General Changes​

UI / Effects​

  • Talent icons have been updated to reflect the talent categorization changes from the previous patch.
  • Some duplicate Talent Icons now have their own unique visuals:
    • Intelligent
    • Scavenging
    • Focused Mana
  • Fixed a missing visual effect when shooting lightning that was introduced in the last patch.

General Gameplay​

  • Removed the ability to "double shot" with the Dodge mechanic.
  • You are now able to carry multiple gauntlets and runes in your inventory without needing the Spellslinger talent.
  • Fixed an issue that caused a game crash when Lightning and Wind interacted.

Items​

  • Items have been rebalanced. Please see the provided spreadsheet for full details.
  • Old items that did not grant Mana, Armour, or Speed on pickup now do.
  • Items that had similar effects to others but were of a lower rarity have been vaulted for now.
  • All remaining Equipment has been added into the Battle Royale loot pool.
    • Known Bug: The practice range will spawn random equipment of equal "rarity".
  • With the above changes and rebalancing to Equipment, the previous house rule against "Double Dipping" is now gone. Theorycraft your builds!
