We focused on Gameplay tweaks this patch. Fixing some of the class imbalances and making abilities more reliable and powerful.
We wanted to make the Warrior Heavy Attack more viable in combat, so we shortened the cast time and reduced the damage slightly. The Warrior Whirlwind duration is now shorter making it less penalizing for use in certain situations.
We made the Mage shields more powerful and straight forward so they block every attack while activated.
The Assassin lunge has been nurfed damage wise but it now accurately applies bonus attacks from the Gems, which should make it more useful to combo. Also Cursed Blades will be up more frequently but the window to use it is shorter so timing becomes much more important to the combo.
