Can we get a "Random Item" tab for chests. It was taking some players all day to manually random select gifts for xmas giveaways. Having the ability to randomly pick 1 item would help them a lot.

Very happy to see the new critical hit damage decrease stat. Will mobs will inherit this stat? Currently pve is dominated by physical crit damage. Builds focusing on physical base damage or magic damage (minus fire in some situations) need not apply. resists vs. magic is better balanced than DA/DR vs physical
