Shadow of Demise now deals 75% of the damage that triggered it as a 5-second Damage over Time (DoT) effect.
When Shadow of Demise ends, it now deals 75% of the damage dealt over its duration, increased from 50%. However, this value is now calculated based on mitigated damage, rather than damage before mitigation. As a result, compared to before, Shadow of Demise deals less damage against enemies with high damage reduction, and more damage against enemies with low damage reduction.
Shadowborn: This feat now provides a bonus of 7/14/21/28/35% on your next strike after stealth, increased from 5/10/15/20/25%.
Smoke Bomb: This power's CC now works with diminishing returns in PvP.
Enchantments and Enhancements
In an effort to make weapon enchantments simpler to understand and to make their tooltips more accurate, we've updated the damage values of certain weapon enchantments.
Weapon enchantments that added additional percentages of damage to a player's attacks have been adjusted to match their tooltips.
Many weapon enchantment damage percentages had been modified by the speed of the power.
This modifier has been removed, and the net result should be negligible or a slight increase in some cases for these weapon enchantments.
Affected enchantments include: Terror, Lightning, Lifedrinker, Holy Avenger, Frost, Flaming, Feytouched, Dread, Bronzewood and Bilethorn.
Thunderhead Enchantment: Stun duration changed to be 2.5 seconds for ranks 7/8/9/10/11.
Thunderhead Enchantment: Stun duration changed to 3 seconds for ranks 12/13.
Thunderhead Enchantment: Rank 13 has had its chance to proc increased to 55% (up from 50%).
Thunderhead Enchantment: Fixed an issue where the Sparks portion of Ranks 11/12/13 did not properly have an Internal Cooldown.
Thunderhead Enchantment: Internal Cooldown of Sparks reduced to 2 seconds (down from 10 seconds).
Thunderhead Enchantment: Fixed an issue where this could proc multiple times in a row.
Thunderhead Enchantment: Fixed an issue where this could deal damage twice to enemies in close proximity.
Item PowersBatiri Shaman Mask: This item's effect now has a 100% chance to trigger and has an internal cooldown of 3 minutes.
