To make sure Pest Lizards can't chain-CC targets, enemies now have a full 6s immunity to a subsequent Toxic Cloud.

| Version 1.16.393.162877 | 25 March 2020 | Queen Patch 8 | Mounts
You now benefit from the Carry Weight Bonus from all mounts, excluding transport and battle mounts, just by equipping the mount. The bonus applies even if you are dismounted or move outside of the mount circle. This means players keep the load bonus while on foot, after getting dismounted, when entering a dungeon, etc. This new system scales with the mount's Item Power (hence the carry weight changes reflected below), and also adjusts the load progression over tiers. |
