Outlands Patch March 4, 2025 is a minor update for Outlands.
This patch made some minor PvM balance changes and slightly adjusted some PvP mechanics.
Monster Rebalance
Tweaked a large number of prior adjustments made with the previous Monster Rebalance patch that impacted how threatening monsters are to players (particularly Dexers).
Summoned Creatures
Energy Vortex / Jackal Spirit
- The Discharge ability is now a Cooldown ability instead of an Innate ability (i.e will have a 15-second cooldown after it triggers).
- The Discharge ability now has the following description: "Melee attacks have a 10% chance to restore 5% Health and to inflict an additional (DamageMax * 1.5) damage which ignores armor."
Hit Points
Base Hit Points for Summoned Creatures have been adjusted as follows:
- Blade Spirits / Skeletal Husk: 250 (previously was 300).
- Energy Vortex / Jackal Spirit: 500 (previously was 600).
- Earth Elemental / Ancient Mummy: 550 (previously was 600).
- Water Elemental / Rag Witch: 550 (previously was 600).
Traps
- The length of time needed to place Traps has been increased to 4.0 seconds (previously was 3.0 seconds).
Traps Codex
- The Trigger Happy upgrade now has the following description: "Increases Damage by (3% / 6% / 9%) and reduces the time needed to place traps by (0.5 / 1.0 / 1.5) seconds."
- The Nail Canister upgrade now has the following description: "Increases Damage by (4% / 8% / 12%) and hits will ignore (20% / 40% / 60%) of target's Armor."
- The Kill Switch upgrade now has the following description: "Detonating a trap has a (6% / 12% / 18%) chance for player to incur no Trap Cooldown."
- The Flashdust upgrade now has the following description: "Increases Damage by (5% / 10% / 15%) and each target hit will be Hindered for (1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5) seconds."
- The Razorglass upgrade now has the following description: "Increases Damage by (8% / 16% / 24%) but delayed damage will be resolved over an additional (2 / 4 / 6) seconds."
- The Blasting Powder upgrade now has the following description: "Reduces the cumulative Damage Penalty of hitting more than one target by (3% / 6% / 9%)."
Arcane Skill
Skill Capping
- A player's Arcane Skill is now capped by the lower printed value of Wrestling or Magery (whichever is lower).
- This affects Arcane Buildup as well as qualifying for allowing casting while Wielding Arcane Staves.
Arcane Codex
- Players must now have 80 printed skill or higher for all of the following skills in order to utilize any features of an Arcane Codex:
- Arcane
- Wrestling
- Magery
Macing Weapons
Stamina Loss in PvP
- Hits from a Macing-skill weapon against another player now have a (100% * (Damage / 50)) chance to cause the player to lose 5 Stamina.
- The Damage value used to calculate Stamina Loss in PvP is based on the Damage value of the hit after bonuses for Equipment and Skills are applied but before any reductions for Armor or Parry are resolved.
Examples
- A player wielding a Mace hits another player for 18 Damage (before Armor) and would have a 36% chance to cause 5 Stam loss on the target.
- A player wielding a Warhammer hits another player for 36 Damage (before Armor) and would have a 72% chance to cause 5 Stam loss on the target.
