Combat Balance Changes
Arcane Staffs
Magic Shock has had its stand time removed to make it smoother to play.
- Magic Shock (all Arcane Staffs)
- Stand time: 0.2s → 0s
Time Freeze’s stun duration against mobs has been reduced to match its PvP stun duration and limit its ability to trivialize PvE encounters.
- Time Freeze (Great Arcane Staff)
- Stun duration vs mobs: 3.5s → 2.5s
Axes
Spin to win. Me spin, me kill. Kill good.
- Whirlwind (Greataxe)
- Damage per tick for hitting the same target: 5 → 6.5 (Max damage: 411 → 433.5)
Razor Cut has been adjusted to hit targets more consistently at the cast position, and now has improved targeting on mobile and controller.
- Razor Cut (Bear Paws)
- Changed spell indicator to a circle showing the landing position
- Slightly expanded hit area under the caster
Fire Staffs
Fire Wave has had its cooldown reduced to help it act as a more reliable interrupt.
- Fire Wave (all Fire Staffs)
- Cooldown: 15s → 12s
Frost Staffs
Frostbite has had its stand time removed to help it feel more fluid to play.
- Frostbite (all Frost Staffs)
- Stand time: 0.15s → 0s
Holy Staffs
Spamming Reawaken on downed allies has become the go-to method for brute-forcing many difficult PvE fights. It’s time to get good and step out of the fire: only one resurrection per fight.
- Reawaken (all Holy Staffs)
- Allies who accept the resurrection now receive Awakening Sickness for 180s (cannot be Reawakened again during that time)
Maces
Incubus Mace has remained the premier PvE tank weapon thanks to its multiple powerful debuffs. At the same time, it has also been too effective in PvP situations like duo ganking and ZvZs, so its Max Health reduction has been reduced slightly to make it less of an “all-in-one” debuff.
- Shrinking Curse (Incubus Mace)
- Max health reduction: 25% → 20%
Quarterstaffs
Soulscythe hasn’t been keeping up in modern Albion large-scale PvP, so its projectile speed has been increased to make its group knockup more reliable.
- Tornado (Soulscythe)
- Now moves ~10% faster
Shapeshifter Staffs
Lightcaller has been dominating in Corrupted Dungeons and the Mists. Its extreme auto-attack range, combined with its Q detonation, has offered too little room for meaningful counterplay. Therefore its auto-attack range has been reduced.
- Dawnbird Transformation (Lightcaller)
- Attack range: 15m → 13m
The previous nerf to Tear Open’s Blood Pool charge requirement resulted in a more awkward play pattern, so this has been reverted in favor of a straightforward healing reduction to keep its total self-healing in check.
- Tear Open (Bloodmoon Staff)
- Blood Pool charge requirement: 2 → 1
- Blood Pool heal: 61 → 30
This change was introduced with Radiant Wilds Patch 1, but was accidentally omitted from the patchnotes. Neurotoxin has had its damage application adjusted to behave more consistently and better support a bruiser playstyle.
- Neurotoxin (Stillgaze Staff)
- Max stacks: 4 → 1
- Damage decrease per stack: 4% → 12%
- Tick interval: 0.8s → 1s
- Damage per tick: 6 → 25
Swords
Carving Sword has received many nerfs due to its strength in 1v1 and 2v2 content, and has since fallen out of favor in group-scale PvP. To help it regain relevance there, AoE escalation is now applied to its resistance reduction.
- Fearless Strike (Carving Sword)
- Resistance reduction now scales with AoE escalation
Soulless Stream’s area of effect duration has been cleaned up and reduced slightly to better match its visuals, and to make it less likely for opponents to step into invisible lingering hitboxes.
- Soulless Stream (Galatine Pair)
- Area lifetime: 0.8s → 0.7s
Armors
Speed Caster has had its cooldown reduced to help it line up better with classic combos like Brimstone, hopefully opening up more caster options in group PvP.
- Speed Caster (Scholar Robe)
- Cooldown: 35s → 30s
Knight Armor became an all-in-one chest armor, providing defensive peel for groups, aggressive crowd control, and purging, while also granting a personal defensive bonus. That personal defensive component has been removed to create clearer counterplay against tanks dismounting behind enemy groups to push them back with Wind Wall. In addition, its channel duration will no longer be reduced by incoming damage.
- Wind Wall (Knight Armor)
- Removed defense and CC resistance for hitting enemies
- Disruption factor: 1 → 0
Capes
Berserk can no longer be purged: may your rage be swift, unmitigated, and destructive.
- Berserk (Keeper Cape)
- Health percentage application: 70% → 80%
- Damage buff: 50% → 40%
- Cannot be purged
