Patch: 1.09.2

-Global Damage Hitlayer Changes-

Currently there's nearly no source of "Increased Damage" outside Grenadier so I wanted to streamline the concept a bit more. "Bonus Damage" is a term reserved for skills to make their additive nature more prominent. Some Sneaking/Stealth Bonus Damage will be changed to "Increased Damage" to prevent diminishing the value of using AP to sneak. Some stealth skills already say "Increased". Other special scaling skills like Wake of Phantasms, Ice Breaker and Extravasate will be "More Damage". The reason for keeping specific scaling skills separate from Bonus Damage (which they already were) is to prevent skills like Death Wish from diminishing their unique interactions. Talents will now use the key word "More" as well. In most cases this works the same as it has. It's just to avoid confusion with Stealth damage and skills that said "Bonus Damage" which were in fact cherry picked "More Damage" interactions.

Mathematically this looks like: Damage * (Increased Damage) * (Bonus Damage + Bonus Damage) * More Damage * More Damage = Result.

-New-

- Opportunist V2 - Gain the ability to take advantage of combat conditions allowing attacks of opportunity. These attacks deal 20% more damage. In addition when an opponent is rendered helpless by loss of control statuses take advantage by landing an opposing armor type control status. The resulting effect will free them but deal savage damage and hinder based on the control type. Attacks from this talent are not subject to reflected damage.

Frozen = 120 degree 6m Cone dealing Avg lvl 90% Water/Physical. Applies Blind.
Petrified = 4m AoE explosion dealing Avg Lvl 100% Earth/Physical. Applies Silence.
Stunned = Projectile that forks 2 times dealing Avg Lvl 85% Air/Physical. Applies Dazed.

- Sursia V2 - Probably most "Cool on paper" encounter designs has been reworked. New visuals, tweaked/new mechanics, new voice lines and improved production quality. This is pretty much a new encounter with a few familiar interactions.
- Sleeping Arms Rework - If performed while sneaking and the target is silenced deal 50% increased damage applying atrophy through armor.

HotFix: 1.09.195

-Changes-

- Active Defense Rework: There is a bug with the Vanilla game which causes the owner of an Active Defense to end their turn if they themselves trigger the effect. As a result all such effects have been fully scripted to overcome this flaw. This includes Flaming Tongues, Reactive Shot, Healing Tears, Captain's Set Aura and Inner Demon. These scripted versions emulate the originals but with slight differences. All effect will proc if a character starts their turn in the area. Only one proc can occur on a character per round. Unlike normal Active Defense, moving into an enemy can proc the effect.
