Ascension Changelog

[Pending Restart] - Demonic Persistence now also applies a pseudo buff to the player that mirrors the stacks of the buff applied to your pets (so its easier to track with addons like weak auras).

These caches are an alternative way to obtain existing Worldforged Enchants, they are unique caches hidden throughout the world in thematic locations to the Enchant they hold.

[Pending Restart] - The Base Spell Power scaling of Feugo and Arctis has been reduced to 48% from 50%.

[Pending Restart] - Fixed an issue where Winters Bite and Soul of the Feugo was both negatively and positively double dipping. This means it was stronger on bosses that had debuffs that increased damage taken and weaker on bosses that did not have such debuffs. Additionally, increased the targetting reliability of Soul of the Feugo and Winters Bite in AoE, but they lose 30% damage to the next target they hit. This means if I hit target 1 for 10,000, I will hit target 2 for 7,000, then target 3 for 4,900, this functionality is similar to Chain Lightning. This change is to mainly reign in the power of the enchantment while still giving remaining as a strong cleave option.

A level requirement has been added for enchantments such as Crusader, in order to decrease its relevance in early stages of the game such as Battlegrounds. Diminishing the power difference between users who owned their enchanted equipment and those who didn't.
