[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Corrected an issue where Telonicus's Fragmentation Bomb would determine a target was hit when it was cast rather than when it landed. Players can now blink or outrun Fragmentation Bombs.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Telonicus is now significantly better at shooting and handling a gun, no longer switching to his dagger inbetween shots.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Master Engineer Telonicus no longer awkwardly backsteps in a spinning rotation when his primary target gets too close. This behavior has been corrected (for real this time).

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Thaladred now has a single charge of his Charge ability, which he uses when his chase target is more than 20 yards away. He gains a new charge each time he selects a new target for his gaze.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Thaladred no longer auto-attacks. Instead, he now casts Mortal Rend continuously when his target is within melee range.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Greatly improved Thaladred the Darkener's chase movement and target selection.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Corrected an issue where Capernian's Conflagrate would determine a target was hit when it was cast rather than when it landed. It is now possible to blink through Conflagrate.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Capernian's Conflagrate now removes all threat from targets hit. Conflagrate now has a 12-second cooldown, up from 10 seconds.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Capernian no longer casts Blast Wave on a cooldown. Instead, she will cast Blast Wave instead of Fireball whenever her primary target gets too close.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Kael'thas Sunstrider]: Grand Astromancer Capernian can now cast all her spells while moving. However, she will prefer to keep a distance from her primary target.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [High Astromancer Solarian]: Solarian can now cast Fierce Shadow Strikes in addition to her normal Shadow Strikes.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [High Astromancer Solarian]: Increased Solarian's hitbox size by 100% while in Voidform.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [High Astromancer Solarian]: Corrected an issue where High Astromancer Solarian's Disrupting Void had a much smaller radius than its visual effect.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Void Reaver]: Corrected an issue where Void Reaver dealt slightly more damage and took slightly less damage than intended.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Void Reaver]: Corrected an issue where Proximity Mines had a smaller explosion radius than their detection radius, effectively preventing them from hitting targets just by walking nearby.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Void Reaver]: The Emergency Enemy Elimination Engine (E.E.E.E) has been updated. Void Reaver no longer enters Berserk when the E.E.E.E buff runs out. Instead, Void Reaver now uses an alternate Power Bar and will enter Berserk when his power is fully depleted. He begins combat with 120 power and loses power steadily over time. If his power reaches 0, he enters Berserk. Activating a Control Crystal will recharge Void Reaver with an additional 120 power. Fox context - Previously the Berserker timer would reset, now time is added.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Al'ar]: Corrected an issue where Blazing Wings would fail to increase movement speed while flying.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Al'ar]: Corrected an issue where Al'ar would revert to his Phoenix form too early after casting Dive Bomb.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Al'ar]: Al'ar can now cast Fierce Fire Strikes in addition to his normal Fire Strikes.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Al'ar]: Al'ar's attack speed has been increased to 1.3 seconds, down from 2 seconds.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Al'ar]: Corrected an issue where Al'ar would remain stuck in his hover animation and fail to play other animations.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [Al'ar]: Corrected an issue where Al'ar would sometimes actually die instead of pretending to die as intended.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [All Bosses]: Corrected multiple issues where spells ignored damage modifiers or lacked a damage type category. All spells used by bosses and their summons are now properly categorized and will scale with appropriate modifiers such as resistances, percentage modifiers, etc.

[Pending Restart] [The Eye] [All Bosses]: All bosses inside The Eye can now intelligently select targets for their spells and abilities, distinguishing between tanks, healers, and DPS players.
