- Flesh Grenades now can be thrown by werewolves, and the werewolf transformation will no longer be removed when getting in proximity of a Flesh Grenade.

Public Dungeons

Rkindaleft
- The group event will now correctly take 20 minutes to respawn for anyone with the achievement, and two minutes to respawn for anyone without the achievement.

Imperial City
General

The area beneath the ladders in the Imperial Sewers will no longer have a location based immunity. Instead, anyone that enter the Sewers from the Districts will have a timed immunity buff similar to the buff when traveling from District to District.

- Werewolves can now throw Venom Grenades, and the werewolf transformation will no longer be removed when getting within proximity of a Venom Grenade.

- Monsters that are spawning in no longer attack immediately after the portal visuals have completed. This also fixes ranged attackers from squeezing in a ranged attack before being stunned when all the obelisks are clear of webs.

Arena 9: Theater of Despair
- After using a portal to travel to the upper level, the animations will be removed sooner, and you will not be stunned as long.

- Voriak Solkyn no longer immediately casts another ability after you successfully interrupt his Necrotic Swarm.
- Fixed an issue where killing a summoned Crematorial Guard would interrupt Voriak Solkyn's casting.
