I think it is a great patch other than the fletching and pottery nerfs which screw over the casual player to prevent the ubers from learning the skills by throwing plat at them.
Any patch that doesn't screw up rogues is a good patch. We ain't broke so don't fix us.

Quote: Oh and word is, though it's not mentioned here, that they also increased Monk avoidance.
There has been no indication, from parses or my personal experience, that monk avoidance has been increased. Word had it that it was upped on test but, if so, that change does not seem to have made it to the live servers.

------------------------------
- Some NPCs were unable to cast Area Effect spells and other innate abilities. This would have caused many of the recently retuned NPCs to be considerably easier than intended.
- Updated the range on the Magician spell Rod of Mystical Transvergence.
- Rods of Transvergence and Modulation Rods can no longer be used by those who do not have enough maximum hit points to survive the mana conversion. Please note: That is MAXIMUM hit points! It is still possible for appropriate level characters to rod themselves to death.
- Barbarian Beastlords will once again return to summoning their own dogs. Not someone else's. If you were summoning a dog that didn't appear familiar, please do not worry. Your own dog has returned. He missed you. Please feed him.
- Altered the stacking for the Shaman spell Voice of the Berserker to match the other spells in its line.
- Aura of White Petals has been updated to have its strength as it was prior to its stacking changes.
- In the original patch yesterday morning, /SHIELD was added as an innate ability that all Warriors now gain at level 35. Warriors may now choose to take a portion of melee damage that is intended for another. Warriors, please type /SHIELD for a full description of this ability. You may find that it assists you greatly in your groups.
Correspondingly, NPCs and Pets over level 30 who are Warriors were granted this ability as well. Certain NPCs and Pets may choose to protect beings that they have an affinity for, if they believe that it will benefit the shielded being. For now, however, there is not yet a way to manually cause or prevent this behavior in pets.

Re: Patch message Oct 16th
Anyone got any hard numbers on the retuning of SoL bosses/minis? I know everyone talks about how they've gimped a lot of the mobs, but just curious as to how much the encounters were actually gimped. I know our guild has mowed through a couple of mobs pretty easily now, where they used to be a hard fought battle.
