Patch Link	Date	Patch Name	Patch Notes
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 18.040.1	6 May 2021	Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch)	Daggers Dagger Pair has been very strong in the new 2v2 Hellgates. The shortened cast time made it impossible to react to in certain situations, so the cast time has been reverted to its longer duration from before the last update. Its damage has also been reduced, as with the recently reduced standtime, players could directly follow Slit Throat with more damage, e.g. Chain Slash. Together these abilities had an extremely high damage burst. With the reduced damage of Slit Throat, the oneshot potential is reduced, but the overall damage output still stays very high. A standtime was also added to Bloodletters, so players have to commit more to the action and allow for more room to punish it if spammed for disengagements. Slit Throat (Dagger Pair): Cast Time: 0.3s → 0.4s Reduced all direct and bleed damage by 7% Lunging Stabs (Bloodletter): Standtime: 0s → 0.35s
