[Alar] Demolishing Strike now deals 30% reduced damage versus players, changed from 40%.

Fixed an issue where Tier Gear from TK (head and shoulders) couldn't drop.

[Itemization] As a preface to this changelog, vanilla dungeon gearing is very arbitrary: Caster gear items sometimes have no spellpower, many melee pieces have no strength or agility but high amounts of stamina accompanied with high defensive or mixed stats between tank and melee that doesn't really make sense. For the actual change - Items found in normal dungeons from level 50 - 60 have greatly improved itemization that focus on increasing stats for your hero. Smoothing this gap out will greatly reduce the insurmountable gap in power gained from upgrading your Normal Dungeon Pieces from Heroic Dungeon Pieces.

[Pending restart] The buff from the weapon enchant Spellbinder's Rage now lasts for 10 sec, changed from 15 sec.

[The Eye] [Alar] Pending Restart - Reduced the maximum stacks of Radiating Heat to 3 down from 4 for all difficulties.

[The Eye] Corrected an issue where trash creatures could not drop any epic item other then Bottled Nethergron Extract.

[The Eye] [Prince Kaelthas Sunstrider] Kaelthas will now also destroy his legendary weapons from players inventory when he dies.

[The Eye] [Prince Kaelthas Sunstrider] Corrected an issue where Kaelthas would fail to resurrect his advisors when they were not in line of sight of him, causing the encounter to become stuck.

[The Eye] [Prince Kaelthas Sunstrider] Corrected an issue where a single Phoenix Egg could spawn an unlimited number of Phoenixes.

[The Eye] [High Astromancer Solarian] Corrected a rare case where High Astromancer Solarian could crash the server if all player died during here transformation into her Void Walker Form, leaving here without a target to attack when the transform was completed.

[Pending restart] The mana drain from Mana Fiend's Delirium buff is no longer reduced by certain talents and Mystic Enchantments that reduce mana cost. (This allowed for an exploit for players to gain far more power than intended from this Mystic Enchantment.)

Fixed the Nordrassil 4 Set Bonus for healing only modifying the base spirit you had from the proc instead of your total spirit.

[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed tooltips disappearing

Corrected an issue where Enchant Cloak: Phoenix Fire would create a Scroll of Enchant Cloak: Crushing Wave instead of Phoenix Fire.

Fixed the proc behavior of Crystalforge 4 Set Bonus.

Slightly reduced the spellpower on some overperforming M+ items from the spirit & intellect category and increased the stat values on many underperforming pieces of gear. Within the next few weeks we will see updates to Tank, Strength & Agility gear as well!

[Mythic+] Introducing Mythical Boon Affixes, with the release of Mythic 21-30. Boon Affixes are obtained from the Mythical Boons found within all Mythic + Levels. These Boon Crystals give you a super powerful but consumable item that grants you a temporary buff that empowers your entire party. Mythical Boons are not located within normally treaded paths in the Mythic+ instances. With these locations that shuffle it will indeed shuffle your normal everyday mythic+ route. Some Mythical Boon Affixes: > This Mythical Boon empowers your party. Increasing all damage and healing done by 20% for 30 seconds. > This Mythical Boon empowers your party. Granting you a mythical shield that repels against any enemy that dares come close. This shield lasts for 5 seconds and deals astronomical damage. > This Mythical Boon empowers your party.
