Version 18.090.1	28 July 2021	Call to Arms Patch 9	Added four new icons to better represent the corresponding abilities: Blood Bandit (One-Handed Axe, E-slot) Protective Beam (Enigmatic Staff, E-slot) Arcane Orb (One-Handed Arcane Staff, E-slot) Ground Shaker (Maces, W-slot)
Version 18.090.1	28 July 2021	Call to Arms Patch 9	Daggers Deadly Swipe now consumes more energy when used purely for mobility, but is more energy efficient in fights, even in PvE. Chain Slash's first hit had too much value, so its damage output was adjusted to increase with each chained hit, reducing its damage in 1v1, but also adding a more interesting dynamic by rewarding multiple hits in group fights. Forbidden Stab can now completely negate any healing and interrupts spell casting. This new strong-but-short debuff places more emphasis on the timing of the ability activation. Deadly Swipe (all Daggers): Energy Cost: 6 → 7 Energy Regain on hit: 2 → 4 Energy is now also regained when hitting mobs (no longer limited to enemy players) Forbidden Stab (all Daggers): Hit Delay: 0.1s → 0s Standtime: 0.2s → 0.1s Removed the Healing Received and Healing Cast Debuff Instead, the target won't be able to receive any healing for 1.5s (this debuff is cleanseable) The ability now also interrupts enemy spell casting Chain Slash (all Daggers): Damage now increases with each consecutive hit: Damage 1st Hit: 120 → 90 Damage 2nd Hit: 120 → 110 Damage 3rd Hit: 120 → 130 Damage 4th Hit: 120 → 150
