- Order's Wrath - Increases your critical damage and critical healing by 8%.
- Serpent's Disdain - Increases the duration of status effects you apply by 16 seconds.

- Coral Riptide - Increase your weapon and spell damage by up to 740 based on your missing stamina. The perfected version grants an extra 1487 offensive penetration.

- Whorl of the Depths - When you deal damage with a light attack, you apply a Whorl of the Depths to the target, dealing Frost damage over 8 seconds. When this effect ends, a 5 meter whirlpool is created under the target for 6 seconds, and deals frost damage every 1 second. This effect can occur every 18 seconds and scales off the higher of your weapon or spell damage. The perfected version of the set also gives you 657 critical chance.

New Mythic Items in High Isle

At 20 stacks, this damage will also stun for 3 seconds. This effect scales off the higher of your Weapon or Spell damage.
- Mora's Whispers - Gain up to 1528 Critical Chance and 10% increased Inspiration, Alliance Rank, Alliance Skill and monster kill experience based off how many books of Shalidor’s Library have been collected.
