Updated Bug Fixes and Item Changes

Bug Fixes

Altar of Rites

The mysterious powers of the Altar of Rites have been amplified! Seal N now grants an even clearer authority, while Seal X prevents pets from upstaging their owners when adventuring. In addition, a snag with over-generous progress orbs has been fixed thanks to diligent work on Seal V. It is time for grand new adventures with upgraded protection and rewards along the way!

Monk Skill Changes

Monks now have a formidable set of skills at their disposal. The Combination Strike Passive Skill boosts the damage on all Spirit Generators for 10 seconds. Crippling Wave dazes nearby enemies and hinders their movement speed and attack rate by 30% and 20%, respectively. Adding to this potency is the Concussion Rune which reduces enemy damage output as well as Breaking Wave that increases incoming damage from any source! Deadly Reach with Foresight runes further augments Monk power. Every third strike deals increased total damages plus boosting attacks by 15%. Lastly Way of 100 fists gives maximum experience in combat through its Assimilation rune allowing each impact hit to increase monk's overall strength via 5% bonus per foe struck within ten seconds duration.

Item Changes

Barbarians join the fray, ramping up their fury with a powerful six-piece bonus boosting Frenzy damage by an unprecedented 2000%. Meanwhile Demon Hunters employ Chanon Bolter to entice enemies into range of Spike Traps that deal deadly volleys of 150 - 200% increased damage. For added devastation, The Demons Demise will have foes facing double trouble as every blast also damages them after one second with another increase in power between 150 and 200%. Because of the community’s feedback about the Natalya's changes; developers wanted to move Natalya's away from Gears of Dreadlands for giving it a unique identity. They hope Natalya's playstyle gives players more control over the explosions they set off while navigating the battlefield.

Natalya’s Slayer set is here to turn the tide of battle! With this powerful equipment, your Spike Traps will be deadlier than ever. Spike damage is increased by 10-15%. Already formidable traps? Not anymore thanks to Natalya's Vengeance. With two-piece bonus enemies affected by Caltrops take full force of a 100% extra spike trap damage (without costing any resources and instantly refreshing charges too) But that’s not all; with four pieces equipped you unlock 75% reduced incoming damage while laying down more enemies disabling spiked fences! Finally, donning on an entire six sets grants terrifying 10,000 increased explosive power in each detonation for even massive chain reactions at 25 % higher blast strength per strike. If you dare wielding such immense preternatural energy like Natalya does then fear no army mighty or small alike.

Enter the Dreadlands with confidence as your primary skills inflict an astonishing 27,500% increased damage. Equip two pieces of The Shadow's Mantle to bolster Bolas, Chakram, Fan of Knives and Impale with 6,000% more destructive force. Bear in mind that Spike Trap won't benefit from this power-up! To make sure you have Trag'oul Coils that empower your spike traps with Scatter Rune technology for twice the deployment speed unleashing up to 200% extra devastating potential. Bring it all together in Unhallowed Essence where just 1 point of discipline will magnify Hatred generators Vengeance attacks and Multishot by 1700%.

The Monk gains the Patterns of Justice set bonus - a Tempest Rush boost that unleashes an additional 20,000 damage! Necromancers in the Masquerade have Bone Spear cranked up to 9,000%, tripled for their Simulacrums. Witch Doctors receive Spirit Barrage: Manitou Rune and summon a specter shooting Cold bolts at nearby foes with 14,000% weapon power over twenty seconds.
