Endless Leveling - V9

EndlessLeveling 10.6.0

This update focuses on combat correctness, class balance, weapon scaling, and quality-of-life improvements.

⚔️ Combat & Balance

• Added a new Life Force Restriction mechanic for supported classes.
  • Prevents investing skill points into Life Force (existing points are automatically refunded).
  • Converts bonus Life Force from equipment, augments, and other bonuses into Strength while still retaining the full maximum health gained.
  • Corrected the conversion formula so it now properly uses bonus Life Force rather than base values.
  • Bonus Life Force sources such as Goliath, Raid Boss, Tank Engine, Grasp, and other %/flat Life Force bonuses now correctly contribute to the Strength conversion.
• Endure Pain
  • Fixed a bug where leap abilities could incorrectly generate a delayed "phantom bleed" after landing.
  • Fixed lethal Endure Pain bleed damage bypassing survival and revival effects. Revival passives such as Rebirth, Fortress, Undying Rage, Nesting Doll, and Bailout now trigger correctly before death.
• BattleMage and Juggernaut
  • Reduced their Critical Damage effectiveness penalty from -35% → -15%.
  • A previous Health scaling bug caused Health-stacking builds to overperform well beyond their intended strength. With that issue now fixed, their intended Health-focused playstyle remains their strongest build, while Critical Damage builds have been brought back into a competitive state to provide more meaningful build variety.
• Critical Damage effectiveness modifiers are now calculated through a unified additive system, allowing class passives and augments to stack consistently.
  • Colossus Edge now applies -10% effective Critical Damage.

🏹 Weapons

• Fixed Shortbow: Azure Vortex not benefiting from Magic Bow scaling due to weapon classification.
• Improved weapon classification by introducing explicit weapon type definitions, ensuring weapon-specific effects and scaling are applied consistently.

🎨 User Interface

• The Utility augment category now has its own dedicated section instead of appearing within the Common category, making the Augment interface easier to navigate.

🛡️ Raids

• Fixed an issue where players who had already completed a raid shard could be incorrectly teleported into another active shard if the hub portal re-triggered while a sibling shard was still running.
