Skill Changes

• Overload: reduced recharge to 5 seconds; changed functionality to: "Hex Spell. For 5 seconds, target foe suffers 1...3 Health degeneration. If target foe is using a skill, then Overload deals 15...75 damage to that foe and all adjacent foes."

Each second while hexed, target foe and all foes adjacent to that foe take 1...10 damage and an additional 1...10 damage for each second this spell is in effect. This hex ends prematurely if the target foe uses a skill."

Guild Battle Mechanics

For more information on these changes, please see the Developer Updates page.

• The Bodyguard no longer uses Oath of Protection.
• The Guild Lord now uses Entourage: "For 15 seconds, the Guild Lord is shielded by his guards. He takes no more than 30 damage from each attack or skill and takes 30 less damage each second. This skill can only be used if there are more defending NPCs than attackers."
  • This skill cannot be interrupted, disabled, or removed.
• Aggressiveness calculations now account for Entourage and effects that cause missed attacks. As always, stacking defensive effects on a Guild Lord is viewed as a sign that your opponent is being aggressive. In Guild Battles where neither Guild Lord is killed, the team displaying more aggressiveness wins.

• Wastrel's Demise (PvP): split for PvP; increased recharge to 15 seconds.

• Armor of Sanctity: added to the restricted list for Codex Arena.
• Symbols of Inspiration: added to the restricted list for Codex Arena.
• Visions of Regret: added to the restricted list for Codex Arena.

• Fixed a text bug that caused failed Assassin chain attacks to display "miss" instead of "fail."
