Version history

Version Changes

  • Undocumented:
    • Deflection now grants 5% chance to block attack damage while holding a shield (up from 4%)
    • Deflection now grants 25% chance to gain an Endurance Charge when you Block
    • Deflection no longer grants +4% Chance to Block Spell Damage while holding a Shield
    • Deflection no longer grants 40% increased Defences from Equipped Shield
    • Deflection no longer grants +8% Chance to Block Projectile Attack Damage
  • Due to the sweeping changes made to the passive tree, existing Anointments that apply to a Notable that has been removed will now apply a different Notable. We've also taken this opportunity to review the Oil combinations required for Notables.
