Update: Unfortunately we found that increasing your Renown wonā€™t update your ā€œI have many Leather-Bound Booksā€ achievement on Xbox. This has been passed onto the team which communicates directly with Xbox so hopefully this will be able to be fixed soon. ---

I was stuck on 580/20000 for the renown achievement but it unlocked when I completed a level for the Faction Assault event. ---

Kindly take your Sunspear nerf and shove it. Or give me the xp back so I can apply it to something You didnā€™t break after I spent countless hours leveling. ---

Thing is as well, the actual Stryx class has Stormcaller which has no synergy with Phoenicia. Yes it helps fill it, but canā€™t help itā€™s spell. So we can expect a change to Phoenicia to boost off a light stormā€¦ to correct this oversightā€¦ ---

The Issue with Sunspear was not the storm. It was the 2nd trait being the same as the talent: ![GemsOfWar_2j77VixPp5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/a/8aebb2f9b2e1dca11ea2172dae5bd717f9c06f9f.png) ![GemsOfWar_O8XG1GYgjk](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/3/9300a81605d15efcd28f42ee135d589aab36954f.png) In fact, the storm was more than welcome, due to the same reason the storm is great on Skadi for blue storm at start of every turn. Dont get me wrong, the new trait is amazing, but its replaced the wrong 1 IMO. I, personally here, would rather the 2nd trait be replaced with a nerfed version of the current 3rd trait, so 1 bonus mana per red match, and put the old 3rd trait back so we can get the red storm at start of every turn as well. ---

iā€™d like to report a bug. Since the talent is supposed to do the same thing as the trait that was replaced in the tree, I seem to be missing a red storm on every turn when playing sunspear. You guyā€™s wordsā€¦not mine. ---

Wow, this is incredible. They completely borked this and changed the wrong talent. Iā€™m actually laughing at this now. ---

I wish they would just admit that phoenicia and sunspear was too powerful. Instead they take one of the best classes in the game (one of the few I have at 100, a staple of red day guild wars) and make it useless and act like they are improving it somehow.
