[New Legendary Enchant]: Blood and Guts - Transforms your Eviscerate into Eviscerate (Disembowel), a finishing move that uses a Dagger to make a swift incision, causing your target to take bleed damage over 6 seconds. This damage scales with modifiers to Eviscerate and can critically strike. Your Mutilate deals bonus damage against Disemboweled targets. Casting Execute attempts to finish the target off, dealing bonus damage and triggering Remorseless Attacks (if known).

[New Legendary Enchant]: Tidecaller - Your Healing Wave heals for 25% more and applies 3 stacks of Tidecaller's Boon on the target. This effect increases the healing they take from your periodic Nature healing spells by 10% per stack, but reduces the healing they take from your Healing Wave by 5% per stack. Tidecaller's Boon stacks up to 15 times and your periodic Nature healing removes one stack.

[New Legendary Enchant]: Demolisher - Your Mortal Strike is transformed into Demolishing Strike, an ability that deals 130% weapon damage and scales with Mortal Strike modifiers. In addition, it demolishes the target's defenses, increasing the physical damage they take from your attacks by 1%. Demolish stacks up every time the target is critically hit in melee, and upon reaching 10 stacks empowers your next ability: Expose Armor: Reduces the targets' armor by an additional 10% and increases your armor penetration by 20% for 20 seconds. Riposte: Generates 2 additional combo points and slows the targets attack speed by an additional 10%. Mongoose Bite: Doesn't trigger its cooldown and is guaranteed to critically strike.

[New Epic Enchant]: Ward of Light - Taking critical damage from a spell has a chance to reset the cooldown of your Divine Storm. In addition, dealing damage with Divine Storm now dispels one magic effect from you.

[New Epic Enchant]: Into Darkness - Forms a strong bond with the Shadows, teaching you a stronger version of Vanish. This ability is useable while feared and will clear any fear effect on you and put a shield on you absorbing magic damage.

[New Legendary Enchant]: Fingers of Death - Your Fingers of Frost now also grants 2 stacks of Fingers of Death for 10 seconds, which causes your next Ice Lance to also launch a Shadow Lance. Shadow Lance hits grants a stack of Touch of Death 10 seconds, which increases the damage of your next Vampiric Touch by 75%, stacking 2 times. In addition, your Frostbolt now applies Dark Winter to the target for 15 seconds, stacking 3 times, causing you to deal 3% increased periodic Shadow damage to the target.

[New Epic Enchant]: Impending Doom - Your Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Death increase your Shadow periodic damage dealt to the target by 20%. This effect lasts for 3 ticks.

[New Epic Enchant]: In the Zone - When your Unfair Advantage deals damage to a player it also gives you a shield absorbing magic damage. The absorb value of this shield is tripled if Ghostly Strike is active. This effect can only occur once every 6 seconds and requires the final rank of Unfair Advantage.

[New Epic Enchant]: Punisher - Increases the critical strike chance of Riposte by 30%. When used on players, your Riposte triggers Unrelenting Assault. This effect can only occur once every 20 seconds and requires the final rank of Unrelenting Assault.

Righteous Flames has been reworked. The Legendary Mystic Enchant now has an additional mechanic: Each time you consume a charge this way, you will receive a stack of Righteous Flames, increasing the damage of your next Holy Fire by 5%, stacking up to five times. Upon reaching max stacks, your next Holy Fire will deal Radiant Damage and restore your Inner Fire to max charges. Radiant damage is a combination of the Fire and Holy schools, and will benefit from the highest modifier to either school.

[New Legendary Enchant]: Mana Fiend - Increases your Intellect by 30% and makes your Arcane direct damage spells replace your next auto-attack with an attack that consumes mana to deal Arcane damage. Dealing damage this way has a 50% chance to make you go into a Mana-crazed Delirium, increasing your spell power by 10% of your Intellect, stacking up every second. While active your Arcane spells cost no mana, but maintaining the effect prevents you from gaining mana from other sources and drains your mana every second. When you drop below 20% mana the Delirium ends. The mana drained is restored to you over 12 seconds as you come back to your senses.

[New Epic Enchant]: Arcane Displacement - Fully channeling Arcane Missiles on a target will trigger Arcane Displacement, instantly teleporting you behind them and striking them with your weapon dealing Arcane damage. This effect has a 15 second cooldown.
