Extra for veteran players: What has changed in Mod 29?

New Module: Mountain of Flame! - Source: https://www.playneverwinter.com/en/news-details/11569781

Mod 29 gave us the “Mountain of Flame” Campaign including a new (old) Dungeon ("Lair of the Mad Dragon"). Buildwise, nothing has really changed in the module. Endgame tanks still focus on increasing their damage output or their buff-capability to allies while capping the three most important defensive stats.

Here is a short list of the most important changes in Mod 29:

  • Three stats enchantments giving +20% stats!

    • Ammolite (Power / Combat Advantage / Crit Strike, Defense / Awareness / Critical Avoidance)

    • Fire Agate (Power / Crit Strike / Crit Severity, Awareness / Critical Avoidance / Deflection)

  • Fire-themed gear. With some interesting choices for head and underwear slots.

  • 4 new Insignia Bonuses:

    • Defender's Retort (Offensive, Recommended): Whenever you receive damage, explode in a 15' radius, dealing 200 magnitude damage to foes. This effect can only trigger once every 10 seconds.

    • Ally's Resilience (Supportive, only gives ratings to aliies): Whenever you receive damage you grant stacks of Ally's Resilience to all nearby teammates. Each stack gives 0.25% Defense and Deflect. Max 20 stacks from all sources. 10s duration.

    • Artificer's Enticement (Utility): Whenever you use an Artifact power, your cooldowns are reduced by 3 seconds. This effect overwrites Artificer's Persuasion.

    • Cavalry's Alarm (Utility): Whenever you activate a Mount Combat Power, you gain 3000 to all of your ratings for 20 seconds. This effect overwrites Cavalry’s Warning.

  • Three good new Artifacts:

    • Heart of the Volcano (Debuff Artifact, 1800 IL, 15% Stamina Regeneration, Defensive Stats, finally replacing Journals)

    • Jewel of the Caldera (Debuff Artifact, 1800 IL, +100% Threat buffing set)

    • Searing Conduit of Magma (22.35% additive damage Artifact, 1800 IL)

  • 2200 IL Companion Gear featuring Awareness and Critical Avoidance. This is an important change, because tanks can now swap out Jade Enchantments for Critical Avoidance companion gear! This makes space for using the three stat Enchanments!

  • New mounts: Bestial Fire Archon with its power "Hot Streak"

  • A new Companion "Diana the Acrobat", that increases the Movement Speed of allies by 10%!

  • Several new Overloads: Fiend Slayers and Fiend Wards and Sword Coast Tactician / Elemental Overloads and Giant Overloads from The Mount of Flame Head Start Pack.

  • A new campaign with 4 Boons

  • A new dungeon: "Lair of the Mad Dragon"

  • The Dragonfire got nerfed. The dots duration got shortened from 10s to 6s. This results in a nerf of 30% - 40%. However, for endgame content its buggy scaling makes it still the number 1 choice.
