Hotfixes

JULY 29, 2021

Classes

  • Hunter
    • The silence effect from Rae’shalare, Death’s Whisper will now show an enemy nameplate UI debuff when an enemy is silenced by the ability.
    • Using Tar Trap on an enemy will no longer break the effects of Camouflage.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned

  • An anvil to repair your gear is now available at the start of each combat and boss floor.
  • Anima Powers
    • Hunter
      • Fixed an issue where the Deathdealer’s Scope anima power was not correctly enabling the use of Kill Shot when Flayed Shot (Venthyr Ability) was applied to and removed from your target.

Items and Rewards

  • Shards of Domination
    • Earlier this week, a change to the power of Shards of Domination set bonuses (e.g. Chaos Bane) was briefly applied to the live game. We are no longer planning to proceed with that change at all. We may make further adjustments in the coming days, but we will not reduce the power of Shards now that many players have earned and upgraded them.

There’s more included in the hotfix post(source link) related to other classes/covenants etc.

JULY 30, 2021

Items and Rewards

  • Shards of Domination
    • [With weekly maintenance in each region] Blood Link – The damage and healing amount has been increased at all ranks by 20%.
    • [With weekly maintenance in each region] Winds of Winter – The amount of damage and healing stored by the Winds has been increased at all ranks by ~45%.
      • Developers’ note: The difference between the three Rune Words for the Shards of Domination system is bigger than we want it to be. We have identified and fixed a bug in Winds of Winter which was preventing some damaging and healing abilities from counting towards its total, and we have retuned Winds of Winter and Blood Link so that the relative power between Rune Word bonuses is more balanced.

In short, instead of nerfing effects tied to shard set bonuses that were ahead of others, they decided to buff the ones that were behind.

I certainly hope no one got rid of their shards during that time.

Kinda seems like they are just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. Very frustrating.

I mean. I’m glad they fixed the interaction with target trap and camo finally lol.
