Update: Bracket size now set to max 450 MMR difference. So some match making, but less strict than before.

[Weekend Warfront: Blood Basin]
The blackened environs of Black Fire Pass are home to one of the bloodiest battles yet seen. The clash of steel on steel does little to drown out the screams of the wounded as Order and Destruction forces struggle for dominance in the blood-mired snow.
This weekend the Blood Basin will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 Friday to 12:00 Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Black Fire Basin scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.
New for this week is that you will get to pick from different event slot items depending on your class. When you open the chest you get an event item for your level.

[Warrior Priest & Disciple of Khaine shield rework]
Warrior Priests and Disciples of Khaine previously only had lower level shields available from a special merchant and all of them used the same appearance. Now they have many appropriate appearances to choose from, based on modified versions of KotBS, Black Guard & NPC shields.
The shields been spread throughout the game. They will appear in loot tables, PQ rewards, quest rewards, influence rewards and at vendors, just like any other gear. There are also lower level versions of Bucklers & Disciple of Khaine Blood Wards at scenario reward vendors.
The old lvl 36 Blue rarity shields & weapons available from vendors have been added to the T4 Epic Quests

Runepriest :
- Fixed an issue causing Rune of Balance to not convert Intel to Willpower

Dissolving Mist and Napalm Grenade
- Base damage and Primary Stat Mult have both been increased significantly.
This is to follow up on changes last week that removed the ability for this damage to crit and deal proc damage. Testing with 1100 INT and damage buff from the pet, unmitigiated, Dissolving Mist deals about 700 damage every 2s at the third stage of the damage ramp. This should make this 13pt spec ability less trivial for PvP uses, but will still be monitored over the next patch to see if it is still over/underperforming.
[General]
- Fixed an issue causing Orc, Goblins and Troll cross the chasm and attack players when you use the Dwarf Organ Gun in Ekrund starting area
[Butchering]
- Primal Nature is back in loot tables.
[Scenarios]
- Fixed issue which caused scenarios to rotate on server reboot. (They will now correctly rotate 9am Monday server time)
