Related Patch Notes

Patch Link	Date	Patch Name	Patch Notes
Version 18.110.1	13 October 2021	Call to Arms Patch 11	Enfeeble Blades was a very underrepresented ability. To give it a more useful role, it has been reworked into a ground target area which purges each enemy hit. Since the Locus is now cleanse-only, Lifecurse Staff can take over the role of AoE purging in large-scale fights. Enfeeble Blades (Lifecurse Staff): Can now be cast at the ground and no longer requires an ally target (Blades remain on the ground area) Is now a channeled ability, and the Blade area lasts for the channel duration The area now also continues purging enemy buffs on every hit (doesn't purge enemy HoT) Cast Range: 11m → 15m Cast Time: 1s → 0.6s Cast and channel are now uninterruptible Area Radius: 6m → 5m Area Duration: 5s → 4s Damage Debuff per Stack: 5% → 4% Debuff Max Stacks: 10 → 5 Cooldown now scales with Item Power: 900 Item Power: 50s 1700 Item Power: 34s
Version 18.100.1	21 September 2021	Call to Arms Patch 10	Cursed Staffs are another top pick for the 5v5 Crystal League. With the latest buffs to Dark Matter, the ability has become very dominant in 5v5s. While we are happy to see this ability back in the meta, it currently gives Cursed Staffs a little too much burst damage, which has been toned down somewhat. Dark Matter (all Cursed Staffs): Damage vs Players: 78 → 73
Version 18.060.1	31 May 2021	Call to Arms Patch 5/6 & Hotfix 6.1	Cursed Staffs Due to player feedback and its additional kiting potential in 1v1 situations, the range increase of Vile Curse has been reverted. The damage increase of the Haunting Screams, which was already gaining in popularity before patch 4, was slightly rolled back as well. Since the damage still cannot be reflected, it will remain threatening in bigger group fights. Vile Curse (all Cursed Staffs): Cast Range: 11m → 9m Haunting Screams (Cursed Skull): Damage per tick: 33 → 28
Version 18.040.1	6 May 2021	Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch)	Cursed Staffs Various underused Cursed Staff abilities were buffed, like Dark Matter and Cursed Beam. The range of Vile Curse was increased to make it more attractive in group PvP, where currently Cursed Sickle is the go-to choice. Armor Piercer is a staple of Cursed Staffs, but the armor shred was a bit too strong, and added too much of a damage spike to fights alongside its long range and short cooldown. Vile Curse (all Cursed Staffs): Cast Range: 9m → 11m Armor Piercer (all Cursed Staffs): Resistance Reduction: 0.2 → 0.17 Debuff Duration: 5s → 4s Cursed Beam (all Cursed Staffs): Now consumes Vile Curse stacks for additional AoE damage per tick For each tick that consumes a stack, the beam deals 72 magic damage in a 4m radius (instead of the base tick damage of 36 to only the beam target) Tick Interval: 1s → 0.5s Total Ticks: 5 → 10 Damage per Tick: 72 → 36 Dark Matter (all Cursed Staffs): Damage vs Players: 65.88 → 78 Damage vs Mobs: 32.94 → 36.7 Cast Time: 1s → 0.5s Cast Range: 11m → 13m Max Jump Distance to next enemy: 8m → 9m Haunting Screams (Cursed Skull): Damage can no longer be reflected Magic Damage per tick: 25 → 33
Version 1.17.403.172369	12 August 2020	Rise of Avalon Update and Hotfix 1, 2	Haunting Screams (Cursed Skull): After selecting the cast position, the move direction can now be selected independently Area Duration: 6s → 5s Area Move Distance 5m → 15m Area Move Speed: 0.83 m/s → 2.26 m/s Cast Time: 0.8s → 0.4s Tick Interval: every 1s → every 0.5s Damage per tick: 43.88 → 25.00 Additional damage vs players per tick: 2% of max health → 1.2% of max health Multiple areas can now be stacked again
Version 1.17.403.172369	12 August 2020	Rise of Avalon Update and Hotfix 1, 2	Avalonian Weapons are an entirely new line of Artifact Weapons and offhands, each with unique new abilities. They can be crafted with new Avalonian Artifacts, which can be obtained directly or forged from Avalonian Shards, which are dropped in Elite Dungeons and along the Roads of Avalon.
