Prime: Ascent Drakania
Power trajectory
Since the 2026-02-12 rework: no measurable damage change yet. Before that: PvE +101% · PvP +5.9% (5 measurable changes since 2022-05-31)
Best-effort: compounds the 5 of 11 changes with a parseable damage swing; reworks and structural changes reset the baseline to 0, so the headline reads from the most recent reset. Dots link to their patch.
