The Luxuriant Update Part I is now avaliable!
To be clear (before anyone asks): This Update does introduce a new Environment: "The Luxuriant Gardens", but does not introduce a new Act or new Missions.
Now onto the Patch Notes:
[h2]New Enemies[/h2]
5 new foes will strengthen the armies of The Slormancer:
- The Pudding Hermit.
- The Zombie Peasant.
- The Shepherd.
- The Unstable Imp.
- The Plague Doctor.
[h2]New Environment[/h2]
A new environment: The Luxuriant Gardens will be available in Battlefield Expeditions.
[h2]Superior Elites[/h2]
- Superior Elites have been added into the game. These Elites will have a chance to spawn in Battlefield Expeditions. They have a superior Life pool and come with up to 4 Elite Affixes.
- 20 Elite Affixes have been added.
[h2]New Cataclysms[/h2]
5 new Cataclysms have been added into the game:
- Fire Strike: Granting Fire Damage to attacks and a Chance to Burn.

- Shadow Strike: Granting Shadow Damage to attacks and a Chance to apply Shadow Confusion.
[h2]Cataclysm Changes[/h2]
- Assimilation: The wording of "Assimilation" has been changed to "Enemies receive X% Decreased Damage for each yard between you and them." (instead of the "damage's source").
- Assimilation: Regardless of the distance, enemies affected by "Assimilation" will now always receive at least 10% of the Damage dealt.
- Reincarnation: In Battlefield Expeditions, enemies now have 25% Chance to be revived (instead of 100%).
- Shadow Curse: After receiving Shadow Curse Damage, you become immune to Shadow Curses for 1 seconds.
- Replicant: Enemies now have 30% Chance to summon a copy of themselves (instead of 100%).
- Jetlag: Has been reworked and now reads: Every second, enemies have 10% Chance to become Invulnerable for 0.5 to 2 seconds.
- Explosive: Enemies now explode after 3 seconds, instead of 1.5 seconds. And the explosion now deals damage based on Base Max Life instead of actual Max Life.
We talked about a 5 second delay in The Slormite Chronicles but changed it back to something a little more challenging after further testing.
[h2]Life / Mana Leech Reworks[/h2]
- Life & Mana are now Leeched over a 5 second duration.
- Life & Mana stored over time cannot exceed your missing Life. The excess is not stored.

[h2]Craft Reworks[/h2]
Life/Mana On Hit/Kill
- Life Regeneration rolls (on a Level 60 Epic Item) have been increased from 11-23 to 23-46.

- These Stats differ depending on the current Equipment you're trying to craft.
[h2]Slorm Reaper Changes[/h2]
- Primordial Reaper of Vindictive Slam: Holy Ground can no longer stack above each other.
If a Holy Ground area was supposed to stack on top of another, it refreshes the duration of the other instead and increases its damage.
[h2]The Great Forge[/h2]
- Obelisk of Transmutation now reads: "While Obelisk of Transmutation is active, everytime an enemy dies, it restores Life equal to its Max Life to another random enemy." instead of "to all other enemies within a 5 yard radius."
[h2]The Slorm Temple[/h2]
- The Temple Keeper and his Traps should be slower overall on Floor 100 and Floor 150.
- Bridges from The Slorm Temple should rise faster.
- The size of each floor has been reduced by about 30 to 40%.
