| Version 18.110.1 | 13 October 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 11 | Maces have been out of the Crystal League 5v5 meta for a while. To give them a potential unique tank role, Guard Rune has been overhauled to make allies immune to knockbacks and stuns. This could be used to support a caster backline like Holy, Frost or Fire, protecting them from displacement and stun-heavy enemy frontlines (which currently keep Casters out of the meta). To further increase the appeal of Mace tanks, Sacred Ground has been boosted with an additional Slow effect, to offer some value in reducing enemy movement too. Furthermore, Battle Howl's cooldown has been reduced to better fit the faster meta that has developed over the years. The ability to remove HoTs is now on a lower cooldown than Nature Cleanse, which could generate increased value against Nature Healer comps.
