Ascension Changelog

[Thrall] - Horizontal Tier Token Vendor is now available for Tier 1! In the coming days, we plan to launch more tiers available. This vendor allows you to purchase tier tokens for items that you've already acquired. Example: If I purchase an Arcanist Helm (heroic) I can now buy Heroic Tier Tokens for the Helm Slot in that tier. This allows those who are playing multiple specializations, adapting builds for upcoming changes or just want to try out something new is no longer limited by their tier choice. The current price is 100g per tier and a 50% increase in cost per difficulty. This means that Tier 1 Token (Normal) costs 100g. Tier 2 Token (Normal) costs 200g. Tier 1 Token (Mythic) costs 200g. Tier 2 Token (Mythic) costs 400g. You can access this vendor via the "Tier X" option where you exchange your tier tokens. (In this case, Major Mattingly and Overlord Run'thak) in Booty Bay, Orgrimmar or Stormwind.

[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.

[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.
