Aaaaand Update 2.0.6 is finally here! It's that "small little update with tweaks" promised early in the summer that's been rotting (or perhaps cooking...) on TL for a long while. A lot of additional tweaks have been added - basically it's about total rebalancing of the Thoth-Amon's Stronghold encounters (T3 raids). Some other stuff (like the possibility to utilize some of the Khitan trophies in a more meaningful way or nerfing the OP "interrupted comboes" of the rangers) has been changed as well. If players hope to enjoy better and easier AoC, you should collect more Age of Conan gold in your bag. All in all a nice little patch that will no doubt anger PVPers anyway since it doesn't really cater to most pressing PVP issues (aside from the rebalancing of single-hit comboes and forcing rangers to actually use upper/lower strikes bonuses). If you are lack of AoC gold, you still can choose to buy aoc gold from others. It is the same interesting. Full notes below!

Reduced the proc rate of the Shred Armor feat.
Exhausting Traps will now refresh the duration on any running debuffs in PvP, while keeping the same mechanic with one debuff per Ranger in PvE.
