[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed an issue causing a large amount of lag / fps problems when initially logging in to a character with a lot of skill cards.

[Crimson Champion] Fixed an issue with the recent visual update that caused the passive block chance buff to be consumed sometimes. This change is live.

[Pending Restart] - Reduced the health of the Banshees Summoned by Baroness Anastari by 33%. (Since they are now interruptible you can choose to pump DPS into these adds instead so they won't recast their possess spell, they used to die immediately after possessing).

[Pending Restart] - Improved the reliability of Baroness' Banshee summons that possess others. Additionally, they are now interruptable.

[Pending Restart] - Curse of the Baroness from Baroness Anastari now also increases your damage done by 3% per stack of stack Baroness' Will (debuff that increases your damage taken by Baroness & her curses, left over by the curse).

[Pending Restart] - Emperor Dagran Thaurissan's Molten Armor effect (that reduces his armor) now increases his physical damage taken instead by 25% (approximately equal to the damage percent you would gain from the armor lost) instead of losing 50% of his armor and allows armor pen to remain a relevant stat on this fight. Additionally, Molten Armor no longer reduces magical damage by 50% (it used to make him immune to magic damage abilities). It now reduces his magic damage taken by 25%. Last but not least, his chilled armor effect after losing Avatar of Flame increases his magic damage taken by 25% (this value was intended to be 25% but was 20%).

Stoneclaw Totem is now more threatening than your autoattacks! It will now generate enough threat to actually pull aggro from enemies while dealing normal dps, but should not pull threat from a tank or someone using cooldowns for big damage. (pending restart)

[Pending Restart] Fixed an issue where some crowd control abilities would ignore Deterrence and Cloak of Shadows.

Updated the tooltip of the Chilled to the Bone talent to properly indicate that it only works with manually casted Ice Lances and Frostbolts.

[Ascension DB] Fixed an issue where not all vendors/npcs would be shown when looking at the 'Sold by' tab on an item page.

[Ascension DB] Fixed an issue where Mystic Scroll items would sometimes link to the incorrect Mystic Enchantment.

Fixed an issue where Powerful Eviscerate enchant was not increasing the damage of Disembowel.

[Pending Restart] Fixed an issue where Wraith was not properly working with Wrath of the Plague. Using Wrath will now properly apply the Wrath of the Plague dot on targets affected by Wraith.

[Pending Restart] - Fixed an issue where "Hand of Thaurisan" stun from Emperor Dagran Thaurissan was not abiding by diminishing returns. Additionally, the duration has been reduced by 20%.

[Pending Restart] - Reduced the damage of Fiery Charge from Emperor Dagran Thaurissan by approximately 25%.

[Pending Restart] - Increased the damage increase taken from Eye of Immol'thar from 50% to 75%.

[Pending Restart] - Eye of Immol'Thar will no longer be the same person.

[Pending Restart] - Reduced the range of Corrupted Roots from 100 yards to 30 yards cast by Tendris Warpwood in Dire Maul: East.

[Pending Restart] - Reduced the damage of Corrupted Roots casted by Tendris Warpwood in Dire Maul: East by approximately 25%.

Fixed an issue where Blackwing Lair loot was not dropping 100% of the time from Crow's Cache.

Fixed an issue where the spell icon of Eclipse Strike would become invisible while dragging it onto your hot bar. (pending patch)

Updated the tooltip for Celestial Focus capstone to clarify that it makes your next "Druid" Nature spell instant cast. No mechanics were changes.

Fixed an issue where Celestial Fury and Knight of the Eclipse would both be consumed by your next instant cast. It will now prioritize consuming Celestial Fury, so if both buffs are active your next instant cast will consume Celestial Fury first instead of consuming both.

[Crimson Champion] Separated the Crimson Champion stacks gained from blocking attacks into a new buff. Before, abilities would be empowered at 4 charges, even though the tooltip stated 3, because you started at 1 charge and could not lose it(confusing just typing that). The new buff will be true to the tooltip and empower and consume stacks at exactly 3. This will make the enchant much more clear and easier to track visually. No mechanics have been changed.

Updated Crimson Champion to the new tooltip format.

[Pending Restart] Increased the AP scaling of Pyroshot from 0.26>0.36, and increased the SP scaling from 0.075>0.16. The crit fix above will also apply to Area52 in addition to Thrall.

[Pending Restart] Fixed an issue where Pyroshot could not crit.
