changedChangesMonsters no longer roll for higher rarities until level 6 (previously level 3), keeping early encounters more manageable for new players.

fixedFixesFixed Burning damage double-dipping with Inferno: burn ticks no longer get amplified by Inferno stacks a second time, since the burn pool is already calculated from amplified damage. Stacks still accumulate from burn ticks.

fixedFixesFixed Burning debuff showing "Remaining damage: 0" with nearly full duration left — the burn pool now drains by the base tick amount rather than the amplified amount.

fixedFixesFixed Infernal Feedback gem combo incorrectly using cumulative damage dealt instead of current remaining damage for its feedback calculation.

fixedFixesTotem effects (Air Totem, Grounding Totem, etc.) and other encounter-start effects now apply before turn order is determined, so initiative modifiers correctly influence who acts first.
