New Fabled Crate Rotation

Titan Changes

Titan has seen some improvements based on suggestions. UTitan should be slightly shorter and have a little better loot. Now with the new items being added to Titan, they are in both UTitan and Normal Titan with lower rates.

Drakzix Rework

Drakzix has been reworked to be a more burst damage focused class, allowing for faster charging and increased overall DPS. The siphon drain now drains your MP, with the drain rate increasing overtime, until it starts draining your HP once you hit 5% MP. Siphons now incorporate wisdom as well, with a different drain rate alongside draining HP when charging, for more powerful bursts. The difference with the WisMod addition allows Drakzix to have two different builds, with the overall DPS build being better, and the WisMod build being better burst damage.

As per the Prem Testing feedback, minor tweaks and changes were done.

Siphon Changes

With this rework in mind, we have also gone ahead and reworked all its items too, specifically its ability, the siphon. Most of these changes have been made to fit the new and hopefully improved class. Alongside these changes, there is a new AR Siphon for testing, The Eye, including enchanted variants.

Dreadcull Changes

We've tweaked the Dreadcull once more, buffing it to give better stats and more of a focus on minion damage. We've also included enchanted versions of it, each with their own unique effects. The minions now also follow mobs and enemies.

Shard Pool Changes

We have listened to feedback after the Prem Testing session considering the changes with shards, and having more drops instead. As per this, we have gone ahead and made a few more minor changes but not too different than ones seen on Prem Testing. Hopefully with this, grinding the endgame content can feel more rewarding and worthy. Note that all the drops in the raids can drop from BOTH normal and ultra but at different rates.

Note that you can still shine the dropped items, but you cant shine into the dropped items. (Massive credits to - Zipzar, Shad and Avatar for the suggestion)
