• Characters with Greater Rage, gained at barbarian level 11, now get +10 Melee Power while the rage is active.

Combat

• Ballistas fired by monsters (such as those in Epic Storm the Beaches) now wait longer to fire when their target emerges from behind cover. Shots from these ballistas also no longer hit enemies through cover.

DDO Store

• Lasting Ability Score potions (like Bull's Might, Fox's Cunning, etc.) now have a one hour duration and pause in public areas, and have been renamed "Long Lasting".
• The "Panther Cub" family of Creature Companions has been renamed to "Great Cat."

Enhancements

• Barbarian Frenzied Berserker's Storm's Eye now costs 1 Action Point, and has had its functionality updated to read:
  • Activate: You gain 25 stacks of Storm's Eye. Cooldown is 150 seconds.
  • Storm's Eye: +1 melee damage. One stack fades away every three seconds.
  • Passive: +4 Constitution, +10 Melee Power. When raging your melee attacks have a 5% chance to deal 400 bludgeoning damage. This damage scales with 100% Melee Power.
• Barbarian Frenzied Berserker's Accelerate Metabolism is now 3d6, and adds 20 Healing Amplification while raging.
• Barbarian Occult Slayer's Mind Over Magic's bonus to Spell Resistance no longer sometimes disappears when refreshing a buff you already have that affects Constitution.
• Barbarian Occult Slayer's One Spirit now costs 100 Weapon Bond, and heals for a base 400.
• Barbarian Ravager's Visage of Terror no longer sometimes fails to function after expending all Rage charges (and then resting to get charges back.)
• Barbarian Ravager's Strength bonuses on Tier 3 and 4 now actually increase your Strength.
• Barbarian Ravager's Blood Strength tooltip now properly reflects its 12% effect chance.
• Barbarian Ravager's Pain Touch no longer has a cooldown.

Epic Destinies

• Exalted Angel's Purity of Essence now gives the correct values of Healing Amplification - 6/12/20 total.

Feats

• Single Weapon Fighting feats had previously been granting too much bonus damage based on ability score. This has now been corrected to match the text (up to +50% damage, the same as Two-Handed Fighting.)

Items

• Golem's Heart no longer triggers at times when it should not.
• The description of the Glamered Weapon Aura has been adjusted to clarify that the auras do not work with shields.

Monster Champions

• Monster Champions no longer spawn in quests below level 5. Quests which are level 3 on Normal would not have Champions on Hard, but would on Elite, since Elite difficulty would bring the quest level to 5.
