Certain Voidcast Dais issues are tackled with the release, for example. More notably, it ensures everyone gets the Pandæmonium: Abyssos (Savage) Echo effect in Final Fantasy XIV.
Ahead of the update, Final Fantasy XIV might not have noticed the Echo triggering in Pandæmonium: Abyssos (Savage). This is a fairly substantial bonus. It increases the party’s health by 10%. When in effect, it will also make their healing abilities 10% more effective and increase damage from their attacks and skills by 10%.
As for Voidcast Dais and its Extreme variant, two notable fixes appeared. It fixed exploits that might have made the fight a little easier. One involved Double Meteor’s knockback not working properly. The other let someone use Eventide Fall or Eventide Triad to halt Golbez.
