Pink Bean - An in-depth look

Then you'd think they'd have changed that in the WZ files? I didn't see anything about changing it.

Perhaps this stuff can be undone with an all cure?

Is the boss actually released in-game, or is it only sitting in the data? Even if it is released, don't forget that this is only the first test release. They'll need additional patches to sort out the kinks.

Or maybe Holy Shield will finally have a purpose outside a pre-emptive Dispel.

Even at max level, Holy Shield only covers the party for a small fraction of the time. It will help out (it helps out a lot at HT already), but I doubt that it will be the main solution. >_>
