• Headpieces in the Thorvukan and Zaan sets are now Bind on Pickup Tradeable, as intended.

Achievements

• Fungi Free: This achievement is now awarded for defeating the Cadaverous Menagerie without anyone in your group taking damage from Volatile Fungi in Veteran Fang Lair.
• Watch Your Step: This achievement now requires you to defeat Matriarch Aldis without any member of your group taking damage from the water that surrounds her during the fight in Veteran Scalecaller Peak.

Morrowind Fixes & Improvements

Alliance War & PVP

Battlegrounds

• Reduced the rewards for finishing in second place to 10000 AP, and third place to 7000 AP.

Combat & Gameplay

Combat Balance

General

• The "Resurrect Ally" ability can now always be interrupted, even if the enemy player has crowd-control immunity.

Dragonknight

• Ardent Flame
  • Flame Lash (Lava Whip morph): The Power Lash attack from this morph now has a 3 second cooldown.
  • Lava Whip: This ability and its morphs no longer have a cooldown when they can set the enemy target Off Balance. Striking a stunned or immobile enemy will always set them Off Balance.

Nightblade

• Assassination
  • Grim Focus: The stacks you build toward the bow proc for this ability and its morphs will now remain if you recast the ability early, or if the ability expires. The partial stack will be removed if you exit combat.
    • Known Issue: The bow proc will sometimes not play its distinct audio cue.
    • Developer Comment: This change makes the ability effectiveness more consistent among players of different skill levels. It still rewards more skilled play, but is less punishing when someone makes a mistake.
• Shadow
  • Shadow Image (Summon Shade morph): If you are further than 28 meters away from your shade, this morph will now revert back to allowing you to summon a new shade, rather than letting you attempt to teleport to the shade and fail.
• Siphoning
  • Malevolent Offering: Reduced the health cost of this ability and the Healthy Offering morph to 4925 from 6751.
  • Shrewd Offering (Malevolent Offering morph): Reduced the health cost of this morph to 4320 from 5940.
    • Known Issue: The tooltip still displays the old cost value.

Templar

• Aedric Spear
  • Puncturing Strikes: Increased the width of the damage area of this ability and its morphs by 1 meter. It now hits targets in an 8x6 rectangle in front of you (8 meters long, 6 meters wide), previously 8x5.
    • Developer Comment: This change will help Templars land jabs more consistently, particularly while strafing.

World

• Soul Magic
  • Soul Assault: This ability and its morphs no longer snare the enemy target.
    • Developer Comment: One of the main counters to channeled abilities is being able to break light of sight/out range the ability, which is extremely difficult when faced with a 70% snare.

Combat Fixes & Improvements

General

• Fixed an issue where you could maintain the Off Balance debuff against boss enemies indefinitely.
• Fixed an issue where the Health Recovery reduction from Major and Minor Defile was not reducing Health Recovery increases from some sources, such as drink buffs or the Troll King Item Set.

Dragonknight

• Ardent Flame
  • Flame Lash (Lava Whip morph): Fixed an issue where the Power Lash attack from this morph could not be dodged.
• Draconic Power
  • Reflective Scale: Fixed an issue where recasting this ability and its morphs would not refresh the amount of projectile reflections allowed.
• Earthen Heart
  • Ash Cloud: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could sometimes expire early, causing you to miss the final tick of damage.

Nightblade

• Shadow
  • Shadow Image (Summon Shade moprh): Fixed an issue where teleporting or attempting to teleport to your shade would cause you to lose some character functionality, such as the ability to mount or interact with objects.

Templar

• Aedric Spear
  • Puncturing Strikes:
    • Fixed an issue where the damage done to the primary target from this ability and its morphs was slightly lower than intended.
    • Fixed an issue where the spear thrust animation and the impact sounds from this ability and its morphs were not visually aligned.
    • Puncturing Sweep (Puncturing Strikes morph): Fixed an issue where this morph was not healing the caster.

Itemization Balance

Item Sets

• Caluurion's Legacy: This Item Set's proc now spawns the lich shoulder visual immediately, but has a 1 second delay before it fires the projectile at the enemy target.
  • Developer Comment: This will telegraph the incoming damage burst from the set so enemies have time to respond.
• Plague Slinger:
  • The Skeever corpse summoned by this Item Set's proc now lasts 4 seconds, down from 6 seconds, but it now fires projectiles at enemies every 1 second, down from 1.5 seconds.
  • Increased the speed of the projectile fired from this Item Set's proc by 50%.
    • Developer Comment: This set was a bit too easy to avoid, so we've increased the speed at which it delivers its damage.
• Seventh Legion Brute: This Item Set's proc now has a 2 second cooldown.
  • Developer Comment: This set was scaling too effectively when fighting more than one opponent; the short cooldown brings the set more in line with what was originally intended.
• Zaan:
  • This Item Set's proc now occurs on any Light or Heavy Attack, instead of only critical strikes with Light or Heavy Attacks, but the proc chance has been reduced to 20% from 100%.
  • Increased the cooldown of this Item Set's proc to 18 seconds from 15 seconds.
    • Developer Comment: This monster set was over performing - by reducing both the reliability and uptime of the proc, these changes bring the overall DPS of this set more in-line with other Monster sets.

Itemization Fixes & Balance

Item Sets

• Grand Rejuvenation: Fixed an issue where the Stamina restore from this Item Set's proc was not centered on the Grand Healing cast.
• Plague Slinger: Fixed an issue where the projectiles fired from this Item Set's proc were removing enemies from stealth or invisibility.

Base Game Fixes & Improvements

Alliance War & PVP

General

• Slightly increased the Forward Camp deployment radius to prevent placement on inner Keep structures.
• Slightly increased the Forward Camp deployment angle checks to allow for more forgiving placement on terrain.

Itemization

• Consolidated the armor rewards for winning a 30-day campaign into a single "Champion's Cache" container. This also resolves the issue where you would sometimes see a question mark as the 7th reward item in your mail.

Art & Animation

Figure

• Kneepads no longer float when female characters equip the Silken Ring boots.
• The Emperor's Regalia Costume has been reverted to its original state.

Animation

• Master Writ Vendor Faustina Curio now holds the scroll in her hands correctly.

• Fixed an issue where the gold in your personal bank or guild bank could appear when viewing the contents of a storage furnishing.

• Dawn of the Exalted Viper: Regnet Cassipia will no longer be hanging around outside of Serpent's Nest after the events of this quest.
