Journal de Mise à Jour d'Ascension

Fixed a bug where Elementium Arrow s and Bullets were not stacking up to 9,999.

Fixed Chromaggus’ Chromatic Adaptations causing mixed-school spells to be both increased and reduced at the same time. For example: Chaos Bolt, Shadowburn, Frostfire Bolt, Elemental Blast, The Absolute Zero Fist Weapn Set, etc would be increased via the damage done, but then also reduced by the 20% of the other element that they deal.

Fixed a bug Where Arcane Empowerment wasn't increasing the Healing of Arcane Mending and Arcane Resonance.

Meteor and Shards of Magic now stop triggering while players are dead, outside the Manastorm, still entering, or protected by the Manastorm safety bubble.

Fixed Shards of Magic - They now preserve their original ground location instead of retargeting directly ontop of you every tick.

Fixed Shards of Magic - They now preserve their original ground location instead of retargeting directly ontop of you every tick.

Fixed the Manastorm Meteor affix so meteors now correctly land at the affected player’s position instead of misfiring always landing on the player.

Missile Barrage and Pushing the Limit will now work with Arcane Resonance instead of just arcane missiles.

Arcane Resonance healing from Missile Barrage now uses the current target instead of the caster to find closest allies. This heals allies within 30 yds of the target.

Fixed an issue where Nefarian’s gauntlet summons were not being tracked correctly and would re-appear in the next attempt if you did not kill them.

The Raider's Commendation vendor and High Risk drops have been updated! They now have the NEW items from BWL and the new items from the boss.

[Necromancer] Permafrost now lasts for 12 seconds up from 6 seconds and has an activation overlay visual.

[Necromancer] Deathly Chill now also reduces cast time.

Developer's Note: While we want thorns effects to exist, there was some disparity in their strength. Razorice was strictly better at most level brackets, and since they are grouped together, Bloodthorns was never usable. In general as well, the free damage granted by thorns analogues was just a little higher than we would like to see from a completely passive form of damage. For these reasons, they have been brought down, with Razorice brought down a bit more than Bloodthorns as it was outpacing it at all brackets. This only touched base values, scaling remains as it was to still allow gear to make a meaningful impact.

[Felsworn] Demonic Embrace now requires 6 Felfury up from 2, but now restores additional energy

Note: Although further ranks are not available until next bracket, upon review the rank pacing was all over the place on this spell, so ranks have been delayed and value adjusted to make up for the new level. Rank pacing was 32/36/46/56, will now be 32/40/48/56, a steady 8 levels between each rank to ensure consistent pacing and value gains.

[Pending Restart] - [Bloodmage] - Blood Veil (Rank 3) - Absorb increased by 7.2%. This rank is available at level 48, was 46.

[Pending Restart] - [Bloodmage] - Blood Veil (Rank 2) - Absorb increased by 18.1%. This rank is now available at level 40, was 36.

[Pending Restart] - Miniautre Cannon Balls and Doomshot are now Green Quality, meaning they no longer show a pop-up confirmation box when hitting need.

[Pending Restart] - Chromaggus (Insert Element) Adaptations now increase damage by 125% and decrease damage taken by 20% from 100/25% respectively. The reason for this change is because most attempts you would not complete an even amount of cycles through the debuffs, making it a pure DPS downgrade on an already movement heavy fight.

[Pending Restart] - Chromaggus is now Vulnerable to Holy Damage. This value is similar to the amount of Frost Damage taken increase that Baron Geddon has. The intention for this is that Chromaggus cycles every element periodically and is susceptible to that type of magic damage, but never Holy Damage.
