Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	Introduce "Spell Suppression" on Evasion items as well the Dexterity section of the Passive Skill Tree, which gives a chance to halve spell damage taken. The chance can be stacked up to 100%. Convert existing sources of Dodge and Spell Dodge to Spell Suppression or replace them with other bonuses. Alder Spiked Shield now has +3% chance to Suppress Spell Damage implicit. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.] Remove irrelevant modifiers from Shields and add some really powerful ones. (See version 3.16.0 § Core Character Defences and Recovery section for full list.) Base Types are now generated with a random 0-15% (on average) higher base defence, as an inbuilt property. This means that all base types can be better than they are, and armour base types are not homogeneous any more. Alder Spiked Shield now has 209-240 evasion rating (up from 209), 43-49 Energy Shield (up from 41). [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.] Introduced the Sacred OrbSacred OrbStack Size: 10Randomises the numeric values of base defences on an armourRight click this item then left click an armour to apply it., a currency item that randomises the numeric values of the base defences on armour.
3.0.0	Energy Shield as a defensive mechanic has undergone a review and, generally speaking, all sources of Energy Shield on items have been reduced by approximately 20%. Because of Armour/Energy Shield and Evasion/Energy Shield equipment, we've had to apply this change to the local percentage modifiers on all other armour types as well. To compensate, all inherent values of base Armour and Evasion Rating on equipment are now greater at higher item levels. (See version 3.0.0 § Item Balance for full text) Alder Spiked Shield now has 209 evasion rating (up from 182) and 41 energy shield (down from 53). Existing items also affected by these changes. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.] The following changes CANNOT be obtained by rerolling the item's implicit with a Blessed Orb and will only appear on new versions of these items: The implicits of hybrid Dexterity/Intelligence shields have been reworked. They now grant either Chance to Dodge Attacks or Chance to Dodge Spells.
2.0.2	Fixed various typos with the line of Spiked Shields, the Alloyed, Burnished and Alder Spike Shields are now Spiked Shields.
1.3.0	Block Chance has been reduced from 26% to 24%.
Before 0.10.0	Introduced to the game.
