Patch Notes 07/08/25

[Magusar]

• In the melee dps Twisted Darkpromise set the 4pc bonus is:
  
  
  Could you elaborate on if it stacks with Damage decreasers such as Guard, Detaunt, Challenge, Tank M3? If it stacks, is it additive or multiplicative damage decrease?

Currently it will "stack" with Guard, not stack with Detaunt, not stack with Challenge and will stack with Distracting Bellow. All damage reductions should be stacking multiplicatively.

• Then, in the ranged dps Darkpromise set the 4pc bonus is:
  
  
  Could you elaborate on if the Clairvoyance proc has an Internal Cool-down different than the standard 0.25 s ICD? In the database page for it (https://war-abilityviewer.dalen.io/ability/35688) there is a sneaky entry stating

  EventTargetCooldown: 10000

  
  Does that imply an ICD of 10 seconds that is not indicated at the tooltip of the proc or is it just the duration of the buff after it procs?

Clairvoyance was designed with the 10s internal cooldown. It is missing from the tooltip, will be fixed in next patch.

And I saw a question whether it would be consumed by auto attacks. It should not be consumed by auto attacks.

This proc doesn't cover the nerf to the bw/sorc mechanics. Not at all. As is the set itself. It's great for twinks, but not for the overall state of the archetype in the endgame. But it was the "new set in which bw/sorс will shine" rumors* that served as the reason for this nerf.

Nice catch. This proc seems amazing (effectively up to a 10% extra crit chance depending on what your current crit chance is) but might be 1000x less amazing if it can only proc once every 10s.

Yep, it's supposed to proc once every 10s (at best). Bonus points if this this is STILL consumed by your AA.

So it's probably better suited to the ST big nuke ability builds. Makes sense!

The nerf to the critical damage of the BW and Sorc mechanic has no relation at all to the Darkpromise set.

[Malessar]

Hii thanks for the dungeon !! Awesome of u guys.

Question on 3 fronts

1 are the different sets cosmetically different? Aka does blissful feature different looking items than main spec/offspec etc??

2 would u consider including rewards for playthroughs after getting the sets to pre existing dungeons? I.e. gunbad gives you weapons that you can sell and liniments and I understand this dungeon too, encouraging playing through it after beating it, but crypts gives only a stalwart and bastion stairs gives nothing

3 when can we have a sister of Avelorn or handmaiden of the Everqueen cosmetic set for the shadow warrior? Ty!

No, not really. Because rdps (well, not only them but...) usually have "use your dots/debuffs then use your damage abilities" gameplay. And you are,obviously,unlikely to proc this thin instead of, for example, wasting it on DoT.

To speak frankly, this proc is "garbage bonus" and serves to tone town a set which would otherwise made almost all other PvE and PvP sets redundant.

P.S. And even with this weak bonus it DOES make most other sets redundant (for SW/SH anyways). You'll need to mix this with sentinel (for a ring+tali combo) and then straight to the BiS sov+tri mix (or tri+sov if you prefer). All other sets are either situational (Blissful DP is good for AoE, no reason to buy invader; def sov and victorious for def, obviously). The rest are just junk/appearence items.

Applying DoTs can proc Clairvoyance, but DoT abilities will not consume the proc.

Correct. But, since you are unlikely to drop your rotation because this thing is procced, it's usefullness is...limited.

Got it. Found that message - lost context.Thanks for the answer.

Would be great, some of the new looks are epic but I also liked the chosen OG (the IC guards armor)

Anyway this is amazing, thanks a lot !!!

Kind of my feeling too to be honest. I saw that this set has 5% crit across three pieces (shoulders, gloves and boots) which maybe makes a 5pc setup attractive despite the 4pc proc not being as crazy as I hoped. Need to get the pieces into the min-max spreadsheet to test.
