  • Deluging Water Stone effect increased by 22%.
  • Desirous Blood Stone effect increased by 18.5%. Decreased trigger rate.
  • Echoing Thunder Stone effect increased by 12%.

    • Developers’ note: The intent here is to bring other Primordial Stones up to the competitive level where the Humming Arcane Stone is currently performing. Although, a portion of this level of performance can be attributed to a bug, even when fixed the Humming Arcane Stone was still the top performer. With these changes we’re hoping to make other combinations more viable in comparison, but not necessarily overtake it over from being the best option. In addition, area of effect stones have gotten a considerable increase to their output.
