Classes:

• Beorning - Normalized All Beorning skills to standardized progressions.
• Beorning - Now earn the ability to wear Heavy armor as of level 15.
• Beorning - Old Beorning armor sets have been converted to heavy armor statistically. (all appearances unchanged).
• Beorning - Level 116-120 Beorning armor has been converted to heavy, most lower level Beorning specific armor is otherwise unchanged.
• Beorning - Hearten cooldown increased (14->30).
• Beorning - Now learn 'Wanderlust' - the ability to use their bear form for out of combat travel - at level 75.
• Beorning - Yellow line 'In the Face Of' trait replaced with 'Overbearing'. This trait now grants a separate combat rez skill with a shorter induction, that does not replace the peaceful version of Bear Up.
• Beorning - Rez should now work consistently in combat.
• Beorning - Shake Free bubble now provides 10% morale bubble (15% at rank 2).
• Burglar - Reveal Weakness Cooldown reduced from 5s->2s.
• Burglar - Find Footing ONLY performs a CC break. Cooldown reduced to 120s ; Combat State breakouts for other classes have a much shorter cooldown. The Burglar needed its skill aligned, but for balance purposes we had to remove the bonus application of the "Touch and Go" effect.
• Burglar - Touch and Go: Restores 50% Morale, +25% Evade Chance, +15% Physical Mitigation, +15% Tactical Mitigation. Duration reduced to 10s ; Evade is not as helpful as direct mitigation in instances and raids, so we wanted to balance out some of the defensive bonuses. We also upped the heal from 25% of Max Morale to 50% because Burglar's medium armour makes them susceptible to big hits.
• Burglar - Debuff Duration from Burglar Skill "All In" reduced from 15s --> 10s.
• Burglar - Yellow Line Trait Opportunism damage increased.
• Burglar - "Reveal Weakness" Imbued Legacy now caps at 7.5% at Rank 64. This legacy has become overgrown, and for the sake of Instance and Raid balance it needs to be trimmed back some.
• Burglar - Skill "Reveal Weakness" now stacks 2 times instead of up to 3 times.
• Burglar - Skill "Reveal Weakness" now debuffs target Finesse, Critical Defence, and Resistance as part of the base skill.
• Burglar - The Gambler Set Bonus "Reveal Weakness" now increases its namesake skill's Finesse Debuff by 50%.
• Burglar - The Quiet Knife Set Bonus "Reveal Weakness" now increases its namesake skill's Critical Defence Debuff by 50%.
• Burglar - The Mischief-maker Set Bonus "Reveal Weakness" now increases its namesake skill's Resistance Debuff by 50%.
• Burglar - Imbued Legacy "Reveal Weakness Incoming Damage" now enhances Reveal Weakness debuff ratings for Critical Defence, Resistance, and Finesse starting at rank 65.
• Burglar - skill damage and DoT damage increased. With reveal weakness decreasing in potency, Burglar damage needed to increase to compensate.
• Guardian - Flash of Light damage moved to a normalized progression.
• Minstrel - Skill "Gift of the Hammerhand" now grants a bubble equal to 10% of the target's maximum morale before bonuses.
• Minstrel - Skill "Legend of Helm Hammerhand" now grants a bubble equal to 10% of the targets' maximum morale before bonuses.
• Minstrel - Skill "Story of the HammerHand" now grants a bubble equal to 10% of the target's maximum morale before bonuses.

  • The tier bonus effect descriptions have been cleaned up.

• The 'Forgotten Box Vendor' has been introduced to Lalia's market to allow players to purchase the older obsolete lockboxes.

  • Many level 40-50 items obtained from Angmar content have had their base stats improved to the approximate equivalent of similar Helegrod gear which had a more favorable itemization budget.
  • Many of the somewhat odd stats on these items have been retained, but as a rule all armor pieces have been updated so they at least grant a portion of their appropriate main stat and/or some vitality to make them more usable by their intended classes.
  • These pieces have NOT been fully modernized, so they rarely feature stats like finesse that are common later in the game.
