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 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

  • Added Looting III enchantment to all wands. 🡹

  • Spell damage increased from 27 ➜ 30 (+25%)

🧟 Dungeon Changes 🧟

Outpost

Ancient Digsite

Developer Notes (Click to show)

The health reduction is to compensate for the Repeater nerf and to slightly reduce the duration of the boss fight at higher difficulties, as this dungeon already takes enough time to finish as it is. In addition, we have boosted the base rare drop count to account for this dungeon being of much higher difficulty than other dungeons. ~Dragon
