Sea Dragon Helmet
- Movement penalty while underwater is halved. 🡹
- No longer has mining speed penalty while underwater. 🡹
- [Ability: Cleansing Pool]

- Flow State healing increased from 0.8 ➜ 1.0 (+25%)
Developer Notes (Click to show)
We decided to make the Sea Dragon feel more at home underwater by improving their mining speed and movement control while underwater. ~Dragon
Sea Dragon's healing felt a little underwhelming, so we slightly increased its base numbers to add more weight to its stand-alone HPS. ~Dummy
Angelic Axe
- Angelic Smite proc chance reduced from 1.5% ➜ 1% (-33%)
- Fixed an issue where Angelic Smite was not dealing damage to the entity that triggered the smite. 🡹
Developer Notes (Click to show)
Now that the Angelic Axe is being used more often in dungeons, we feel that Angelic Smite was going off a little more often than we'd like. We want it to feel like a rare and exciting moment when it happens, so we are reducing the proc chance in order to keep this item balanced in PvE content. ~Dragon
All Wands
- Added Looting III enchantment to all wands. 🡹
Infernal Wand
- Spell damage increased from 27 ➜ 30 (+11%)
