Release Notes

Content and Environment
Queues
  • Players no longer need higher than intended armor penetration for Chult and Ravenloft. This was caused by an old buff that was still in place by accident in M16. Thank you for the reports.
  • Temple of Tiamat
    • Tiamat’s aura will work now when she has emerged.
    • Fixed facing issues with summoners and Severen.
    • Severen uses new splats with meteor powers.
  • Tomb of the Nine Gods Epic
    • Changed the Order of the puzzles to is intended sequence.
  • Castle Ravenloft.
    • Adjustments have been made to the damage of Strahd's attacks. The damage dealt by the following powers has been reduced: ardor, zornhau, lunge, shadowcrash, engarde, and bloodflight. Strahd's auto attack damage has also been decreased.
    • The damage dealt by the Sunsword has been reduced.
    • The magnitude is now clearly displayed on the tooltips of the Sunsword's powers.
    • The heal effect of the Sunsword encounter power "Daybreak" has been increased.
    • Resolved an issue wherein the Sunsword encounter "Sunbeam" did not deal damage for the full length of its charge.
    • Strahd no longer pushes players who are immune to control resist with lunge during his ultimate phase.
    • The health of the shades imprisoning your ally during the nightmare phase of Strahd's boss encounter has been reduced.
    • Resolved an issue wherein the damage dealt by the Executioner's Guillotine during the nightmare phase of Strahd's boss encounter was not lethal.
    • Resolved an issue wherein shades of your party dealt 0 damage during the nightmare phase of Strahd's boss encounter.
  • Lair of the Mad Mage
    Trobriand
    • Matching charged players are still repelled away from one another, but may now stand as close as together without punishment.
    • Magnetic discharge now only deals damage when players with opposing charges collide.
    • The distance that magnetic discharge pushes and pulls players has been reduced.
    • The potency and duration of the negative condition applied by magnetic discharge has been increased.
    • The damage dealt by the electric coils on the floor of Trobriand's room has been increased.
Combat and Powers
Classes and Balance

Fighter (Vanguard)
  • Shieldthrower no longer lowers the magnitude of Shield Throw to 150, instead of the indicated 250.
  • Knee Breaker now auto slots on hitting level 5.
Fighter (Dreadnought)
  • Momentum no longer requires the player to be moving to gain the effect of Bull Charge.
  • Heavy Slash tooltip incorrectly indicated a magnitude of 100. The actual magnitude has been and will remain 80, the tooltip will be updated to match.
  • Heavier Slash when under the effect of the feat's proc., Heavy Slash would deal damage twice, once for 280 magnitude and once for 80 magnitude. The power now only deals the expected 280 magnitude damage.
  • Commander's Strike did not properly benefit from effects enhancing physical damage.
  • Commander's Strike erroneously indicated it increased the target's damage taken by 5%, the actual increase is 10%.
Paladin
  • Radiant Strike has been renamed Radiant Slam to more accurately describe the attack and set it apart from other more similar at-wills using the term Strike.
Paladin (Justicar)
  • Divine Challenger did not cause Smite to place the caster at the top of the target's threat list as indicated.
Warlock
  • Warlock's Bargain was only cleansing allies and not the caster, it should now also cleanse the caster.

    Please remember to change the "Radiant Slam" artifact power boost name so that it suports the newly named at-will

    I like the change to Warlock's Bargain. I felt it was odd for them to not be able to cleanse themselves. However, I was hoping for more work to Tiamat. I've run it twice so far, and both times we were only able to kill one head in the 5 minutes. Maybe if it were 5 minutes PER head, or just reduce the damage of the Green one, it might be possible. Maybe it's not even 5 minutes, that's just what we had left after the other phases...

    Still getting frequent disconnects while transferring to Master Expeditions, or party members split into different instances when returning from one.

    some nice fixes...good....would have expected to see the missing shirts/pants and a change to alabaster drop rate, as those were mentioned as being fixed internally.

    tiamat is a " he " :o

    Yes, He is Queen Tiamat. Male dragon lays the egg while female nurse their hatchling. One big happy family. While human female bear and nurse children, human male venture out to seek other female. Jerk. Anyway, world is ending and nothing makes sense.

    Won't say anymore, because here we got less freedom of speech than communist Russia and the holy inquisition have an eye on me.

    and a few fanboys/snitches too so better watch out for those.

    Please take a look at the responsiveness of Fireball on tab for thaumaturges wizard. Often times it doesn't even fire off at all. Feels akin to the old bane not firing, trying to target allies on protector paladin pre mod 16. Thanks.
  • evemjevemj Member Posts: 142 Arc User
    Yeah, quite a few powers have an AoE, but target a specific enemy. Annoying how the attack behaves if the enemy is killed mid animation.
    I'd be fine with Searing Javelin getting an AoE shaped like a rectangle and Fireball firing even if the enemy is dead.

    Also if fireball fires if enemy is dead, it should leave an area of fire on the ground like cleric's flamestrike.

    Release Notes


    Fighter (Dreadnought)

    Heavy Slash tooltip incorrectly indicated a magnitude of 100. The actual magnitude has been and will remain 80, the tooltip will be updated to match.

    Given the sub-par DPS of the Dreadnought, perhaps leaving the tooltip and adjusting Heavy Strike to magnitude 100 would have been a better solution here ...

    if you are using shift key to speed up forward and get caught in a runic trap, you can't avoid it, its a trap, feel it like it is a big deep hole on the floor when it activates and you fell inside of it and you take time to get up ready to move on, best way is to walk normally and when you see it activate press shift key and run away from it, so you dont get caught, works on my wiz, rogue, warlock and cleric.

    It never works on my warlock (and it never works for barbarian friends either)--> "dash-run" classes.
    In parallel, I have no problem on my "dodge" or "block" classes whether or not they were shifting before stepping on the trap.

    By the way, since the patch note dated 22th of March, I am waiting for "Vampiric Embrace now properly spawns a soul puppet."

    Given how little damage the ole Radiant "Slam" does in Mod 16 you might as well call it to Radiant Tap. :/
