyone to act for their own benefit. We're seeing great cooperation everywhere, even in programs that operate independently of each other." For Summers, this is his first election to the Executive Committee. "This is a great honor," he said. "I want to help wherever I can. One thing I'd like to do is put some of the training from my MBA (masters of business administration) program to work. I did a lot of work on managing and budgeting for nonprofit organizations." Summers said he also wants to ensure the ATA Trade Show remains successful. "The Trade Show is just about as great as it can be, but we're always looking for ways to make it better and stronger," he said. Eichler said she never tires of her work on the ATA Board because every meeting is a learning experience. "It's easy to think you've considered everything, but then you hear another Board member's perspective and you realize you've never thought of it that way," she said. "So, while I think I'm contributing to the Board's work, I know I'm also benefiting from every meeting I attend. That's a dynamic that just keeps growing every year." |
Did You Know?
The ATA estimates that 20 percent of all independent archery-only retailers account for 80 percent of all retail sales.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Well this also assumes that the content with be the same difficulty as it is now. I'm fairly confident one of the major objectives of the stat changes was to widen the survivability gap between tanks and non-tanks... which points to harder content that requires the more survivable tanks.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
hey guys, i only have 1 single question
i;ve readed this post, and liked most of the changes, but i'm not sure if i miss-understood it or not but
is this real official info that is planed to be released (and may stil be changed/tweaked as all other beta plans) or is this some sort of petition of community in a single post?
i realy got a bit confused, so would like to know.
thanks.don't be fooled with my Join date, been here for quite while, just got kicked out Europe to here :P
Aug 04 2011 12:33 AM #283
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
These are just "Suggested Changes" like the devs set around and a table and tossed ideas back and forth of of each other after some deliberation and this is what they come up with. This is what you would call a "Rough Copy". Meaning when these was posted they was meant to be a look into the insight of what the devs might be planning for this class. Same with all the other "Suggested Changes" When ROI comes out we may very well see all these changes and more. Or could quite possibly see none of these changes. Devs just toss these out there to see what kind of feedback they get from them and to give players something to possibly look forward to.
Aug 04 2011 12:51 AM #284
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
This is a compilation of changes proposed by Orion, the developer in charge of the class update for Isengard. All of the elements in here are subject to change if necessary, but these were the planned updates as of the last communication with Orion, and they appear to have been implemented in the beta, for the most part.
Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
Aug 04 2011 03:08 AM #285
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Well, everything is changing really, i don't think it will be a great deal more difficult in comparison when considering the changes. But we will find out.
That post was more to do with the now, right now, wardens could use some additional threat components to be more on par with fights like the balrog.
Those who can, do; those who can't, complain
Aug 04 2011 10:30 AM #286
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
thanks for the info, since in a general way i kinda like what they planing do to Warden (but truely hope they give a bit even more attention to Fist line, since from what i've read it stil wont be enough)
don't be fooled with my Join date, been here for quite while, just got kicked out Europe to here :P
Aug 04 2011 11:33 AM #287
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
That just sounds like comparing apples to oranges. We're in a thread about changes, discussing the upcoming changes, changes that are strictly proposed for the sake of dealing with the changing content and mechanics like finesse and yet you want to compare to the here and now... apples and oranges.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
I don't really see why i cant compare.
Proposed changes aren't happening right now to my warden on live servers.
I am telling of how right now I think my warden needs some changes on live servers to be more on par. Those changes are likely coming with RoI with the new proposed gambits on page 1.
Which makes me pleased
^ Maybe i forgot to mention ;P
Those who can, do; those who can't, complain

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
I haven't read through all 20 pages, but what is planned to do with masteries seems a deal breaker to me. I played this character, well, game actually, only because of degree od complication and possibilities Warden was offering with the Mastery system. If they going to dumb this down, I'm gonna stop playing.
Aug 18 2011 11:39 AM #292
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Hmm, you can still get your masteries by traiting Way of the Warden. You'll still have SpSH, SpFi, ShSp, ShFi, FiSp, and Fi,Shield but now it only takes one legendary trait instead of 3 class traits. The original mastery skills give you a double builder, ie Master of the Spear gives you a SpSp mastery. Which is going to be useful with battle mastery. If anything wardens are getting a little more complexity and not "dumb"ing down.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Thanks chaps for clearing it up. Jumped into conclusions... I just like playing with masteries too much I guess
Aug 18 2011 01:36 PM #295
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Yep, and existing mastery traits will be double builders (Goad + Defensive Strike + Deft Strike in one mastery) Personally, i will enjoy the added masteries, and tweaking my rotation based on 12 keys, and not 9 (lol, not really) But, i do however like the idea of Goad being my openner traited for 6 targets.
They're actually increasing the complexity of the class by adding 3 more masteries to the ones we already have, they're just being jumbled around on our traits. (our 6 current ones will move to the Way of the Warden Legendary trait.)
Masteried Goad openner ftw! Cant wait
Where has your Wadening taken you?
Aug 19 2011 11:41 AM #296
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Yeah, my personal opinion is that the way Battle Memory in general is overly complicated and clunky, the double gambit builders most of all. I understand that Orion is trying to squeeze more life out of the low level gambits, but this doesn't seem like the best way to do it.
Aug 19 2011 12:14 PM #297
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Deft strike being omitted, the other two quite possibly could be useful, with only roughly half a second to fire it off. Goad, I project to be the most useful of the three, but defensive strike could be useful aswell, depending on how easy/hard it is to cap block to 25%. And if currently what they're saying is correct, if you're traited capstone, all 3 of them will give "potency."
Looking forward not to be locked into a 5/1/1 5/2 May after all be possible!
Goad openner ftw.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
With the masteries being moved, what will you guys end up traiting? I'll still be running shield capstone all of the time, so that gives me two class traits to work with. One will be efficient thrust, I haven't yet decided what the other will be.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
My early thoughts were going 5 shield, fist mastery for instant goad and the +3 goad target for group traits.
Full spear + never say die and perseverance might be a good way to go for solo or moors. Depends on how squishy I am in that build or else it might be full shield all the time with some spear thrown in.RIP LOTRO

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Tough choice, either improved power efficiency or 10% more threat...

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
Honestly, I didn't liked most of the suggested changes, but I think its great at the class is being revamped. I think the devs should thinks of it thoroughly and, of course, test it exentensively so it doesn't fall just to theories. As always, I never only criticize - I throw suggestions.
As on every warden post I make, lets say quick-thrust = 1, shield-bash= 2, warden's-taunt = 3 (the three basic gambit builder skills).
Potency: Striking for 1-1, 2-2 or 3-3 to get potency buff doesn't seems practical to me if battle memory skill will RESET after I use the skill stored in it. In practice: I'll use a gambit I practically never use and I still have to do the original gambit to store it in battle-memory skill, then I'll pay 5% morale to use (instead of power) and then battle-memory will reset and I'll have to start all over (with deft strike or the other skills, etc)? Its not practical, its not saving me any time and any power (since I'm doing a simple gambit at start JUST to do this). Most of all, it makes the class more complicated over little (or none) benefit.
A suggestion for potency: Remove potency, but hold on the battle-memory idea - it is good. Battle Memory alone can be the solution and you don't need to include this potency mechanics that, as said earlier, doesn't compensate for itself. Please read Battle Memory as follows.
A suggestion Battle-Memory: When this skill is activated, the next gambit the warden uses (or the next he uses in 5-10 seconds) will be stored in battle-memory. Battle memory will become the gambit stored and will have its cost changed to morale. After using the stored gambit, this skill becomes battle-memory again. If reducing our power stress is what you're aiming, make this skill cost no power, since its first use does nothing but to store the gambit there. Then you can even make the stored skill cost its normal power instead of changing it to morale.
But in any case, please don't make it a fixed 5% our total morale - you're making its cost much for some skills and sometimes we might just want to store a simple defensive strike or wall of steel of steel on it for future use (renewing defenses, for instance), so please don't make it have a fixed (and high!) cost, the way you mentioned about it seems like it would only be worth using for conviction (if much).
Master of the Spear/Shield/Fist: Please don't make them build a "double builder". Masteries are meant for us to memorize different gambits and to them save time on the build ones (which sometimes need to e fired right away, depending on the situation). Making it a double-builder (1-1, 2-2 and 3-3) will only make it work for these three basic gambits. In other words, you would only press it to 'save' pressing 1, 2 or 3 a second time and save (just a little) power. Doesn't seems worth slotting, even if the current potency idea comes to live (I hope it doesn't).
Way of The Warden: This legendary is already good as it is, it doesn't need to have 3 masteries traits (6 mastery skills!) on it - it will overpower it so much that you would never trait anything else in its place. I think turbine want us to think before choosing our favorites legendaries and sometimes even alter them according to role or the instance/raid/quest we're going to face ahead. If I haven't said this enough - this suggested change is too much.
Suggestion for Way of The Warden: Instead of changing it, make the legacies, traits and set bonuses that gives a bonus to any of the three instances also apply to way of the warden. This would make Helegrod full set to give a bonus to defense if way of the warden is used (the same as he would have in conservation instance), it would make extra icpr and/or extra icmr from legacy to apply on the stance (if more than one instance is giving extra icpr, just use the highest of course). If you dont like my idea, at least make the mastery skills only available when the instance is activated (would still be 'OP' imo tho...).
Recklessness: I'm surprised this stance is not being mentioned, even though determination is receiving icpr and critical defense now. All wardens DPS in conservation, it doesn't matter if they're soloing, grouping, doing instances or raids. Even if you keep a moderate use of skills (if you don't go "all-out"), the power leaks too fast and we already have 3 stats to prioritize - specially now that the caps are removed. A warden without icpr is the same as a champion dpsing without a stance - except that we don't recover power from an enemy defeat response.
Deflection - Sounds promising, but its yet a new "gambit line" to memorize. We still have gambit lines not filled. Why not use 1-2-1-2-1. Sound easier to memorize and it completes the "1-2-1" gambit line (onslaught, wall of steel). Make it hit 3 times, a little harder than wall of steel, make it interrupt (maybe, not much necessary) but instead of giving parry it does a "threat bump", just as intended, or make him receive a -10% outgoing threat for 20 or 30 seconds (this way it would apply to the next mob if the current ones is killed quickly by your group). It's a long gambit, like unerring strike, conviction, etc.. but reducing threat would be something for the warden who is dpsing while thinking on the long run to not steal the tank's aggro.
Shield Tactics - On the same line of thought as before, this could instead be the finishing gambit for the Shield Mastery Gambit (2-1-3-1). Wardens tanking already keep this gambit up frequently because it gives block and evade for 1 minute, but by adding a fifth stroke to the gambit it could give the same thing and just add a 30s stun immunity. It would cost more power and take a little more time to build it instead of shield mastery, but this would be used by wardens who know the mob or boss he/she is facing stuns. If giving stun immunity like a LM is too much... and instead of adding (it only works once every 60 seconds), which adds complexity, why not make it say "Reduces stun durations by 50%"? Would work nicely. I don't see a necessity for tactical defense on it, (I would use for the stun buff mostly) but it wouldn't hurt to gain some I guess.
Aggression - Maddening Strike, Dance of War and Conviction already does that. K, I know that Dance of War and Conviction does more than that, but Maddening Strike only does that already. No necessity for this gambit, we have enough gambits already in my opinion.
Shield Four Set Bonus: More HoT pulses would be too much. If you want to boost our healing (which I don't thing that needs boost at all), boost the quantity please, not the duration. We already have two gambits that do the same thing (which one of them should be changed imo), we have the shield legendary capstone that gives 2 more. I suggest to make it one more pulse instead and add another thing (as critical defense maybe) or just leave one more pulse.
Never Surrender - Its a very nice change and now I would put it in my hotbar again and bear the penalties to use it. It just doesn't seem like a "panic button" if it lasts 5 minutes. It could last 1 minute or even 30 seconds (something like Shall Not Fall This Day of RK's) so you would use it in advance when you see the healer died (and its being on its way to be ressed, maybe haha) or the boss just got too angry, bad debuffs on you, etc. If it lasts 5 minutes, I would activate it on the most "tense part" of a boss fight (like Durchest when you start calling the adds) and just let it stays there for the rest of the fight and not worry about anything. Doesn't seems thrilling.
Suggestion for Never Surrender: Reduce its duration to 30 seconds or 1 minute (and some of its cooldown, if possible) or.. make it work like it works now (transfer 20% of each fellow's threat to warden), but remove the penalties altogether. The thing is, after having your threat on a boss reduces to zero, getting 20% of your five friend's threat would give you 100% of the AVERAGE threat of your group, which in 90% of the cases is still far from what the leading threat member have. And knowing how threat works, there's a percentage which you have to BEAT that friend's leading threat for you to get the boss' attention back. But its ok, we can work on that as fast as we can (not with out macros grayed out tho). Please mind that losing all your fellow's buffs, food buffs, scrolls and token on you is already a debuff enough for dying and the tank now has to get threat back as fast as possible (after ress casting, accepting ress AND revive animation) before someone else dies. It doesn't need penalties.
Defiant Challenge: It spooked me to see this legendary wasn't mentioned also. There's a big petition for it to change, please check the warden's forum for it. My suggestions are there also, so I wont post them here again (this got already big as it is haha). In any case, its not a good one to trait as it functions right now.
I read the Captain Dev's Diary for expansion last week and it surprised me (a good surprise haha) on how much Turbine thought of the class thoroughly and that now you can sat that EVERY class trait, legendary trait and skill there are worth it. After expansion release my captain will have a long conversation with the city bard lol - I will sit back and think carefully time I retrait my captain, for anything. I hope I feel the same thing about wardens - that those skills/traits that weren't as useful as they were designed to be, now can be used or slotted. I want to think between good choices before traiting my warden. Please do that Turbine, not only for wardens but for every class. Reduce what is OP, increase what is UP - test it extensively.
Thank you.Last edited by Farian; Aug 22 2011 at 06:41 PM.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
The whole point of swapping the masteries from 3 class traits to a single legendary is to give us more options on class trait builds by reducing the options for legendary trait builds.
Both changes cannot be seen independent of each other.
Reusing the current class mastery traits for the double builders is then only a logical consequence of the potency addition.
Whatever else WotW does or not does is - imo - secondary to the fact that one legendary replaces 3 class traits. And better to stick the masteries on an existing legendary instead of making a new one that only has then the masteries.
While it might make sense to have something like this on existing gambit lines having them on 3 builders makes them much more easily and faster accessible. Especially aggro drops is something you might want to do pretty fast.
Aggression - Maddening Strike, Dance of War and Conviction already does that. K, I know that Dance of War and Conviction does more than that, but Maddening Strike only does that already. No necessity for this gambit, we have enough gambits already in my opinion.
This - depending how it will really be implemented - might render DC kind of useless then.
Probably aggression will be just a single target skill while DC is on effective a radius.Last edited by monk_tbd; Aug 22 2011 at 07:45 PM.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
No, it isn't. For tanking the loss of avoidance is (in my opinion) not offset by the extra ICMR and Attack Speed. In addition it should gain the bonuses from the individual Legacies that buff the other stances.
I use the stance for DPSing whenever the fight is short or "broken" with phases or has a substantial amount of running around where I'm not hitting stuff, e.g. last boss in Suri-Sarma, Poison Wing in OD, skirmishes, daily quests, ...
More and weaker pulses = less time spent on healing gambits => more time for avoidance buffs, threat, or damage.
Problem is that some Wardens want to use it as a crutch and want it boosted others want to do away with it entirely. The only Wardens I have personally seen slotting it currently are using it because they are inexperienced or unskilled in the way to generate threat "properly" and thus they spend a lot of time building and firing this gambit instead of doing some Precise Blows, Conviction, or other useful gambits. As soon as it runs out they lost aggro to a dps.

Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
The reflect is by far the best part about that skill. Although DC is not completely useless for the force taunt, the reflect is really what makes it worth slotting in PvP. I use it for threat reasons pretty much only in OD Fear, the 5 second buffer for me to build my threat back up is nice (if I have it already built).
Aug 25 2011 05:50 PM #308
Re: Compilation of changes to the Warden.
I use DC in gortheron and some trash pulls to build threat on the cc'd mobs. While conviction always pulls it away from the healer in my group, usually they immediately go for the healer in the other group unless I use DC once or twice on them. It's still our only way to generate threat on a mob without damaging it.

Thanks Mysterion Like I said I added your stuff and gave you credit
The only thing I am still wondering about, and I'm not asking you do this now, you've done plenty and more, is what happened with the spear line bleed removals? Are those still around? Are they worthwhile?

Dear Friend and Small Business Owner,
Do you remember WHY you went into business for yourself? Was it to make a lot of money? Or was it to "be your own boss" – to "chart your own course" – to have a little more "free" time?
Yeah right!
You feel like a slave to the business There's very little family time The business consumes your mind 24/7 There's major stress – no real freedom You feel like you have a "job" rather than a business And your day is consumed putting out "brush fires"
I know how you feel because I've "been there, done that"! In 1997, I found myself a slave to my business, but I learned two secrets that changed my life forever. Now, you can learn the proven systems that helped me transform my company from the trunk of my car into a multimillion dollar enterprise that is revolutionizing small businesses around the world.
Hi, I'm Howard Partridge. I'm originally from L.A. (Lower Alabama!). I grew up on welfare in Mobile, Alabama and there were 7 kids crammed in a in a little 600 square foot shack. The roof was so bad on that house that when it rained we had to get out all the pots and pans to catch the leaks!
I still remember getting Christmas presents from the social workers. When you grow up like that, how are you likely to turn out? For me, it was a long haired rebellious teenager. At 18, I got kicked out of the house.
I climbed on a Greyhound bus to Houston and arrived with 25 cents in my pocket. Eventually I became a professional waiter, but I always wanted my own business. But I still had no money. Until I met my wife who is from New Jersey.
Denise Concetta Antionette Pennella (now THAT's Italian!). While in New Jersey a friend of the family was tooling around in a little red Mercedes convertible. He was my age (23 at the time). I wanted to know what he did, and I wanted to know if it was legal! I discovered that he owned his own business. Well, when you marry into an Italian family, you don't get wedding presents. What do you get?
We got $3,000.00 in wedding money. As soon as we got back to Houston, I spent that money on starting my own business. My wife was really thrilled about that, let me tell you!!!
That's when I started my first company out of the trunk of my car. After 13 long years, I found myself a slave to my business. If I went on vacation, I had the appointment book and cell phone with me. Much of the vacation was spent dealing with employees or clients back home.
That's when I learned two secrets that changed my life forever. In 1997, I read a book called The E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber. I learned that you have to work "on" your business instead of "in" it. I learned that you have to have systems in your business if you want it to run well. I went to my favorite place in the world – Destin, Florida and began working "on" my business.
By building systems in my business, I was able to transform it into a multi-million dollar enterprise. I created a referral marketing system that generates an average of $64k per month in automatic referrals in just one of my companies. I have 40 employees that love their work and the business is turnkey so I don't have to be there.
About 15 years ago, I began sharing my secrets with other small business owners. I was speaking at a convention and shared the stage with Michael Gerber (the guy whose book changed my business life). Michael came and spoke at my conference. Since that first time, he has done several projects with me and I have had the pleasure of featuring best-selling authors such as New York Times Best Selling Author Dr. Joseph Michelli (author of The Starbucks Experience), and Bob Burg (author of The Go-Giver).
Then, I met a man with an unusual name… Zig Ziglar. Zig Ziglar is the most quoted motivational speaker on the planet. Zig came and spoke at my conference and I got the opportunity to meet his family. Before too long I was doing video webcasts for their Success 2.0 program. And now I am blessed, honored (and amazed!) that I am their exclusive small business coach.
I was quoted in Zig's latest book and got to help Tom with the last chapter. Now Tom and I travel the world sharing the Born To Win message for Business Owners. Small business owners around the world are learning how to stop being a slave to their businesses by transforming it into a predictable, profitable turnkey operation.
My first published book 7 Secrets of a Phenomenal L.I.F.E. reached #1 in three categories on Amazon.com and is now available at bookstores nationwide.
Finally, I have been recognized by the #1 leadership expert in the world… John C. Maxwell. I am a founding member of the John Maxwell Coaching Team and an independent, certified John Maxwell Coach.
"If you want to be a phenomenal success, hang around successful people like my buddy Howard here… he not only knows the way, but shows the way" – Dr. John C. Maxwell
