Patch Overview 12.22

Cristian Lupasco -

The latest balancing patch has landed this week on the live server. Patch 12.22 is the last patch of the set and it will last three weeks. There are a lot of buffs and changes to make the last patch memorable as we depart from Dragonlands into the next set of Monsters Attack!.

Systems

  • A second Treasure Dragon has replaced the Wolves PVE round
  • This Treasure Dragon can be any of the 3 Treasure Dragon variants. The two Treasure Dragons that you see can be different, or the same.
  • Items from orbs have been reduced by 2 to compensate for the increased item count from Treasure Dragons.

Augments

The two too high impact Augments are back after their brief removal for the Championship patch

  • High End Shopping has been added back to the Augment pool
  • Level Up! has been added back to the Augment pool

Meta Implication

Following the latest patch, there will be some changes to the most popular comps but due to the fact that it's the last patch of the Dragonlands, it won't last for long. Players across all ranks will look to experiment instead of trying to play the best possible build as in previous patches to end Dragonlands on a positive and interesting note.
