Official: Finros Fixes Paladin Group Spells!

[Fallen]

Spells 1605, 1609, 1617*, and 1618 have been updated such that they will no longer drop from members of the group that temporarily leave the group, so long as they remain in the same room as the original caster.

*1617 was apparently "bugged" to work this way already, though.

This is actually huge. Such a massive inconvenience to have these spells drop constantly.

Sweeeeeet!!

Looks like they still drop the second you step away from the Paladin, though, which is still buggy IMO. You should have a small window like the other profession spells. People get stuck in RT all the time.

Well, it's a start.

[Fallen]

Agreed 100%

I'm aware of the issue with group spells dropping over a brief separation in rooms, but that problem is somewhat difficult to solve. I considered several possible solutions to the issue when doing this last update, but none were particularly practical for the current spell and group implementations. That said, I'm not really satisfied with the status quo either, so I may revisit it when a few other items are off my plate.

So, good for ambushers, I guess. Pretty much no change for everyone else. As was said, it's a start.
