RIFT 1.4.1 Hot Fix – 2 #RiftGame

PLAYER VS PLAYER
*We’ve made a series of changes to Valor rewards and have introduced a new PvP Stat called “Vengeance” please click here for the full details.
*Valor has been normalized across all PvP Rank Sets available from PvP merchants. All full sets now provide 751 Valor (30.04% Damage Reduction). There is no cap on Valor and it can continue to be obtained from essences, accessories, runes, etc.
*Added a new PvP stat, Vengeance. Vengeance acts as spell power or attack power for an ability and increases damage/healing in the same way, but only in player-versus-player combat.
*Reduced the overall power gained from 4 piece set bonuses on PvP armor sets. Half the bonus is now granted via Vengeance, which only increases power in PvP combat.
*To align these items with their level of difficulty to obtain we have reduced the overall power granted from Whispered Silence, Words of War, Cavernous Nothing and Recaptured Knowledge. Half of the new bonus is now provided as Vengeance. Passive Attack Power and Spell Power bonuses have also been removed.
*PvP Rifts: The prestige bonus from PvP Rifts now only applies to player kills, not completing quests.
*Escalation Whitefall Steppes:
– Fixed a bug where sometimes a stone at your base was not counting toward your total points!
– Increased time between sourcestone spawns after capture from 30 seconds to 45 seconds and increased the time for a tie breaker to spawn to 1:30 seconds.
*PvP Vendors in Meridian and Sanctum should now correctly display your total amount of Favor and Marks of Retribution.
*PvP Rifts: Fixed an issue in which channeling abilities were giving you contribution even if you were just dueling around a PvP rift.
*Warfronts: Fixed an issue where, on occasion, you were not immediately removed from the warfront raid upon exiting a warfront.
*Bonus reward versions of The Black Gardens, The Codex and Port Scion are now part of the Warfront Weekend rotation.
