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.

Combat

 * 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

 * 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

 * Artificer Iron Defenders, Druid Wolf Companions, Onyx Panthers and Owlbear Defenders have been ordered to end their "we won't attack anything" strike.

Items

 * Fixed an issue that could cause characters to get multiple copies of certain effects, causing "lag" when that character was examined.

 * Defiler of the Just
 * The layout of the raid area has been significantly adjusted.
 * Abishai Executioners now have a smaller enemy detection area.
 * Demon Assault
 * Kerchac will no longer teleport.
 * Kerchac will no longer knock players out of the Boss area.
 * Players will no longer be able to get stuck between the gate and the teleport portal near the end boss.
