Update 27 Patch 1 Hotfix Release Notes
Welcome to the Update 27 Patch 1 Hotfix Release Notes for Dungeons & Dragons Online! These notes were posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2015.
News and Notes[edit]
Combat[edit]
- Melee and Ranged Power now work properly when they are brought into negative numbers. For example, -50 Melee Power now means you deal 100/150, or 2/3rd, or 66% less damage based on our standard Negative Melee Power formula of 100 / (100 - Power). -100 Melee Power means you deal half damage, etc.
Enhancements[edit]
- Fixed an issue that caused the Warlock Soul Eater's Strickened Soul enhancement reduce Melee, Ranged, and Spell Power by far more than described.
- Soul Eater's Inhuman Nature now increases Consume and Stricken damage by the proper amount.
Hirelings[edit]
- Artificer Iron Defenders, Druid Wolf Companions, Onyx Panthers and Owlbear Defenders have been ordered to end their "we won't attack anything" strike.
Items[edit]
