The latest set of hotfixes for Phase 8 of Season of Discovery has made available a new Scarlet Enclave tier set for Paladins that can be exchanged for Holy or Retribution pieces. This set includes new stats and bonuses to enable a spell power-based DPS build popularly known as Shockadin.

In addition to the new set, the New Avalon Mage Tower enchanting recipes have been changed to require 280 Enchanting skill instead of 300.

Season of Discovery

The Abandoned Experiment will no longer play its proc sound effect while you are at maximum stacks.
Paladin
- Leonid Barthalomew now temporarily exchanges the Scarlet Enclave Holy to Shockadin tier set (in addition to the Retribution to Shockadin set exchange). These will be removed from the vendor list on May 20.
- The Shockadin 6-piece set bonus has been adjusted – Now grants 8% spell power per stack of Holy Power consumed while using a one-handed weapon, and 18% spell power per stack of Holy Power consumed when using a 2-handed weapon (was 15% spell power per stack of Holy Power consumed).
Enchanting
- Access to the New Avalon Mage Tower now requires Enchanting 280 (was 300), matching the requirements of the rest of the puzzle.
