[Serpentshrine Cavern] The following changes are made in reaction to the recent resistance changes.

[Mythic+] Pending Restarts - Creature Affix - Necrotic - Necrosis now has a 2 seconds internal cooldown per caster.

[Mythic+] Pending Restarts - Creature Affix - Necrotic - Clarification regarding blocked attacks. Necrosis will apply on partially blocked attacks, Necrosis will not apply on fully blocked attacks. Necrosis previously applying to fully blocked attacks was caused in conjunction with absorb effects.

[Mythic+] Pending Restarts - Creature Affix - Necrotic - Corrected an issue where Necrotic was always applied if the creatures attack was absorbed or partially absorbed.

[Mythic+] Pending Restarts - Creature Affix - Necrotic - Necrotic now requires the casting creature to inflict damage with its attack in order to apply Necrosis. This will prevent unavoidable status effects such as Sunder Armor to apply stacks.

[Mythic+] Pending Restarts - Reduced the health scaling per Mythic Level for all creatures by 2%. Creatures will now reach the health value of previous Mythic 10 at Mythic 13.

[Alar] Locust Shot now deals 25% less damage versus players, changed from 20%.

[Alar] Chimera Shot - Serpent now deals 30% less damage versus players, changed from 25%.

[Pending Restart] Overflow no longer heals the lowest percent health ally but instead a random ally. The heal amount based on Healing Touch has been increased to 30%, changed from 20%. It will now correctly heal a nearby ally based on the position of the target healed rather then the caster. (The smart heal was reverted as it was causing these issues. We are still looking into a solution to make it work as it should with the smart heal, but we wanted to push something to make it feel better to use now.)

[Pending Restart] Stormborn now deals 33% increased damage!

[Pending Restart] Chaos Meteor now also triggers Wild Felfire, Chaos Manifesting and Controlled Burn.

Crusader III now has a PPM of 1.35 from 1.2 (which Crusader I has)

Crusader II now has a PPM of 1.3 from 1.2 (which Crusader I has)

Crusader II and Crusader III will follow the proc values & conditions of Crusader now, changing them to PPM based instead of % hit based with an ICD. This should drastically increase the value for single 2 handed builds of these enchants. This change also makes Crusader II and Crusader III worth going for over Crusader.

[Auction House] Fixed an issue where you sometimes could not click on items, only able to click on their icon. This requires a patch update.

[Mythic+] Mythic+ Gear Upgrader costs have been "rounded" to multiples of 5. This means you will never end up with a random amount of mythic coins.
