Patch Notes

1.2.3

• This passive ability now increases spell power in addition to weapon power. Its stun duration increase has also been added to the tooltip.

6.1.5

• This passive's Weapon and Spell Damage is now granted to your damaging attacks against enemies you are flanking, rather than granting a universal amount while sneaking or invisible.
• The Weapon and Spell Damage is now a flat 129/258, rather than granting 5/10% of your current amount.

6.2.5

• This passive now increases your Physical and Spell Penetration against targets you are flanking by 1487/2974, rather than your Weapon and Spell Damage against them by 129/258.
  • Developer Comment: While this passive is now in a much better place regarding its accessibility and use cases from Update 27, the class was performing a bit too well in high end PvE DPS. With the adjustment to Penetration, you can expect a little more damage in non-optimized PvE and PvP encounters against high mitigation targets, while tuning back some of their scaling in high end PvE content and specialized gank builds in PvP.
