- Necromancer's DoTs can now crit
- Warcry cannot be interrupted on startup anymore

- 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)

- 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
Does this apply to all versions or only upgraded one?
Thx for information btw.

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"

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.
