> Magroth Charge ability now deals 300% of weapon damage and stuns all targets in his path for 4 seconds.
> Magroth Meteor Strike ability now deals 1500% of weapon damage upon impact.
> Magroth gained the Enrage ability, increasing his damage by 300% and doubling his attack speed. Magroth does not possess the Enrage ability while under level 35.
> The Broken Dragon now deals greatly reduced damage with his attacks, but now his attacks are ranged and the attack speed has been increased.
> The Broken Dragon no longer follows the target while channeling Fire Breath. Instead, the Dragon locks on the target’s position and spews the Breath continuously for 2.5 seconds, then restarts the sequence. The Breath sequence repeats 3 times. Fire Breath now deals increasingly more damage the more time elapses, starting each new Breath at 100% weapon damage and peaking at 2000% weapon damage per second during the final second. The Broken Dragon is immune to crowd control effects while channeling the Fire Breath.
> The Broken Dragon periodically Overflows, shooting Fire Bolts around. Each Fire Bolt deals 275% of weapon damage.
> The Broken Dragon spews Molten Lava, creating patches of lava in the Hero’s proximity. After 1.5 seconds, the patch activates, and any unit standing inside the patch is afflicted by molten lava, taking 10% weapon damage per second and increases damage taken by 10%, stacking up to 10 times. The molten lava lingers for 7 seconds, and a new application refreshes the duration. Patches last for 21 seconds. The Broken Dragon does not possess the Molten Lava ability under level 35.
> Elban now deals greatly reduced damage with his melee attacks, but his attack speed has been increased.
> Elban Blood Leech now deals increasingly higher damage the more time the link stays activated and the closer Elban is to his target, and also heals Elban by a great amount the closer the target is to him and the more time Elban spent draining blood. Elban also slows the target while channeling Blood Leech. When the distance between Elban and the target is too great, the link breaks. The Blood Leech does not heal Elban during the first 1.5 seconds of channeling.
> Elban leaps into the air and then targets the player’s position, highlighted by a circle when his targeting is complete, unleashing a Devastating Assault, which deals 10000% weapon damage.
> Elban teleports next to the player and channels frontal attack for 3 sec, attempting to Impale the Hero with great force. Impale deals 150% weapon damage instantly, and causes the Hero to bleed for 25% weapon damage and deal 5% increased damage every second for the remainder of the fight. The Impale bleed effect stacks multiple times.
> Elban is immune to crowd control effects once he started channeling any ability.
> Elban movement speed has been increased by 50%.

Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug causing Battle Rage to wrongly provide the wrong amount of movement speed, including when not moving towards an opponent.
- Fixed a bug which caused singularity to do less damage than intended.
- Trial maps have been slightly increased in size and monster density to prevent spawning too few monsters.
- Fixed a bug which allowed low level jewelry with abnormally high stats to be created.
- Fixed a bug which sometimes caused crashes when using the Death from Above ability.
General
- Several language localizations are now available.
- Low level monsters damage and health ratios have been readjusted to match their difficulty level to the scope of the class and game changes.
- The Summoner in the campaign level “The Defiler” lost his bodyguards.
- Leaderboards have been added for Trial completions. Generic leaderboards can now be found in the Main Menu, while class specific leaderboards can be found in the Trials tab.
- Several stats have been converted into ratings. Parry Rating replaced Parry Chance, Dodge Rating replaced Dodge Chance, Block Rating replaced Dodge Chance and Haste Rating replaced Attack Speed. The formulas to calculate the new ratings are: chance=Rating / (Rating + K) for Parry, Dodge and Block ratings, where K varies per character level. K(70) is 2000 for Parry, 2200 for Dodge and 2400 for Block. Haste Rating formula is number_of_attacks=1+[6 x Rating / (Rating+K)], where K(70)=1000.
- Critical Rating K(70) coefficient is now 3000 (was 3500). The formula to determine the critical chance at level 70 is now Chance to crit = Critical Rating / (Critical Rating + 3000).

Trials
- Trial levels 1 to 7 now contain normal mode monsters and bosses of levels 10 for Trial level 1, 20 for Trial level 2, 30 for Trial level 3, 40 for Trial level 4, 50 for Trial level 5, 60 for Trial level 6 and 70 for Trial level 7. Trials levels 8 and higher now gain scaling coefficients, as detailed below.
- Trials damage scaling is now 3.5% compared to the previous level. Trial health scaling is now 8% compared to the previous level. Thus, monsters in Trial level 100 will deal roughly 24 times more damage and have roughly 1300 times more health than a normal mode monster at level 70.

- Experience gained from monsters in Trials now increases by 5% per Trial level above 7 when compared to the previous level. Thus, a monster in a Trial level 100 will yield over 93 times more experience than a normal mode monster at level 70.
- The Trials completion timer is now 10 minutes (was 9:40).
- Loot quality in Trials has been readjusted so that harder Trials will yield better loot. Trials drop 3 pieces of loot for completing the Trial, one of which has higher chance to be of superior quality if the trial was completed in time. Some breakpoints for the new loot system are: at level 42, all items will be of at least Epic quality, and at level 80 all items will be of Legendary quality. Any item dropped has a 20% chance to be a set item, if applicable. The item awarded for completing the Trial in time beyond Trial level 80 have an increasingly higher chance to have their roll improved. Trial bosses never drop common quality or uncommon quality items, regardless of level.
- The Parry Rating, Dodge Rating, Block Rating, Extra Experience, Extra Gold, Damage Reflect and Life Regeneration stats have a greatly decreased chance to occur on gear dropped by Trial bosses.
- Trials can only spawn the Magroth, Broken Dragon or Elban bosses.
