Scribes of Fate DLC

Two New Dungeons

Bal Sunnar: A mysterious temporal anomaly has drawn the Psijic Order to the dark elf tower at Bal Sunnar. What is the cause of the disturbance, what are the implications to Tamriel, and why are the local Dunmer so fearful and hostile to those trying to help? Whatever the cause, temporal magic is dangerous and the Psijic Order must contain this anomaly no matter the cost.
Scrivener’s Hall: Under twisted new leadership, the scholars of the Scribes of Mora have transformed into an order of violent zealots. Will you assist the exiled former leader of the Scribes, help him infiltrate their conclave’s home in Scrivener’s Hall and put an end to the dangerous Valinna’s reign?
Bal Sunnar and Scrivener’s Hall are 4-player dungeons which can be reached via Stonefalls and The Rift respectively.
- Bal Sunnar’s entrance is in eastern Stonefalls. The entrance is south of Senie.
- Scrivener’s Hall’s entrance is located in the south of The Rift, west of the Smokefrost Peak Dolmen.
Both dungeons include a Normal version in addition to a challenging Veteran version. Each dungeon features challenging Hard Modes for each of their three boss encounters.
There are unique item sets to obtain including two new Undaunted Monster Mask sets, only available within the dungeons.

- Whether the placed item is coming from your Bank, Inventory, House Storage, or Collectibles
- Whether the furnishing is bound or unbound
- Which Furnishing Limit Type the furnishing falls under
While in combat with at least one training dummy, the Show Housing Panel keybind (default F5) now changes to Reset Training Dummies, which allows you to easily reset all training dummies you are in combat with.
The home’s current occupants are now listed in the Settings section of the Housing Editor. You can also kick occupants out of your home from this menu if they’ve overstayed their welcome.
The home’s occupants are notified when people enter or depart the home, via a message in the top right corner of the screen.

- The game’s startup and login flow are not currently narrated; you must log into the game first before narration will start.
- Gameplay such as combat, in-world navigation, and interactable objects are not narrated. Response options when interacting with NPCs are also not narrated. To ensure screen narration does not conflict with voice acting, character dialogue is not included in screen narration.

ZOS_GinaBruno · March 2023

While this first update of the year has quite a few bug fixes and minor tweaks, our main focus was on some iterative work from Update 35 and some long-time coming reworks to abilities or traits that had been languishing in weird states of balance for a while. This update is more targeted with its adjustments, rather than widespread, following through with some remnant work we’ve hinted at in the past.

The largest ‘widespread’ adjustment in this update is some iterative work on Update 35’s adjustments to Light Attacks. One of our main goals in Update 35 was to reduce the impact of Light Attack Weaving in terms of high-end damage production – where it was still a vital tool to incorporate – while simultaneously trying to shorten the delta between those who try and engage with it and those who are masters of it. Through the toils of that update we learned a lot, but had to make some compromises that hurt our overall goals where the end result was just a flat nerf to Light Attack weaving in general.

In this update, we’re trying to keep the power of Light Attacks within a ~5% deviation at their highest production in an optimized build, while drastically increasing their performance for players who aren’t super optimized. We’re also implementing a new feature on all damaging Light Attacks, where their scaling calculations of how they derive their damage will be inflated compared to before, with a cap in how much they can reach with base stats such as Weapon or Spell Damage, and Magicka or Stamina. This base damage cap will be 3850 for melee attacks and 90% of that for ranged attacks, which is within 100-200 damage deviation from the base damage of some of the highest parses we are seeing in game. Note that this “base damage cap” is NOT a cap in terms of how much damage they can do in general; this number is purely how much the damage can reach with your stats, such as Weapon or Spell Damage. This base damage cap will then feed into the rest of the combat calculation system with things such as Critical Bonuses, Damage Bonuses, Mitigation and so on, so that 3850 can still return a MUCH higher value in actual combat situations!

After going over the data that started to come in with U35 and U36, we’re confident that this functionality will help inject a little power to the players who struggle to perfectly weave by inflating their damage values a bit while not having too much of an impact on the high-end ceiling, so everyone’s DPS can either go up or stay around the same as it was from the previous updates!

Outside of this adjustment, we have some usual balance tweaks for sets and abilities, but two in particular stand out: First, we’ve reworked the Harmony trait to no longer be burst oriented and more about what the trait’s name and gameplay tries to incentivize – sustain and group coordination. This trait will now simply grant a chunk of Health, Magicka, and Stamina any time you activate a synergy, similarly to the Undaunted Mettle bonus. Another larger rework is for the infamous Mist Form skill in the Vampire skill line, as a result of all of the back-and-forth issues and balance changes we’ve seen with the skill’s evolution through the game’s history. With this rework, we tried to go back to the drawing board about what the fantasy and identity of the skill was trying to evoke, which is meant to be the iconic feeling of blinking into mist and avoiding attacks, dashing around from foe to foe and taking them down or avoiding damage in the process. In this update, Mist Form is no longer a toggled effect or one that reduces your damage while active or causing you to become immune to crowd control. Instead, it focuses on quick and liberating movement, causing you to quickly travel to your targeted location as a gap closer while simultaneously avoiding incoming projectiles while you do so.

Another area to note is some quality-of-life updates to abilities and functionalities for those who are the vanguard of combat, the lifeblood of success or failure – tanks! In this update we’ve made three changes that should hopefully help make those holding the line feel more empowered to do so. First, block will no longer temporarily drop while bar swapping and instead will stay active throughout, which should help reduce those moments in combat where you get clobbered by a Heavy Attack when trying to prepare yourself. The second is that taunt immunity or “over taunting” will now be harder to reach; it will take 5 applications of a taunt between two members in total before reaching, up from 3, which should give a bit more breathing room in multi-boss encounters.

Last but not least is a new iteration of the “soft taunt” system that pull abilities such as Fiery Grip or Silver Leash had. Instead of soft taunting enemies for 5 seconds like they did in the past, they will now attempt to normally taunt any enemy that is not already taunted. It is our hope that this interaction helps keep these abilities available to use as a tank or any other role for support, where tanks can control enemies more easily at the start of an engagement, while other roles can still use the skill for grouping up foes if their tank has already corralled enemy attention before using the skill. This will also apply to any single target application pull interaction, including item sets. Before you ask though, Area of Effect pulls like Dark Convergence, Rush of Agony, or Void Bash will *not* be affected by these changes.

Of course, this is by no means an exhaustive list, as we have a few smaller adjustments to some skills such as increasing the shield efficacy and scaling functions of Conjured Ward and its morphs for our Sorcerer lovers, some ability iterations on skills that grant Empower, and plenty of other number tweaks and bug fixes. Ah, and for you hybrid stat lovers out there, we have a small tweak to Physical and Spell Harm jewelry glyphs that many have been asking for.

Below, you can find the full list of combat adjustments and fixes in this update.

General

Fixed an issue where the stun from successful sneak attacks could trigger off other triggered events, such as item sets.
Fixed an issue where you could Bash and Light Attack simultaneously while using a gamepad.
Fixed an issue where ground targeted spells were canceled with a Light Attack during their targeting phase while using a gamepad.
- When attempting to Light or Heavy Attack on gamepad with a ground targeted reticle active, you will now confirm the ability activate instead, making these skills easier to use in a more fluid manner while weaving.
Fixed an issue where using block would not cancel sprint.
Updated the tooltips for following player passives to properly mention their scaling effects, arming you with vital combat information:
- Burning Light
- Blood Magic
- Tri Focus
- Spell Orb
  - This passive also now only deals Magic Damage, rather than Magic or Physical Damage. Note the damage will continue to dynamically scale with your highest stats.
Increased the scaling of all weapon Light Attacks by 50% and Werewolf Light Attacks by 20%, and introduced a stat scaling limit on these attacks so they stop benefitting from Weapon or Spell Damage and Magicka or Stamina after reaching 3850 damage for weapons and 4813 for Werewolf.
- Note that this limit is unaffected by bonuses to damage such as Critical Strikes, Berserk, or Vulnerability.
Developer Comment:
To further explain what’s happening with these attacks, let’s create an example experience with everyone’s favorite subject – math. Let’s say you have a character that has 6,000 Weapon or Spell Damage, and 33,000 Magicka or Stamina. In Update 35 and 36, your Light Attacks would take 35% of your Weapon or Spell Damage and 3.33% (repeating) of your Magicka or Stamina on a melee Light Attack, and 90% of those values for a ranged version.

In this example, before any bonuses or multipliers, their base damage would be 3200 damage. In Update 37, the change would be seen as reaching 3850, as the stat addition would be (6000 * .525) + (33300 * .05) = 4800 but the base damage stat cap would kick in. Keep in mind that this does not impact the damage of these values when you start evaluating modifiers or reductions that deal with percentages like mitigation, Critical Strikes, or raw damage increases.

Before your minds are too muddied with numbers, let’s move onto the part that you probably care more about – why we’re doing this. In Update 35, our goal was to try and hit some of the damage ceiling with weaving without hurting the lower and middle experiences in the game, but we ultimately had to make compromises at the time that hit everyone across the board. After ruminating and losing way too much hair, we’ve now found a way to try and get us back on target of hitting our original goals, where we can actually increase the damage in some of the lower levels of play, without changing too much of the numbers on the high end again.

The end result is that Light Attacks will now scale much more aggressively with your stats, inflating their damage for non-optimized builds, without changing their damage too much at their ceiling end (some of the super optimized raid environments may lose ~100-200 base damage on Light Attacks).
Fixed numerous issues where attacks were missing invisible targets when they should not have been. Affected attacks are listed below:
- Burning and Poisoned status effects
- Lady Malygda
- Fiery Breath and morphs
- Impaling Shards and morphs’ first tick
Bar swapping while you are actively bracing (holding Block) will no longer temporarily disable Block. This should significantly reduce the situations of dying while bar swapping. Tanks rejoice, your power will no longer know bounds!
Abilities and item sets that pull a singular target will now also attempt to taunt the target for 15 seconds if they are not already affected by a player taunt. This applies to the following sources:
- Beckoning Armor
- Fiery Grip and Unrelenting Grip
- Silver Leash
- Swarm Mother
Developer Comment:
In a previous update, we removed a feature referred to as “soft taunt” that was seen on a few of these sources, which at the time was actively causing complications with targets becoming taunt immune or tauntable. We’ve found a much better long-term solution after investigating this for a while, with a lot less weird hitches or interactions. Now when you use an ability against a target, it will check if the target is already taunted; if they are not, it will taunt them. If they are already taunted, it will continue to pull the target and all of the other listed effects, but the taunt from the pull will not apply. This should help give more power of control to those who need to taunt targets, while simultaneously allowing non-tanks to still utilize these abilities without getting clobbered in situations such as the Twins in Maw of Lorkhaj.
Made some adjustments to taunts sourced from player abilities, such as Puncture or Inner Rage, to improve their user experience when interacting with the taunt immunity mechanic.
- Enemies will now only become taunt immune after they are taunted 5 times between two unique targets, up from 3 times, to reduce the likelihood of applying it unintentionally.
- Fixed an issue where a single caster of taunt could apply 2 stacks of taunt on an enemy, rather than only 1.
Developer Comment:
We’re reducing the chances of running into the frustrating experiences of taunt immunity when there are multiple taunt users in a group, while also preparing for the fact that a few more abilities will now attempt to taunt enemies. We’re still keeping taunt immunity, though, to prevent situations where you can abuse monster AI as they often get confused and are sensitive to all of the mean things they hear shouted at them.
Fixed an issue where you could enter a state where you were unable to travel to Wayshrines in some very rare cases.
Fixed an issue where the cost of sneak was being charged twice per tick.
Fixed an issue where you could activate synergies more times than intended.

Buffs and Debuffs

Added two new help entries under the Combat header to explain named buffs and debuffs in the Major and Minor system. Knowledge!

Dragonknight

Ardent Flame
- Earthen Heart
  - Helping Hands:
    - This passive now requires the ability cost of what triggered it to be greater than the restored amount of Stamina, to prevent situations where you could gain more Stamina than you had spent as Magicka.
    - Rank 1 of the ability now shares the same value as Rank 2, but has a cooldown of 2 seconds rather than once every cast.
    - Increased the restored amount of Stamina to 1120, up from 990.
    Developer Comment:
    There are currently a myriad of ways to use this passive in unintended ways, allowing for situations where you can essentially get infinite Stamina. Many have cleverly paired cost reduction with Ash Cloud when we changed the ability to cost per tick, and while we appreciated this clever interaction, it's ultimately invalidating the need of Stamina resource management for the class in the tank role. We're adjusting this passive to only work when you've spent more resources than it can generate, and we're slightly bumping up the Stamina restore so this doesn't create a situation of an overall nerf.
- Fiery Grip
  - Empowering Chains Chains of Devastation: This morph now grants Major Berserk for 4 seconds after casting, rather than Empower, as Molten Armaments already grants it in a much more effect way. As such, this morph was renamed to better denote its effects. Such devastation was our intention.
- Lava Whip
  - Molten Whip: Fixed an issue where this morph could fail to activate many conditional requirements that stated, “when casting an ability that costs Magicka or Stamina”. Note that conditional requirements that require only a Stamina ability specifically will still not fire, as this ability is predominantly Magicka oriented.
- Shackle: Increased the damage of this synergy by 20% to ensure it stands up to other Ultimate synergies' power.

Necromancer

Grave Lord
- Boneyard
  - Graverobber (morph): Reduced the damage of this synergy by approximately 34% to ensure it is of similar power to other synergies of its ilk, such as Conduit or Combustion.
- Skeletal Mage
  - Skeletal Archer (morph): Fixed an issue where the damage boost from this morph would fail to apply if the damage was blocked.
Bone Tyrant
- Death Gleaning: This passive now restores 333/666 Magicka and Stamina when a nearby enemy dies, up from 100/200.
  Developer Comment:
  For masters of death, Necromancers can often find themselves out of fuel even when there are corpses littering the battlefield. To try and remedy this without tipping the scales too far in areas where Necromancer is already doing well, we’re increasing these bonuses by a decent amount.

Sorcerer

Daedric Summoning
- Conjured Ward:
  - Increased the damage shield size of this ability and the Regenerative Ward morph by 10%.
  - Increased the Max Health cap of these abilities to 55%, up from 50%.
  - This ability and its morphs now dynamically scale between the higher of your Max Health or Magicka, rather than only Magicka.
    - Hardened Ward (morph): Increased the damage shield size of this morph by approximately 7% and increased the Max Health cap to 72%, up from 60%.
    - Empowered Ward Regenerative Ward: Renamed this morph to prevent confusion with the buff type.
  Developer Comment:
  Shields are a primary defense identity for the Sorcerer class, but since the balance adjustments to shields in years past, the class has struggled a little bit to keep up defensively in ways that helped reinforce this feeling. We're making a targeted adjustment to try and help their core class shield to make them stand out above others, while avoiding the concerns of shield stacking in years past. We're hoping this also helps the class's kill potential go up a little in PvP environments, where they don't have to spend as much time recasting shields and heals to avoid death, and they can spend an extra second or so spell slinging on the offensive. We're also hoping the dynamic scaling of Magicka or Health will help out those few Sorcerer tanks out there have a shinier tool in their kit.
- Summon Unstable Familiar: Fixed an issue with this ability and its morphs if another Sorcerer's version of these abilities attacked a target, your own would rally to their cause and immediately become active in combat as well. However, we still encourage you to use them to aid one another in battle nonetheless!
Storm Calling
- Conduit: Increased the damage of this synergy by 20% to ensure it stands up to other synergies' power when accounting for the fact that it also only does damage.
- Mages’ Fury:
  - Increased the size of the Area of Effect portion of this ability and its morphs to 5 meters, up from 4.
  - Fixed an issue where the execute damage from these abilities were not properly labeled as an execute.
    - Mages’ Wrath (morph): This morph now deals its execute damage to all targets nearby, rather than dealing an initial hit and a smaller amount of damage to nearby targets. This will result in an approximate 129% damage increase of the Area of Effect, while also causing the ability to appear under the same ability ID for combat logs.
- Overload: Fixed an issue where this Ultimate and its morphs would not remove themselves when Heavy Attacking with just enough Ultimate for 1 tick.

Templar

Aedric Spear
- Radial Sweep
  - Empowering Sweep Everlasting Sweep:
    - Increased the duration of the pulsing Damage over Time to 10 seconds at base, up from 6 seconds.
    - This morph no longer grants Empower, as Solar Flare and its morphs already grant this buff. As such, the name has been adjusted to prevent confusion.
Dawn’s Wrath
- Backlash: Fixed an issue where this ability and the Purifying Light morph were considered magical melee damage, rather than magical ranged damage. Note that Power of the Light was already considered martial ranged damage and has not changed.
- Eclipse
  - Living Dark (morph):
    - Fixed an issue where this ability’s visuals could cause you to appear invisible in some cases.
    - Fixed an issue where this ability's visual effects would persist in place when the target that used the ability would stealth or become invisible.
Restoring Light
- Purify: Fixed an issue where this synergy's healing was being truncated in some situations. This will result in a minor increase in the healing done.

Warden

Animal Companions
- Dive
  - Cutting Dive (morph): This morph no longer requires the enemy to not be Off Balance for the Damage over Time to apply, and will now apply any time it deals damage.
Winter’s Embrace
- Crystallized Shield:
  - This ability and the Shimmering Shield morph now grant 2 Ultimate when the shield takes damage, rather than restoring Magicka equal to 22% of the ability’s cost.
  - Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 4320, up from 3780.
  - Reduced the shield strength of this ability and the Shimmering Shield morph by approximately 33%.
    - Crystallized Slab (morph):
      - This morph no longer grants Magicka or the new Ultimate restore when the shield takes damage, in exchange for the damage done and stun. This morph does retain the original size of the damage shield.
      - Reduced the damage per hit of this morph by approximately 33%.
  Developer Comment:
  Currently, this ability and its morphs are enabling too much defensive power for the Warden against ranged opponents, while simultaneously allowing them to keep the ability up with next to no cost. In order to peel back some of the power in those regards, we’re increasing the cost and removing the self-sustaining portion, while also trying to give some love back with Ultimate generation. While doing this, we’re also trying to differentiate the morph power you pick from, where Slab is more about shaking off ranged builds and being more defensive, while Shimmering doubles down on the juicy Ultimate generation.

Weapon

Destruction Staff
- Ancient Knowledge: Fixed multiple issues where the Inferno and Lightning Staff components were applying to incorrect attack types.
- Elemental Susceptibility:
  - This morph’s secondary effects are now tracked separately, rather than being linked to Major Breach. This will allow the status effects from the ability to continue while multiple applications are active, or when other sources of Major Breach apply and override this.
  - Reduced the tick frequency to 7.5 seconds, down from 6.
- Wall of Elements:
  - All versions of this ability and its morphs will now display a hostile telegraph to enemies.
  - Wall of Frost and its morphs will now apply Minor Breach and reduce the movement speed of enemies by 40% for 4 seconds when damaging a Chilled target, rather than Immobilized them for 4 seconds.
  Developer Comment:
  In efforts to help reduce the amount of passive crowd control in the game, we’re shifting the power of Wall of Frost’s control to a snare, rather than an immobilize, while helping it gain some more use cases in PvE parts of the game.
Dual Wield
- Flurry: Fixed an issue with this ability and its morphs where the damage and audio impacts appeared delayed and out of sync with its animation.
Two Handed
- Cleave: Fixed an issue where the visuals and sound effects from this ability and its morphs could fail to play properly in some cases.
- Critical Charge
  - Stampede (morph): Fixed an issue where the initial hit of this morph would only guarantee its Critical Strike against the first target hit, rather than all targets hit. Note that this guaranteed Critical still does not apply to the Damage over Time portion of the ability, which is by design.
- Uppercut: Fixed an issue where this ability and the Wrecking Blow morph would lose targeting far easier than the Dizzying Swing morph.
  - Wrecking Blow (morph): This morph now also grants Major Berserk for 5 seconds. Now it’s really time to wreck it.

World

Vampire
- Mist Form:
  - This ability and its morphs are no longer a toggled ability that reduce your damage taken from players or grant crowd control immunity while active. Instead, they now teleport you to the position of your cursor, up to a maximum of 15 meters away, and reduce your damage taken from the next 3 projectiles by 100% while teleporting. Casting any of these abilities will increase the cost of the ability by 33% for 4 seconds. The base cost is now 4050 per cast, which reduces to 3780 at rank IV of the base ability.
    - Elusive Mist (morph): This morph now grants Major Expedition and Major Evasion for 4 seconds after reappearing, rather than just Major Expedition.
    - Blood Mist (morph):
      - This morph now causes you to deal damage around you and heal for 45% of the damage caused once every 2 seconds over 20 seconds after activating the ability, rather than once every second while active.
      - Increased the damage per tick by approximately 9%.
  Developer Comment:
  This skill has been a wild ride for the past 8 years and while we tried to preserve the original skill as much as we could with the rework, we've run into far too many issues with how the skill was used and how it operated, and its current iteration doesn’t have enough use between all gameplay types. While it was a widely used skill and could be a lot of fun to play with, it was creating many unhealthy gameplay implications in both PvE and PvP and was being used in ways that didn't feel very Vampiric in nature. We've decided to go back to the drawing board to hit on what the original skill was trying to evoke in terms of feel and use. To try and retain the element of slipping into mist and evading attacks, we've shifted the skill into more of a movement-oriented ability, rather than a pure utility and defensive one, causing you to slip into mist temporarily to evade projectiles and make a hasty retreat or engage. The morphs still focus on the same options as well, where Elusive Mist doubles down on the slippery nature of the skill with bonuses and mitigation, while Blood Mist continues to reward those blood thirsty play styles with life steal. Also be wary of those pesky Fighters Guild attackers! They know how to get around all of these nasty new tricks.
Werewolf
- Piercing Howl
  - Feeding Frenzy (morph): This synergy now grants Minor Force and Empower for 10 seconds, rather than only Empower for 5 seconds.
  - Howl of Despair (morph): This morph now allows the caster to self-synergize Feeding Frenzy.

Guild

Fighters Guild
- Trap Beast: This ability and its morphs will now only trigger ability timers after they’ve hit a target, rather than after placing and after hitting a target.
Psijic Order
- Concentrated Barrier: Fixed an issue where the shield from this passive could be half of its listed value in some cases.

Alliance War

Support
- Guard: Fixed an issue where this ability and morphs’ transferred damage was able to trigger other conditional requirements.

General

You will now gain rapport with Ember at the end of a Tribute match regardless of winning or losing.

General

Many distance-based item sets – such as Zaan or Scourge Harvester – will now properly interact with dragons, being able to apply to them when other abilities are meeting their ranged requirements and no longer instantly breaking if they activated. This applies to the following sets:
- Alessia’s Bulwark
- Auroran’s Thunder
- Bani’s Torment
- Beckoning Armor
- Deadlands’ Assassin
- Death’s Wind
- Force Overflow
- Kyne’s Kiss
- Glacial Guardian
- Grothdarr
- Lady Malygda
- Night Terror
- Noble Duelist Silks
- Point-Blank Snipe
- Riposte
- Savage Werewolf
- Scourge Harvester
- Selene
- Spiked Armor
- Stone Husk
- Swarm Mother
- Twin Sisters
- Wrath of Elements
- Zaan

Consumables

Glyph of Physical Harm and Glyph of Spell Harm: These enchantments now grant Weapon and Spell Damage, rather than only Weapon or Spell Damage. Physical Harm glyphs now add 10 Stamina Recovery at all qualities, while Spell Harm glyphs now add 10 Magicka Recovery at all qualities.
Developer Comment:
In aims to continue our work on hybridization, we’re merging these enchantments to grant hybrid stats. However, we still want to retain some semblance of differentiation with these glyphs so we don’t need to remove them from existence (this would actually cause a lot more problems than it seems), so we’re adding some very small bonuses to each. This bonus will be small enough that you shouldn’t feel the need to take one over the other, but if you’re really trying to optimize you can play around with either to get that extra bit of power.

Item Traits

Bloodthirsty: This trait now grants up to 210-350 Weapon and Spell Damage against enemies under 90% Health, up from 70-350. This will cause the trait to reach the same final results as before, but with less of a power gap between the lowest and highest qualities.
Harmony:
- This trait now grants you up to 880 Health, Magicka, and Stamina when you activate a synergy per trait, rather than increasing the healing, damage, and shielding potency of synergies by 20% per trait.
- Fixed an issue where Harmony did not interact with Companion synergies.
Developer Comment:
This trait is currently far too niche for its intended use and is meant to be an enhancer to the Undaunted skill line and group play, but ironically is being utilized more by solo builds in PvP to instantly obliterate large groups. We’re shifting this trait over to be more recovery focused, which has much more use potential between PvE and PvP, rather than trying to continue making a value that doesn’t add more insta-gibbing potential but still has impact enough in PvE.

Dungeon & Arena Sets

Crimson Oath’s Rive: After cracking the code, this set now only fires when you meet its conditions while in combat, in order to prevent it from firing before you’ve actively engaged with enemies and helping prevent those pesky pre-pulls.
Ironblood: Fixed an issue with this set’s visual effects not being visible to enemies in some cases.

Monster Masks

Archdruid Devyric: Updated the area effect hit box of this set to be a 7m x 5m rectangle, rather than a cone. This should fix numerous issues where the set could miss the target it was spawned on.
Lady Malygda:
- Fixed an issue where this set’s damage was considered single target, rather than area effect.
- Fixed an issue where this set would miss invisible targets.
- Did not fix how easy it is to butcher the pronunciation of the set.
Valkyn Skoria: Fixed an issue where this set's damage could become desynced from its visual effects and appear to fail in many cases.

Mythic Items

Faun’s Lark Cladding: Fixed an issue where some of this set’s effects could become stuck on your character.
Pearls of Ehlnofey: This set now grants 3 Ultimate when you attempt to cast an ability that consumes resources while under 50% of your dominant resource, rather than 5 Ultimate while under 30% of that resource. This was done to make the set more widely available to use, while peeling back some of the raw power of the set.

Overland Sets

Night Terror: Fixed an issue where the tooltip bonus for this item set was listed as up to 27% sneak radius reduction, rather than the actual up to 10%.
Seventh Legion Brute: Fixed an issue where this set was not activating off the Minor Resolve granted from Resolving Vigor.
Stygian: Fixed an issue where this set could activate out of combat in some cases.
Vesture of Darloc Brae: Fixed an issue where this set’s 4-piece bonus scaled with Night Terror’s quality instead of its own quality.

PvP Sets

Mara's Balm: Reduced the healing of this set to 1106, down from 1675, to peel back some of its passive healing potential.

These changes should get the drop rates back to the intended rates.
