Combat


  • An issue causing AoE spells, such as the burst and barrage ancient magicks, to not award adrenaline correctly has been fixed.

This means that bosses phase correctly when they reach their HP threshold and mechanics that rely on damage to progress (such as Telos' tendrils or Vorago's pushback phases (Phase 5 - Normal Mode, Phase 10/11 - Hard Mode)) will now take the additional damage from the modifiers into the equation.

  • You can now quickchat your current Telos killstreak and enrage as well as quickchat your highest killstreak

  • When viewing Telos in the beast tab it'll now display your highest killstreak

  • Solak duo mode and group mode kill times now display separately in the Beasts tab, and can be broadcasted separately. Duo mode falls under (HM).

    No meaningful content, but still amazing patches.

    The above two stood out for me. Gj and thx!

    EDIT:
    With auto-regen enabled and no adrenaline, I get the usual "This ability requires adrenaline in order to be used.", which is rather spammy when I travel long diastances with Surge (& other movement abilities). No actual combat involved. Could we get a fix for that plz?!
