===DLC Game Pack===
====New Dungeons: Bloodroot Forge & Falkreath Hold====
We've introduced two new four-player dungeons, available as part of the Horns of the Reach DLC Game Pack!
*Bloodroot Forge
**The Bloodroot Forge had been buried and hidden away for longer than any could remember, until the unification of Reachmen and Minotaur facilitated its rediscovery. Now, the fires of the ancient forge burn anew and the power emanating from it is palpable. Only blood and sacrifice to untamed nature can unlock its true potential and the Reachmen are generous in their offerings.
**You can find the entrance to Bloodroot Forge in southern Craglorn, west of Elinhir.
*Falkreath Hold
**Falkreath is under attack by the combined forces of the fearsome Minotaur Domihaus the Bloody Horned and his Reachman marauder allies. This army of "beastmen" have adopted his visage when launching their attacks to inspire fear and terror, with much success. You must enter Falkreath and defend the hold as enemies pour through its broken walls set on its destruction.
**Falkreath Hold can be reached by taking the cart in front of the Gate north-east of Elinhir.
*Both Dungeons include a Normal version in addition to a challenging Veteran version.

===Combat Fixes & Improvements===
General
*In an effort to reduce the visual effect noise in group combat situations, we've hidden most visual effects from persistent damaging area of effect abilities cast by your allies. Area of effect abilities that have a synergy, healing, or defensive component that can benefit you will still be visible, and area of effect abilities cast by enemies will also still be visible.
**Affected player abilities include the following:
***Ash Cloud and its morphs
***Caltrops and its morphs
***Elemental Storm and its morphs
***Hurricane
***Impaling Shards and its morphs
***Path of Darkness and the Twisting Path morph
***Rune Focus and its morphs
***Scorch
***Volatile Familiar Special Ability
***Volley and its morphs
***Wall of Elements and its morphs
**Affected Item Set abilities include the following:
***Bahraha's Curse
***Essence Thief
***Grothdarr
***Hand of Mephala

***Infernal Guardian
***Leeching Plate
***Nerien'eth
***Sellistrix
***Sheer Venom
***Storm Knight's Plate
***Thunderbug's Carapace
***Tremorscale
***Velidreth
***Winterborn
****Developer Comments: Having less visual effects on your screen improves both visual clarity and performance, which makes it easier to respond to the more important visuals that come from enemy attacks.
*Summoned pets will no longer despawn and respawn when attempting to follow you. 
*Fixed an issue where permanently summoned pets, such as the Unstable Familiar or Wild Guardian, would cause you to unsheathe your weapons every time you zoned into a new area.
*Fixed an issue where the cooldown buff from Spear Shards and Necrotic Orb's synergy had different names.
*Sending your combat pet to attack an enemy (default Y + Left click) now waits until your pet reaches its target to start combat.
*Non-combat pet names now more accurately reflect the creature's name.
*Fixed a specific case where some charge and leap abilities (such as Critical Charge or Dragon Leap) were displaying their animation and visual effects but not actually moving you to the enemy target.
*Fixed an issue where targeting an enemy could interfere with your ability to resurrect a dead ally.
*Fixed an issue if you used sprint and Light Attacks at the same time, the Light Attack animation would not display properly.
*Fixed an issue where the Minor Slayer buff was being removed if you equipped multiple Item Sets that granted the buff.
*Improved the reliability of CC (crowd control) immunity when other status effects are on you.
**For example, you can now reliably break CC after being CC'd while sprinting.
*Fixed an issue where Two Handed, One Hand and Shield, and Dual Wield Heavy Attacks could not proc weapon enchantments or poisons.
====Itemization Balance====
Weapon Traits
Developer Comments: Similar to how Mundus Stones were changed, Weapon Trait values have also been rebalanced with a focus on improving overall diversity. Weapon Trait values have a 1:1 pairing with the effectiveness of Mundus Stones; this means if you want armor, you can get the Lady Mundus Stone or a Defending weapon and they will both give you 2752 armor.
Prosperous was completely re-designed as it was redundant with the increased armor durability of Impenetrable. It will grant a new combat function, and will be an interesting choice for builds seeking to maximize resource recovery gains. Pairing the Divines trait with a recovery Mundus Stone will grant more recovery for that one particular stat, but Prosperous will grant more recovery overall.
*Adjusted the values and bonuses of Weapon Traits in the following ways, with the listed values being for Two-Handed, gold-quality items:
**Decisive: Increased the chance to generate one additional Ultimate to 40% from 34%.
**Defending: Reduced the Spell and Physical Resistance granted to 2752 from 5160.
**Infused: Increased the bonus value granted to the applied enchantment to 30% from 20%, and increased the cooldown reduction to the applied enchantment to 50% from 40%.
**Nirnhoned: Increased the bonus to the weapon's damage to 15% from 11%.
**Powered: Increased the bonus to healing done to 9% from 7%.
**Sharpened: Reduced the Spell and Physical Penetration granted to 2752 from 5160.
**Charged, Intricate, Ornate, Precise and Training remain unchanged.
*The Prosperous Armor Trait has been re-designed to give it a combat function. It now grants 11 Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery as a gold-quality item, instead of gold gain. Due to these changes, this trait has been renamed to Invigorating.
*Reduced the damage on the Damage Health (Oblivion) weapon enchantment by approximately 36%.
**Developer Comments: This change puts the damage enchantment from Oblivion at a similar value to other enchantments after Battle Spirit has been factored. Since Oblivion damage cannot critically strike, it will be less useful against lightly-armored targets but more effective against heavily-armored targets or targets that spend a lot of time blocking.
*Weapon enchantments will no longer proc if the initial attack is dodged.
*Only the weapon you are currently holding will now proc enchantments.
**This resolves some issues where you would cast an ability then weapon swap, and your weapon enchantment would proc from the weapon you weren't currently holding.
Item Sets
Developer Comments – "Proc Set" changes and Monster Mask balance: Item Sets have received two major rebalancing efforts this update with a focus on introducing more counterplay to certain Item Set procs and improving diversity in Monster Mask choices.
To introduce more counterplay to certain Item Set procs, we've changed the method in which they deal damage. While we are happy with the current damage values of these Item Sets, having them deliver that damage in unavoidable bursts has led to an unsatisfying PvP experience. The procs of these Item Sets now have unique mechanics to delay their damage, along with accompanying visual effects to allow more time to react to them.
To go hand-in-hand with the release of two new Monster Mask Item Sets, we've rebalanced most of the older Monster Masks. To ensure that every Monster Mask conforms to similar Damage, Healing, and Survivability standards, most Monster Masks were brought up in power though a few were adjusted slightly downward.
The bonus for having 5 pieces is approximately 2.31x the value of a one-piece bonus. For example, you can get a set bonus of 129 Spell Damage, or a 5-piece bonus of 299 Spell Damage on Julianos.
Some sets, such as Necropotence, have conditional bonuses. Since it's harder to get these bonuses, we are allowing them to provide up to a 25% increase over other sets. This is why now gives 2540 max resource and Necropotence now gives 3150.
*Universally adjusted the values of some 1, 2, 3, and 4-piece bonus stats for all Item Sets:
**Max Health, Magicka, or Stamina has been increased by 13.3%
**Weapon Critical or Spell Critical rating has been increased by 21%
**Physical or Spell Resistance has been increased by 13.8%
**Physical or Spell Penetration has been decreased by 22%
*Any monster summoned by an Item Set proc now inherits any bonuses you have. The most notable bonuses are damage done and healing done from passive abilities, Major/Minor buffs, or the Champion System.
*Amber Plasm: Decreased the Magicka and Stamina Recovery granted by this Item Set to 250 from 300.
*Beekeeper's Gear: Decreased the Health Recovery granted by this Item Set to 400 from 500.

*Plague Doctor: Decreased the Max Health granted by this Item Set to 4000 from 6000.
*Poisonous Serpent: Increased the proc chance of this Item Set to 50% from 25%, but decreased the damage to 3400 Poison Damage from 6800 Poison Damage.

**Increased the duration of the Minor Maim debuff applied by this Item Set to 10 seconds from 5 seconds.
