Ascension Changelog

Fixed an issue where the Arcane Elementals, Fireguard Destroyers and Shadowcasters in Mythic Dungeons were dealing far too much damage in Mythic0. Additionally these three NPCs in particular suffered from a rare bug where they were being "double scaled" from the Mythic+ difficulty increases causing them to deal much higher damage than intended in Mythic+.

Fixed an issue where Improved Consecration debuff would stack with other similar debuffs.

Correct the stats of the Heroic, Normal, and Bloodforged version of; Bonespike Shoulder, Breakwater Legguards, Magically Sealed Bracers, Petrified Bark Shield, Unsophisticated Hand Cannon, Mud Stained Boots, Flattened Elven Ring, Gordok Knuckleband and Oversimplified Stick Chucker to match the stat tweaks done to these items in Mythic Plus

[Pending Restart] Reduced the mana cost of Devour Mind by approximately 40%, it will now have a similar mana cost to other single target channel type spells.

[Pending Restart] - The Four Following Lesser REs will become available with the next restart: Lesser Rain of Fire, Lesser Volley, Lesser Healing Touch, Lesser Holy Light.
