General

Change

Fixed a bug where Dark Apotheosis Immolation Aura had no defined spell scaling causing it to scale improperly. This bug fix comes with a 50% increase to its threat generation.

Change

Added new ability that is learned automatically to Dark Apotheosis. Demon Claws consumes rage to attack with both weapons for damage. This is intended to help those who don't have a spammable in wildcard and provide extra incentive for Dual wield for those using physical in this form.

2023/12/16

General

Change

Fixed an issue where Adventure Mode characters could enter High-Risk and get quest credit from unscaled mobs on scaled quests.

Change

Removed Critters from Manastorm randomization, because it would cause some creatures to become critters like the mobs in the BFD fire event, so you'd just have a critter sitting in the corner but you'd think the event was bugged, but really you just had to kill a bug.
