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%11%)
