Ascension Changelog

Changed the tooltip of Blood Craze to clarify that the enrage needs to be active when the effect triggers.

[Pending Restart] You can no longer resurrect yourself via Reincarnation or Soulstone while in High-Risk.

[Blackrock Depths] Pending Restart - Direbrew Remote Control can no longer be used inside buildings and enclosed dungeons.

[Follow Up Changelog]: With the Hasty RE rework it will also cause abilities like Demolisher and abilities transformed from other abilities to always work & update said tooltip and function with addons.

Drastically reduced the base spawn timer of some mobs required for Felforged Quests from 15 minutes to 5 minutes.

Polished and thoroughly spreaded density of mobs (where some hidden areas were super dense with mobs) to make some popular areas in Felforged more dense in mobs for quests, so you know you can find action.

Added Dynamic Respawning to ALL mobs required in Felforged Quests.

Fixed an issue where Missile Barrage (random enchantment) would desync and no longer increase the chance to proc Missile Barrage through Starfire & Moonfire.

Fixed an issue where Decimation (under certain circumstances) would fail to benefit from Backdraft & Decimation cast time & global cooldown reduction simultaneously.

Fixed an issue in the spell priority que system for Maelstrom Weapon. Maelstrom weapon would consume other cast time buffs (such as Flame Throwing and Flash Freeze) when casted through 5 stacks of maelstrom weapon for their respective elements. Additionally, when you have 4 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon, the cast time modifiers from Flame Throwing and Flash Freeze will stack to Maelstrom Weapons cast time modifier making the spell cast instant.

The Scarab Lord Quest Chain will no longer reset on Prestige. Your quest log will still be cleared, but you can now go to the quest giver for the quest that you were previously on to continue your progress right where you left off.

[Pending Restart] Reworked all "Hasty" Random Enchantments and removed the old implementation. The new implementation will allow for these Random Enchantments to properly update the tooltip & also allow addons to show the reduced cooldown reduction (weakauras) etc.

This change has been live for relatively 36 hours but seemed to have gone missing from our changelog. [Alar] Fixed an issue in draft logic that caused talented abilities such as Blessing of Sanctuary far too often. Overall this logic switch should cause other talented abilities to show up more often.

[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed an issue where certain passwords would fail to save properly on the login screen. Saved login screen passwords should now always work.

[Alar] You are now able to find gear from Mythic0 inside of your Prestigious Cache.

[Alar] Frostbolt now deals 15% less damage vs players, changed from 10%. (Correction of previous changelog entry.)

[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed the pet action bar not showing.

[Requires Launcher Update] The totem bar is now visible even when you have stances or forms learned.

[Pending Restart] Fixed an issue where Wild Felfire would not dispel shields when triggered by Chaos Meteor. (Chaos Meteor still only triggers Wild Felfire and its shield dispel once, even if several targets are hit.)

Fixed an issue where Hibernate (Hypnosis) was temporarily available on Alar. It's no longer possible to use the spell.

[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed being unable to right click to withdraw items out of your personal bank.

[Pending Restart] Water Bolt from Water Elemental now deals 20% less damage versus players, changed from 15%.

[Pending Restart] Water Bolt from Water Elemental now has double the spell power scaling (it scales from the spell power of the Water Elemental).

Increased the threat of players in Defensive Stance or Bear Form by 15% for Area52 and 20% for Al'ar as a result of the recent player poll. More tank changes will follow in a future update!

[High-Risk] Arms Dealer Daily Quests requiring Rare Craftables now grant 2500 Marks of Ascension from 1000 to place the rewards inline with the Rare ingredient daily quests and increase the value of HR farming and crafting.

[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed issue related to duplicate entries for Zone IDs causing addons such as Carbonite and QuestHelper to break. (QuestHelper will still require a version edited for ascension)

[Pending Restart] Natural Perfection now lasts for 10 sec, changed from 8.

[Pending Restart] Focused Will now lasts for 10 sec, changed from 8.

Extension regarding Fierce Blow changes: Creatures that have a magic damage school instead of physical damage on their auto attacks have a much lower base damage then the classic physical damaging creature to account the damage reduction from armor being missing. However this creatures also use Fierce Blow. Since the base damage of this creatures is reduced, their Fierce Blows dealt much less damage then the once from physical damaging creatures as their Fierce Blows are still getting reduced by armor and reduced this creatures overall damage rather then keeping it constant. With recent changes to Fierce Blow inheriting the creatures spell school, the damage will now be equal to this creatures auto attacks. This insures that Fierce Blow still serves its purpose of supressing high avoidance stacking builds and allowing a creature to not have all of its damage be nullified by extreme parry and dodge values for creatures that use a different spell school as physical.

[Ascension Creature Abilities] Corrected an issue where Corpse Explosion would share damage between pets and totems. Damage is now only shared between player.
