Berserker

Lancer

• Divine Protection

• [PvP ─ Battlegrounds] Can no longer be used.

• Overall skill damage has not been changed.

• Spring Attack

• Doubled innate crit chance.

• Reduced base skill damage by 33.5%.

• [PvP] Doubled skill damage.

Design Note: Spring Attack is a skill with an infamously low crit rate, so doubling its crit chance will make it both more consistent and deal more damage. Instead of reducing its damage by half to compensate, we left Spring Attack in a slightly stronger place than before to promote a more balanced playstyle for Lancers. 

Mystic

• [PvP ─ Champion’s Skyring] Equalized gear now reduces damage taken by an additional 10%.

• Summon: Group

• Increased base cooldown from 10 → 30 minutes.

• [PvP ─ Civil Unrest] Removed debuff which increases Summon: Group cooldown.

• The thrall now spawns sooner.

Priest

• [PvE] Increased damage by 15%.

• Mass Divine Intervention

• Reduced range to 19 meters.

• Summon: Group

• Increased base cooldown from 10 → 30 minutes.

• Overhand Strike

• Increased innate crit chance against monsters during In Cold Blood by 25%.

• Reduced base cooldown from 4 → 3.5s.

Design Note: (PvP) Fury Strike no longer scaling on HP gives the skill an overwhelmingly powerful presence. Slayer is already a divisive class when it comes to its overall prowess, so we’ve reduced Fury Strike’s damage to bring its performance to as close as possible to pre-buff.

Sorcerer

• Nova

• Changed the effective range of Nova from 13 → 15.2 meters.

• This was done by changing the skill’s radius from 5 → 7 meters and the skill’s offset distance from 7 → 8.2 meters resulting in an effective range increase of 2.2m.
