Ancient Sinew Wrapped Lamina is now a 32 Slot Quiver (Up from 18)

Fixed an issue that has been present on Ascension for years, where aggro range was not calculated properly. It was being calculated from the center point of the mob rather than the outer circle. Greatly diminishing the intended aggro range of mobs. We will be reviewing dungeons and making the needed changes to ensure this fix makes sense!

Withered Touch damage, which certain undead pets use, has been set extremely low in PvP as a temporary measure. (It will be removed on next server restart as it is not intended to be a pet spell).

Fixed a numerous amount of silences and interrupts that could interrupt Mana-Forged barrier. When reporting these issues to the bugtracker, please include the mob or spell name that interrupted you.

Fixed an issue where players sometimes would not get arena rating after queing 2v2.

Devlin Agamand's Frostbolt now requires 7% of base mana from 10% of their base mana. This is brought closer towards Banshee Wail and similar spells that cost 4 to 5% of base mana.

[League III] Fixed an issue where Divine Fury could not be extracted.

[Pending Restart] Fixed an issue where Random Enchantments like Flame Surge and Dusk till Dawn would cause multiple hits to the same targets and multi-hits to the two targets.
