Ascension Changelog

[Chronomancer] Discovery now works with Wand of Time

[Pending Restart] - Spirestone Lord Magus will no longer be able to target who he deems as healers and tanks with their sleep. This sleep is now also interruptible (rare cases where it had immunity to kicks).

[Pending Restart] - Tsu'Zee will no longer be able to targets who she deems as tanks with her blind.

[Pending Restart] - Ribbly Screwspigot will no longer be able to targets who he deems as tanks with his gouge.

[Pending Restart] Sped up Respawn time of creatures in Frostwhisper Gorge by 25%.

[Pending Restart] - Reduced the Bonus (this is the additional health modifier that stacks multiplicatively with the health modifier of the instance level) health of Champions in Mythic+ by 10%.

[Pending Restart] - Added an additional boon in the last 6 rooms of Scholomance (you'll have to find this though)

[Pending Restart] - Added 2 second cast times for a handful of stuns from creatures in BRD and Blackrock Spire. These stun casts can be moved away from, can be stunned themselves or knocked away and will prevent the stun from going off.

[Pending Restart] - The Knockback from arcane shock from the arcane elementals patrolling around Immol'thar's corridor has been reduced by 60% and happens 33% less often. (If you were solo, it was impossible to connect without one or more gap closers). This knockback was just too far egregious.

[Pending Restart] - Increased the Timer of Dire Maul: West and Blackrock Depths: Prison by 5 minutes. With the new mechanics added to mythic this Season, it definitely had an impact on the speed of which heroes could clear the instance. This should make the timer feel more aligned with the other dungeons.

[Pending Restart] - [Thrall] - Mythic Levels of 11 to 20 power scaling has been curved to be less exponential with the release of Mythic21-30 on average, this is a 24% decrease to damage, health, and healing done via creatures and bosses inside. This percentage and then some is made up in the difficulty of 21-30.

[Chronomancer] Issue where Artillery Wand was not increasing Wand of Time range has been fixed.

Changed Start location in LFG Sunken Temple to make it one level that only requires Jammalan and Eranikus. This is format it more closely to other LFG dungeons and prepare to split it into multiple LFG queues in the future.

[Ascension DB] Spell details (scaling section) will now specify whether the spell uses ranged attack power for its scaling/cofficient. Note: The scaling was already being displayed before, but it would refer to it as attack power rather than ranged attack power.

[Cauterizing Flames] Cauterizing Fire will no longer benefit from range increasing effects since the base values are now equal to maximum available range. (Pending Restart)

[Cauterizing Flames] Increased the healing range of Cauterizing Fire. Ranks 6 and above will now have a base range of 36 yards against enemies and 40 yards against allies. Rank 6 is when range increasing talents for damaging spells become available.

Fixed issue allowing Spell and Mystic Enchant names to overflow the visual boundaries on Website Builder.

Corrective changelog entry regarding "Removed AE cost from Talent spells present on the builder to mimic in-game behavior." as pointed out, it was in fact Talent Essence (TE) cost that should be removed from these Talent Abilities. Not Ability Essence (AE). Apologies for the confusion, the website builder will reflect the correct value within an hour of this changelog going live. //Excl

[Pending Restart] [Ruins of Ahn'Qiraji] Finkle Einhorn decided to do a tactical reposition from his previous location into the room of Ossirian the Unscarred.

[Pending Restart] [Serpent Shrine] [Lady Vashj] Increased the initial timer for Sporebat spawns to 23 seconds up from 22. This extents the soft enrage time for Lady Vashjs final Phase by 23 seconds.
