Ascension Changelog

[Mythic+] - Weighted items whose stats more closely reflect the Mythic+ loot cache selection to appear slightly more often in the loot rolling option. This means items like Hourglass of the Unraveller, Quantum Blade, The Bladefist, Latros Shifting Sword and other items who appear in the agility selection will now do so more frequently. Items without these key stats (or procs) such as the Cowl of the Guiltless will be weighted slightly less in these selections.

[Mythic +] - Removed items from the personal mythic+ loot cache whose stats did not have any resemblence in the option selected. Example: Syrannis Mystic Sheen a cloak made up of increased armor and resistances will no longer be able to be found in the Strength, Agility, Intellect, or Spirit options (even when it was previously superbly rare).

Elemental Rend from the Spell Shredder Legendary Mystic Enchantment will no longer roll an individual chance at being dodged, blocked or parried. This synchronizes the behavior between Elemental Shredder and Elemental Rend.

Fixed an issue where Seed of Life could be triggered via Lifebloom.

Lifebloom can now be casted on multiple targets at the same time.

Corrected the tooltip of Redoubt Talent.

Fixed an issue with Demonic Pact not triggering. Additionally, corrected the tooltips of rank 1, 2 and 3. This will require a Launcher Update.

[Pending Restart] - Improved the logic of Poison Bomb to make it more fluid to use. Additionally, fixed an issue where Poison Bomb could randomly unlearn at times.

Fixed an issue where Celestial Fury could trigger from non-arcane spells.

Improved the tooltip of the Tidal Mastery enchant.

Reaching Recovery no longer reduces the healing the initial healing of Chain Heal while Tidal Force is active.

[New Capstone]: Tidal Mastery - Healing Wave criticals add 2 seconds, Lesser Healing Wave 1 second and Chain Heal criticals 0.5 seconds to the duration of Tidal Force.

Tidal Force now has a 90 second cooldown, up from 80. The Tidal Mastery talent now also reduces the cooldown of Tidal Force by 6/12/18/24/30 seconds in addition to its previous effects.

Sniper Training has been adjusted, the new tooltip reads: While standing still for 3 sec, you gain Sniper Training increasing the damage of your Hunter shots by 1/2/3% for 15 seconds. This effect stacks up to 5 times. Moving during combat removes one stack per second.

Rapid Killing is now 3 point talent as intended.

[Alar] - [Area - 52] - [The Eye] - [Kaelthas Sunstrider] - Greatly reduced lag genenerated during Kaelthas Sunstriders forming of the Dying Star on Ascended difficulty.

[Alar] - [Area - 52] - [Pending Restart] - [Serpent Shrine Caverns] - [Morogrim Tidewalker] - Tidewalker Lurkers Carnivorous Bite will now stack for each Murloc individually. Previously each cast would be applied to the same stack, causing damage to scale falsely if a Murloc empowered with Mgrmrs Gllrlmrl ability applied a stack. Carnivorous Bite now lasts for 15 seconds up from 10 seconds to give each Murloc the chance to refresh his own debuff.

[Pending restart] Fixed an issue where Endless Agony would not extend the duration of Curse of Agony.

Boomer now has a higher proc chance, but can only trigger once every 8 seconds, up from every 3 seconds.

With the Mystic Enchant Tidecaller, your Healing Wave casts also increases the healing done by your next Wild Growth by 5%, stacking up to 5 times.

Stormhammer can now trigger the cooldown reduction on Concussion Blow (Stormhammer) with damage from Stormstrike while affected by the Stormhammer buff, and the Stormhammer buff now lasts for 12 seconds, up from 8 seconds. In addition, the cooldown of Concussion Blow is now 25 seconds, down from 30 seconds and the range of Concussion Blow (Stormhammer) has been increased to 30 yards, up from 15 yards.

[Pending restart] Combo Shot from the Compound Power enchant no longer targets enemies that aren't already in combat. This means it will no longer cause ninja pulls.

[This change got deleted via the bot] - Sniper Training has been adjusted, the new tooltip reads: While standing still for 3 sec, you gain Sniper Training increasing the damage of your Hunter shots by 1/2/3% for 15 seconds. This effect stacks up to 5 times. Moving during combat removes one stack per second.

Reduced the armor of all TBC bosses and further reduced the armor of Shade of Aran, Lady Vashj, Leotheras the Blind, High Astromancer Solarian, Void Reaver, Kaelthas Sunstrider, Maiden of Virtue, Netherspite and Hex Lord Malachrass.

One with the Light now makes Holy Specialization increase the damage of your Smite or Holy Fire by 4% per stack, up from 3%.

The triggered attacks from Crusader Strike and Divine Storm with One with the Light now have an increased coefficient when using a Two-Handed weapon. This means that just as Crusader Strike and Divine Storm baseline damage goes up when you equip a harder-hitting Two-Handed weapon, so will the triggered bonus damage.

Fixed an issue where the Triggered spells Crusader Strike (One With The Light) and Divine Storm (One With The Light) could be dodged/missed/parried whilst the triggering spell didnt.

Fixed an issue where Knightfall from the Knight of the Eclipse Legendary Mystic Enchantment could proc other proc spells.

The Evoker Legendary Mystic Enchantment now also increases your chance to proc Brain Freeze and Missile Barrage by 10% as a baseline effect. This will help round out the frustration of not being able to get your proc effects rolling.

Arcane Synergy now also makes the Lunar Eclipse effect from your Eclipse talent trigger from dealing damage with Arcane Missiles.

Fixed an issue where the damage increase from the Shatter Epic enchantment was not able to be stacked with effects like Brain Freeze and Evoker. The critical strike damage bonus was functioning properly.

Fixed an issue where Arcane Blast would not stack up properly when using Temporal Shift together with Harnessed Energy.

Reduced the cast time of Temporal Blast to 2.2 seconds, from 2.5 seconds.

Temporal Shift has an additional effect: Reaching 3 stacks of Temporal Haste will trigger a temporally charged Lunar Eclipse. This Lunar Eclipse is just as powerful as normal one, but expires three times faster.

[Total Eclipse] Total Eclipse has been reworked and now states: Solar Eclipse increases your Nature spell crit by 10% and makes your next Wrath apply Entangling Roots for 6 sec to players or Insect Swarm to monsters. Lunar Eclipse increases your Arcane damage by 10% (5% vs players) and makes your next Starfire apply a 2 second stun to players or Moonfire to monsters.

This effect stacks up to 3 times. Chain Heals cast while this effect is active will also jump to an additional target.

The Divine Aegis enchant now increases the effect of Divine Aegis by 10%, instead of increasing it by an additional 2%. This does not change the overall power of this enchant but makes its power more clear.

The Ancestral Awakening enchant now increases the effect of Ancestral Awakening by 10%, instead of increasing it by an additional 3%. This does not change the overall power of this enchant but makes its power more clear.

[Overflow] Overflow has been reworked and now states: Your Healing Touch overflows and also heals a friendly party or raid target within 8 yards for 30% of the amount healed. In addition, Healing Touch can also trigger Living Seed on non-criticals. While active, every fourth Healing Touch cast will make your next Chain Heal increased by 50% and make it grant you Natures Grace (if known) and trigger a Living Seed on each target.

Guerilla Tactics now last the same duration of Sniper Training. The new duration is 15 seconds from 10 seconds.

Frenzied Swipe has an added mechanic, whenever Go for the Throat (talent) triggers, the cooldown of Frenzy Swipe is also reduced by 2 seconds.

Trick Shots now makes Compound Shot ricochet, in addition to Aimed Shot and Arcane Shot.

Focused Burst now teaches you a new, separate version of Multi-Shot instead of replacing the normal one. This means that you can choose to use the normal Multi-Shot or the Focused Burst version as you prefer. The damage penalty and cooldown increase only apply to the Focused Burst shot.

Locust Ranger now triggers Wild Quiver AND reduces the cooldown of your Chimera Shot whenever you cast Locust Shot on a target afflicted by your Serpent Sting. In addition, dealing damage with Wild Quiver to a target afflicted by Insect Swarm deals additional Nature damage to all nearby enemies.

Wild Wrath now triggers from Steady Shot (or Locust Shot) instead of off WIld Quiver

Munitions Expert no longer affects the cast time of Steady Shot. This interaction gave far too much power to Steady Shot when using Quick-Draw while making Steady Shot way too weak when using Armor-Piercing. With this change, this enchant will no longer make or break Steady Shot for your build.

Compound Shot now has a 2 second cast time (reduced by Ranged haste) and a 6 second cooldown (down from 10). It also has a brand new mechanic: Compound Shot can be recast to trigger a Combo Shot, dealing instant damage that pierces all enemies in front of you and makes them bleed for 15 seconds.

[Bloodbath] - Bloodbath now deals damage to all targets within 8 yards of you, instead of in front of you.

Thunder Slam now reduces the damage of your Thunder Clap by 40%, changed from 30%, but Lightning Blade from Thunder Slam now increases the damage the target takes from your Thunder Clap by 100%, up from 80%.

Fixed an issue where Holy Hell was benefitting more spells than clarified in the tooltip. It should now only increase the damage of Conflagrate when Holy Fire is on your target.

Hydromancers Conductor now also increases the damage of your next Electrocute damage by 25% (10% against players) per stack. In addition, the duration of Water Nova has been increased to 8 seconds, up from 6 seconds.

Increased the base damage of Water Nova and Electrified Water Nova by 50% from the Legendary Mystic Enchant Hydromancer. Spell power scaling remains unchanged.

Hasty Stormstrike now reduces the cooldown of Wind Strike by 0.2 seconds, from 0.4 seconds. This addresses an issue where Hasty Stormstrike was twice as powerful for Wind Strike when compared to Stormstrike since Wind Strike has half the cooldown of Stormstrike.

Harbingers Bile now deals 10% reduced damage versus players, changed from 20%.

Wrath of the Plague now deals 10% reduced damage versus players, changed from 20%.
