General Changes

• Dodge has been disabled.
• The ability to cancel levitate by firing your gauntlets has been removed. You must now stop levitating (release the spacebar) before you can fire your gauntlets.

Class & Gauntlet Changes

Lightning / Conduit

• The Lightning Gauntlet is now a burst-fire weapon, akin to its pre-alpha behavior, but with faster bursts and a quicker gap between bursts.
• The projectile speed has been decreased.
• Damage has been changed to reflect this new behavior:
  • Common: 3
  • Uncommon: 4
  • Rare: 5
  • Epic: 6
  • Legendary: 7

Ice / Frostborn

• The movement speed penalty while charging the Ice Gauntlet has been increased from 0.75x normal speed to 0.5x normal speed.
• Sprint speed on ice has been reduced from 1440 to 960.
• The Freeze Slow Effect (aka Chilly) has returned with the following changes:
  • Ice trail mist duration increased from 0.5s to 3s.
  • Ice cloud mist duration increased from 1s to 3s.
  • Chilly's lasting effect after leaving the mist is reduced from 2s to 1s.
  • Chilly will initially affect animations and speed less, but the effect will ramp up the longer you are within it until you are completely frozen.
• The Ice Gauntlet now deals 75% damage if you are within 15m of your target.
• Class level skills have been reordered and changed:
  • Level 1 - Frozen Alacrity: Ice trails return to level 1 under this new name. The faster acceleration on ice trails has been removed from this skill.
  • Level 2 - Icicle: Returns to level 2. It now gains the faster acceleration on ice trails from the old Frozen Alacrity and increases skating speed on ice trails by 50% (to 1440).
  • Level 3 - Tundra: The full immunity to damage has been removed. Instead, you now gain 30 temporary Armor when casting.

Pyromancer

• Level 1 - Lasting Burn: Firewalls now deal double damage over 2 seconds. Enemies ignited by your firewalls take less damage per tick (3) but stay ignited for longer (4s).
• Level 3 - Ignite: On a direct fireball hit, you ignite your target for 2 seconds.

Stoneshaper

• Bedrock: The increased shockwave length has been reduced from +50% to +25%.

Toxic

• The random angle spread of the toxic gauntlet is now 0, meaning every shot follows a consistent and even spread.
• The spread of toxic projectiles has been reduced from 4.5 to 4 degrees.
• Instead of projectile "thresholds" dictating damage, each projectile now counts individually towards the maximum damage (damage values remain unchanged).
• Toxic projectile lifetime has been decreased from 1s to 0.75s.

Talents

• Blight:
  • No longer slows potion consume speed.
  • Increased healing reduction to 20/30/40/50%.

• Berserker Belt:
