Beyond the Veil Patch 11 - Ver. 22.110.1 - July 5, 2023
Hide Casting and Channeling Bars
This patch adds the option to hide casting and channeling bars of other players, which can be beneficial during crowded fights. This can be set for allied players, enemy players, or both.
These options can be set in Settings → Interface.
General Changes and Improvements

Changes:
This patch improves less frequently used abilities and tones down some abilities that are frustrating to play against or too dominant in specific content types. It also contains various Quality-of-Life improvements.
Arcane Staffs
To increase the value of Arcane Orb’s effects, it now purges before the silence. This change makes sure the purging effect removes silence immunity buffs on the target before silencing.
Because the Void's Cleanse Logic rework in Patch 10 caused unintended side effects with other spells, it is reverted for now.
Enchanted Quiver has been very powerful in various solo activities. To give other weapons a better chance to defend against it, the damage output is toned down a bit. Additionally, the projectile size of Magic Arrow is slightly increased to bring it more in line with similar abilities.
To give crossbows more consistent damage output in PvP, the projectile speed is increased and the standtime of the ability reduced.
Siegebow is very popular in large-scale fights and is often used by multiple users at the same time. To reduce the efficiency of using multiple Siegebows, the damage percentage is now based on the remaining health of the target. This keeps the alpha strike of the first Siegebow deadly, but using multiple Siegebows at the same time now diminishes each other’s damage output somewhat.
Heavy Maces have been extensively used in 5v5 Crystals and are especially dominant in the Cross map, and are often used in large-scale battles in the open world. To bring them more in line with other tank weapons, the cooldown is increased.
Additionally, Battle Howl now purges before the silence. This change makes sure the purging effect removes silence immunity buffs on the target before silencing.
Iron Will’s effect did not scale with Item Power, but its Energy Cost did. In order to prevent this, the Energy Cost is now percentage-based.
Although Parry Strike has a lot of outplay potential, the ability is not used very often. To make it more attractive, the cooldown is slightly reduced, so it can be used more frequently in fights.
With the recent rework of Brecilien Capes it is intended to give players a tool that can reliably break shields in large-scale battles. To achieve this, a Shield Break is added to Black Monk Staff. To not overload the ability, the Slow is removed.
To improve the reliability of Spears in PvP fights, Impaler is now easier to hit.
Additionally, the hitbox of Spear Throw (Heron Spear) is fixed, making it less likely to hit targets directly behind the caster.
Retaliate is still one of the most-used helmet abilities in solo fights, especially in Stalker Corrupted Dungeons. Having most 1v1 fights revolve around one helmet greatly reduces the diversity in builds and matchups. To reduce the impact of the helm in this content, the duration of the Retaliate buff is reduced.
To further improve the variety in helmets, the underused Block (Soldier Helmet) and Stone Skin (all Plate Helmets) are both buffed.
Life Steal Aura has been used frequently in Mists PvP fights to instantly heal up using mobs. To reduce the effectiveness of this strategy, the lifesteal against mobs is reduced.
As Crush Charge has been popular in a wide variety of content, its cooldown is increased to open up space for other offensive Boot options.
Dodge was underplayed for quite some time, so its cooldown is decreased to match other available i-Frame Boot options.
Energetic Sprint energy values are decreased, reducing the possibility of solving all Energy shortages solely through this basic ability.
Rejuvenating Sprint has been overplayed in most small-scale content. To allow other options to be played, the effectiveness of the heal is reduced.
Recently, players started stacking multiple Roving Bastions to roam the open world, because they provide a safe way to deal significant damage in high numbers. To make it less attractive to stack multiple Bastions, the damage is significantly reduced and more value is put into the stackable debuff.
As a Quality-of-Life change, the cooldown on spell changes is reduced, allowing faster spell selections when reacting to opponents. However, changing equipment items still triggers a 10s cooldown, because we don't want to increase the advantage of carrying multiple sets in the open world too much. Players with one set of items shouldn't be at a big disadvantage.
To prevent players from unintentionally canceling their own channels and toggles in the heat of battle, the minimum duration before these can be canceled by pressing the ability button again is slightly increased.
Blessing of Compassion has been outshining other available Blessings inside Knightfall Abbey. To promote other Blessings, its effectiveness has been slightly reduced.
