Combat Balance Changes

Spears
To make Daybreaker more deadly, Breakthrough now purges first before dealing damage.

• Breakthrough (Daybreaker)
  
  • Now purges before dealing damage
    

Helmets
Feyscale Hat has had its buff duration increased to make it an attractive combination with constant-casting builds like Fire and Frost Staffs. Its buff now makes the caster immune to Cast Disruption, meaning spells like Revitalize are not affected by damage while it is active.

• Hyper Focus (Feyscale Hat)
  
  • Buff Duration: 5s → 7s
    
  • Gives immunity to Cast Disruption (i.e. channel or cast durations being affected by damage)
    

Armors
To make Dynamic Defense more reliable, it can now be cast on oneself.

• Dynamic Defense (Jacket of Tenacity)
  
  • Can now be cast on self
    

Battlemount Abilities
Recently, players have been bringing multiple Behemoths to large-scale battles. In general, battles should be fought by players without mounts: Battlemounts are supposed to support ground forces without becoming the main fighting force themselves. To make it less effective to bring several Behemoths, its abilities have been adjusted. Siege Ballista has also been buffed to offer more options against Battlemounts.

• Pierce Through (Siege Ballista)
  
  • Cast Time: 2s → 0.5s
    
• Artillery Fire (Behemoth)
  
  • Max Stack: 3 → 5
    
  • DoT Damage vs Players per stack: 10% → 8%
    
• Flamboyant Defense (Behemoth)
  
  • No longer purges or applies direct damage
    
  • Applies an Oil Flame Charge to each enemy hit
    
• Smokescreen (Behemoth)
  
  • Casting now dissolves all ally Smokescreen areas in a 30m radius
    

Increased Max Health differences between Battlemount ranks (Gold-rank mounts unchanged, Health Regen adjusted to remain 10% Max Health per second).

New Max Health:

• Battle Rhino
  
  • Crystal: 6644 → 7973
    
  • Silver: 5913 → 4731
    
  • Bronze: 5578 → 3347
    
• Tower Chariot
  
  • Crystal: 10061 → 12073

Miscellaneous

  • Healing Reduction: 20% → 30%
    
• Mists (Solo and Greater)
