Version 0.16.0
Released on January 25th, 2025. The original [1] are accessible on GitLab.
Foreword
- This will not be the final balance. Many things will still be tweaked based on feedback and more tests done by Waf.
- Many zones have also been re-balanced and tweaked. Again, this is not final.
Performance
- The Physics Engine and Pathfinder have been replaced by modules built in Rust (better performance)
- The Static File Server has been replaced by a Rust server (better performance)
Features
- New item stats: Added Attack Damage and Added Spell Damage that adds flat (un-scaled) damage to all attacks and spells
- Upon logging in, all your items will receive new internal stats that record how perfectly its stats are rolled. These stats are versioned and will be used in the future to perform auto-rebalance when IWD balance changes again
- Two new item name prefixes have been added: Mystic and Riven
- Two new item name suffixes have been added: Purge and Cleaver. The latter being for weapons only
Balance
- Passive health regeneration now gets a 5% increase from the Health Regeneration item stat. Down from 20%
- When gaining health from the Life on Hit item stat, the life gained is now divided by 20 / Rune Cooldown
- Innervate now grants the user ceil((playerHealth / 100) * runeRegenPercentage) * 20), up from floor((playerHealth / 100) * runeRegenPercentage)
- When a rune has no cast time, attack/cast speed will reduce its cooldown by ceil(runeCooldown * (1 - (attackOrCastSpeed / 100)))

Now, mobs receive a full set of legendary items with only main stat rolled on them with a perfection of 2% per roll for regular mobs, 4% for rare mobs, 4% for dungeon mobs, 5.5% for dungeon rares and 7.5% for bosses.
Mob health is now also multiplied by 2 for regular mobs (up from 1), 5 for rare mobs (up from 3), and bosses have received custom scaling.
Mob damage is now multiplied by 1 for rare mobs (down from 1.5)
