- Stealth now applies some of the same tech as Fade Cloak, this should make you a lot safer while stealthed and allow for better positioning

- Necromancer's DoTs can now crit

- Warcry cannot be interrupted on startup anymore

- I made some very minor performance tweaks to the Virtuoso, hoping it will at least alleviate some of the frame strain caused by jamming the notes very quickly

- Evasion passive from 5% to 10%

- Stacking Crit passives from 1% to 2%

- Little Knight Music scales with weapon damage (instead of level)

- Fortifying Arpeggio scales with weapon damage (instead of level)

- Mark of the Riff scales with weapon damage (instead of level)

Does this apply to all versions or only upgraded one? 

 

Thx for information btw.

Didn't see this coming at all...very excited to play more aggressively with the assassin now.

Forgot about those, thanks! I probably did some other stuff too, I apparently sometimes just sneak in awesome things when I'm not looking...

You don't get hit by anything, can walk through enemies, can't get hit by magic either. I think you can get hit by DoT though

To whoever asked about archers targeting you: You're immune to projectiles (they pass through you), so it's not really a problem with "I was never here"

That necromancer dot crit is going to make her very very fun.

Can we get clarification on how many new items (non rings) are available through chests, and which ones are exclusive to Dragons?

I wrote that list from memory. In beta it's 200%, so good to know it didn't carry over.

Added those three scale changes, as for those nerfs I believe that's just a byproduct of the beta server not having the appropriate overrides that the live servers do. As far as I remember I didn't directly touch those 4 abilities.

Any chance of an ice armor fix? I'd like to give the necro a go but it's too unpredictable in it's current state
