---|---|---|---|
Version 20.040.1 | 9 August 2022 | Into the Fray Patch 4 / Arcane and Frost Patch | The Morning Star E-ability has been reworked. Its root duration is now limited to 1.5s against single enemies, to make it harder for groups to catch solo targets with it. However, its mobility has been increased along with its synergy with Air Compressor, making it more effective in group vs group fights.
|
Version 19.010.1 | 13 December 2021 | Lands Awakened Patch 1 | One-handed Maces have been very strong in a variety of content types. With the combination of high damage, stun, and mobility, they outperform many similar weapons, making them very strong. The damage output and mobility of Deep Leap have thus been decreased.
|
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.

Version 18.090.1 | 28 July 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 9 | Added four new icons to better represent the corresponding abilities:
|
Version 18.090.1 | 28 July 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 9 | Maces
Oathkeepers have thus far remained a very niche weapon. To open up more possibilities, the number of buffable allies of Blessed Aurora has been increased, allowing for use in larger-scale fights.
|
Version 18.080.1 | 30 June 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 8 (Season 13 Patch) | One-handed Maces are intended to be the damage-oriented "bruiser" of their weapon tree. But their current combination of damage, CC and mobility makes them too strong of an all-rounder in many fields. Hence the stun duration is shortened. Additionally, there is a bugfix for the invulnerability duration to better match the time in the air.
|
Version 18.040.1 | 6 May 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch) | Maces
Camlann Mace was a bit too effective for striking big enemy clumps from the safety of the backline. The projectile range was thus reduced somewhat, so players need to get a bit closer to enemy groups and expose themselves to potential retaliation.
