Bane is discussed there.

With Ruination being removed, the Lv. 78 trait has changed Bane’s 15% chance to refresh DoT durations to 30s to the spread targets, not the source, to a 100% chance making the duration reset to spread targets guaranteed.

Glad to see it's not applying to the source, thus giving us the free GCDs of extra Ruin spam only in multi-target scenarios. That feels reasonably exploiting a unique mechanic (Bane-bounce) rather than just gutting a general one (DoT maintenance). Good, good.

don't forget with Bane the spread has a falloff. so even if you keep baning off baning you're not being very smart.

That would require that Bane overrides the existing directly-applied DoTs. I could have sworn it doesn't, but I will double-check.

What do you mean it has a falloff? Post level...I think the notes said 78... It's a 100% chance of refreshing the DoTs on the spread targets. I believe at that rate you can literally never cast DoTs again if there are 2+ targets.

The potency of the DoTs spread by Bane is reduced.

The patch notes are not accurate for Apex Arrow, because it never hit for 500 potency at 20 Soul Gauge. 500 potency was the max the Soul Gauge would allow. The devs just corrected the tool tip and increased the potency by 5 for every 5 on the Soul Gauge.

I'm legit-legit stoked that two weeks before Shadowbringers released, I half-halfheartedly mentioned on the forums (here) that I'd love to see the crowned winged-lion as a mount.

And it is is freaking happening.

Thank you Dev Team.

I'd love the Notorious Monster Hunter title. Honestly though, even if we had far more notice of the closure of Diadem's battle achievements, I still wouldn't deign to go back in there in its current iteration.

All things considered, they should have attached "Notorious Monster Hunter" or something similar to Eureka's NMs ages ago. There were far more opportunities to kill NMs there, with various spawn methods through placeholders.

I like this about DNC now.

Old combo: Cascade 200 -> Fountain 250 -> Fountain Fall 350 -> Reverse Cascade 300
New combo: Cascade 250 -> Fountain 300 -> Fountain Fall 350 -> Reverse Cascade 300

I find the lack of Hildibrand disturbing.
