Reaper Difficulty

Reaper Difficulty offers a new challenge for the toughest adventurers! Reaper difficulty can be selected from the quest portal UI for many quests and raids throughout the game. When you select Reaper difficulty, there is also a drop-down list of between one and ten Skulls, which affects quest/raid difficulty and reward. Special Reaper Bonuses can be found on items acquired in Reaper Difficulty, there is an increased chance to get named items, and you'll earn Reaper Experience. Reaper XP will award a Reaper Point at certain thresholds that can be spent on abilities in a special Reaper benefit tree, among other things! Warning: Reaper difficulty is meant for players who enjoy a serious challenge. You have been warned!


News and Notes
Champions

    The Champion system has been updated. Champion crowns will now designate whether the Champion is Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3. Champion buffs now randomly pick between a set of template themes after the Outer and Inner Planes where they get their boost.
    Champions still do not appear on Normal, and will only be Tier 1 on Hard. Elite will have Tiers 1 and 2, while Reaper difficulty will have up to Tier 3.
    The global damage modifier for champions has been reduced to account for new abilities. This does not affect mini boss champions.
    Players can see the kind of Champion they are fighting by looking at the creature's title. Additional detail can be found in the examination window.
    Red-named bosses can no longer be Champions.
    Fixed some stacking damage-over-time effects on Champions that were not applying correctly.
    Champion damage-over-time effects on players now last for ten seconds per stack instead of six.
    Most defender NPCs and allies will no longer be eligible for Champion status.
    Champion titles appear when overhead health bars are visible


Classes

Combat

    Shiv’s bluff now effects red named bosses again for the purposes of sneak attack
    Monster Assist range has been reduced. Monsters will not share aggro if a player in stealth kills them unless their friends are actually looking at them. This allows an assasin to attack monsters in stealth as long as they also manage monsters site lines.
    Death effects including Warlock Feat Hurl through Hell and the spell Trap the Soul are now properly blocked by death wards. These effects will continue to work on undead or monsters who are only protected by their own racial traits, genius or other effects. But will be specifically blocked by death ward effects.
