Ascension Changelog

Add movement for several creatures in Barrens for Barrens Kodo and Gazelle.

Fixed a bug with Turn the Tables where it would give the buff to the whole raid instead of only to the player with the talent.

Deep Freeze should be working as intended and is now available to pick up again.

The Headless Horseman has been entirely rescripted and buffed. [Requires server restart].

All creatures except for the Vekniss Drones and bosses in The Temple of Ahnqiraj now respawn every 3 hours. The Vekniss Drones now respawn every 20 seconds (after they have completely despawned, so, few minutes or so).

Applied a fix to an issue that was causing frame lag on the Bug Trio encounter. This will be seen with our next patch update.

Anyone who has been mind controlled in the last 20 seconds, has received The Prophets Madness in the last 30 seconds, or is the main target of Skeram or his mirages should no longer be mind controllable and is not a viable target for The Prophets Madness.

Nerfed the health of Skerams 25 man illusions from 53 to 45.

Reincarnation and Soulstone now consume a combat resurrection charge during raid encounters.

Skerams illusions no longer cause players to be mind controlled on death.

Skeram should no longer occasionally cast Maddening Gaze/Mental Wound on a player that is not the top aggro.

Removed the extra abilities on Skerams illusions, normalized their physical damage and increased it by 25%.

Applied some changes to Skeram to make his clones less erratic, this should fix a lot of major issues with Skeram.

Made Skerams Arcane Explosions a little less random, by making it so that rather than running a chance to spawn a large explosion every so often, he will now designate a set amount of time in between each large explosion (still random, but eliminates the possibility of getting screwed over by RNG).

Skeram will now attempt to avoid Mind Controlling the tank of his mirages.

Skerams Mind Control now lasts 8 seconds from 10 seconds, and its cooldown is now between 12 and 15 seconds from 10 and 15 seconds.

"Lazy Peons" will now be fully functional again.

Corrected an issue where if Skeram was trying to look for a target to mind control who didnt have The Prophets Madness, he would not specify that target could not be his tank.

Skeram will now send all players into the same realm of madness when using The Prophets Madness.

Made the targeting for The Prophets Madness smarter and more efficient.

Skeram will no longer drop threat when blinking.

Corrected health scaling of illusions between 10 and 25 on the Skeram encounter.

Fix for issue where Skeram would sometimes cause the server to crash when blinking.

Skerams Itch/Poison Vial mechanic has been temporarily disabled.

When Skeram summons his mirages, Mind Controlled players will no longer be instantly killed.

The Prophets Madness can no longer be used by Skerams mirages.

Skerams Mind Control can no longer by used by his mirages.

The epic PvP sets should now have their intended honor costs.

Pandemic now also allows your Corruption to benefit from your haste.

Mind Melt now increases the crit chance of all Shadow DoT effects.

Added Deadly Brew's range limitation to the tooltip.

Fixed the tooltip on Focused Attacks.

Fixed typos on some RE tooltips.

Corrected an issue on live where Ossirians Supreme buff was still applying. The buff currently increases his damage by 0% on live, so it is just a visual bug which will last until next restart.

To make the Ossirian encounter more learnable and less frustrating/unfair. Rather than Ossirian randomizing his abilities on pull, he will now split the abilities he used before in phases. You can now know exactly what to expect each pull, and you can know that his abilities will switch at 50% health. A majority of his heavy AoE abilities take place in the first 50% to avoid 1-shotty behavior when his enrage begins.

Increased Ossirians health pool by 2x.

With the removal of Ossirians Supreme buff, given how damage increases are not additive, we buffed the Everexpanding Void debuff to increase his damage by 20% per stack from 10%. This should still result in a net decrease in his peak damage from before.

Added a tooltip to the Everchanging Void debuff to better show that the creature changes its abilities as you progress through the fight. (This is to be applied with our next patch release)

Nerfed Void Singularity ability damage by 30% across the board (Everchanging Void).

Removed the Supreme/crystal mechanic from Ossirian, effectively nerfing his damage across the board.

Ossirians Void Singularity now has 33% less health in 10 man raids to match the increase in DPS from 10 man to 25 man raid more accurately.

Ossirian will now apply 3x less meteors to 10 man raids.

Kurinnaxx will no longer teleport its main threat.

Corrected an issue where Andorov would add the option to purchase items from him, but would not let you open the actual vendor screen.

Major improvements to "In Dreams".

Added Mystic Orb drop chance to Pusillin.

Fixed an issue where LFD teleport was added to Laughing Skull.

[Dire Maul] Implement proper Gordok Spirit behavior.

Added Grimoire of Corruption VII/Grimoire of Shadow Bolt X/Grimoire of Immolate VIII to AQ20 bosses.

Fixed an issue where Elemental Invasion mobs had too low mystic orb shard drop chance on Andorhal.

Restored the original damage value of Ossirians Thunderclap, but it can now no longer critically strike.

Ossirians Tentacles now deal half the damage they did before as shadow damage.

Reduced the amount of tentacle spawns in the Ossirian encounter by 30% to accommodate the fix to his tentacle spawn points.

Drastically improved the tentacle spawn points in the Ossirian encounter.

Readded the guards in front of the entrance to the Chromaggus encounter.

The Crows Cache event will now always spawn a chest on each continent.

Nerfed the close-range Everchanging Void DoT by 43.75%.

Released Ossirian the Unscarred.

Rajaxx will now cast for 3 seconds after using Sweeping Slam. This should fix the issue where he would auto attack players after knocking them back while giving the spell a more appealing visual.

Grinning Reaver will now be BoP.

Ragnaros: Sols health has been reduced by 20% on 10 player and increased by 20% on 25 player to better match the scaling of dps between raid sizes.

Ragnaros: Ignite Mana effect reduced by 10%

Ragnaros: Unstable Flames damage from Sol & T4 Sons of Flame reduced by 25%

Ragnaros: Molten Spark damage reduced by 20%

Ragnaros: Blazing Ground damage reduced by 10%

Corrected an issue where one of the two flag changes to remove Burus tauntability during his vulnerability phase were not changed on Andorhal and Laughing Skull.

The Cloud of Death used in the Ayamiss encounter now deals half the damage, twice as fast (making things like Dampen Magic that much better)

Increased Moams mana pool by 66% to match the extra players being drained in comparison to 10 man.

The Hivezara Larvas on the Ayamiss encounter now have 20% less health.

The Cloud of Disease used in/around the Ayamiss encounter now deals 33% less damage.

The area around the Gurubashi Arena is now a sanctuary, and Honorable Combat behavior within the Battle Ring has been fixed.

Fixed an issue that would cause some players to be flagged for FFA PvP in capitol cities.

Applied a fix for Arcane Missiles Rank 8 not being learnable despite having Arcane Missiles Rank 7. (Will be active on the next server restart)
