New Talismans in PVP Store: Guard and Enduring

[Kardas]

Well those Talismans certainly look interesting. Will make buff removers even more important now, nerf or no nerf. I can't even remember where Guard Talismans dropped before the October Tuning Update. I've had only one of them ever.
And thanks for the extra inventory slots BTW.

I thought that permadeath prevented dead toons from being revived. And if a toon is guarded by endure it can't die.

What am I missing? ��

If you look at the description for the Permadeath effect, you'll see that Permadeath ignores Endure. I found this out the hard way farming Game of Death with Assassin Golden Son. Permadeath also ignores Ghost, which is nice against Magus Lord of Light.

Cool talismans. How does the guard set compare with the shell set? I'm still unsure about the reduction percentage of the shell

I don't have shells, but I believe Shells reduce damage by 50%, while Guard reduces damage by 25%. Also Shell Talismans last one turn (unless you have multiple sets on a character) while Guard lasts two turns. Guard Talismans are rather similar to the Warrior Troll's Power move, except that power move also separately increases DEF and MR.

Those talismans are worthless against New born of light and the other characters that can remove buff effects, too many to write their names. Almost everyone now has one or two NBOL. I for example have 2 Wrath, 2 NBOL and 2 Claivoyant not to mention Shaman Eddie all of them are good removers of these talismans. We are just filling up our talisman slots with more and more dump talismans

I'd like to know if these talisman sets (endure+guard) will still be available in the store next week, at least, cos I'm missing some coins for purchasing a third from a set, or they will be gone after the reset from today?

We will give a heads up in the News feature when there is 2 or less weeks left before they go away. We haven't given that notice yet, so you'll have plenty of time.

Thanks, Sparton, I'll keep and eye upon the deadline... those iron coins are pretty hard to earn when you aren't a frequent Arena player.

just got my 2nd set, shooting for 4 to offset arena stats

have the talismans vanished for anyone else because of the monthly reset?

Gone for me too. Legendary got me another GCotD. Just got one yesterday as well.

Yeah, gone for me too. It must be unintentional. Sparton indicated earlier that we'd get 1-2 weeks notice before they go away.

"Funny" about GCotD. I got my first one a couple weeks ago, finally, after playing since Day 1. I got another one a few days ago. I'm happy to keep both of them, but it's funny how often the second one shows up quickly after the first. Similar thing happened to me recently with Death Dog and a couple others.

Sorry about the confusion/missing talismans. They should be restored to the store now for weekly purchases.

We'll also make sure to update the News button to indicate these are going away in just under 2 weeks now (last day is August 12th, 5 PM PT).
