Ula'tek's Gift, a Corrosive Codex power from the Vaults of Atal'Utek, deals 30% less damage, with additional 60% reductions to its effects in PvP.

Patch 12.1 hotfixes let players summon campaign-incomplete characters to Vaults of Atal’Utek, while fixing Delves, dungeon encounters, PvP bugs, professions, quests, and more.
