Runemaster Passive Tree

• Fixed a bug where Order’s Imposition’s threshold bonus was granting Brand of Deception either 5% or 6% more damage per 1% global shock chance based on points allocated, despite stating it grants 1% more damage per 1% global shock chance. It now grants Brand of Deception 6% more damage per 1% global shock chance.

Skills

Volatile Reversal

• Volatile Reversal’s base functionality has been reworked. It is now a combo ability where the first cast jumps you forward in time to your target location and attacks in an area around you. You can recast within 3 seconds to jump backwards in time to your original location and attack on arrival. The skill has a mana cost of 12, and a 6 second cooldown which continues recovering while the recast is available. Added damage applies to the attack at 200% effectiveness. The skill’s tags are void, melee, area, movement, traversal, strength, vitality. It gains 4% increased melee damage per strength, and +2 spell void damage per vitality.
• Volatile Reversal’s t...

Smelter’s Wrath

• Now has 600% damage effectiveness (from 450%).
• The baseline effect now grants more damage based on charge, up to 100% more damage at maximum charge (from 50% more hit damage per second spent charging). This means that reducing your charge time will no longer reduce the benefit received from this effect. Effects in the tree which are “for each second chanelled” remain unchanged.
• Mana cost reduced to 30 (from 35).
• Liquefy grants Furnace 100% chance to shred armor per second per point (from 40%).
• Tempered Blow grants 15% more damage per second spent channelling per point (from 12%).
• Stinging Steel’s grants +5% critical strike chance per second per point (from +1% listed, +6% actual) and now also grants +5% critical strike multiplier per second per point. The description and statlines have been clarified to state they grant additional critical s...

Bug Fixes

• Fixed fully offline mode not being able to leave game back to character select
• Fixed players being able to block themselves in chat

The team was working on the Offline Character Issue late into the night and will be tackling it again as soon as they clock on today - I’m currently reading all of the information they have gathered and gathering information from players as well!

If you are playing in Offline, not True Offline mode, please submit an In Game Bug Report from the Character Select Screen after attempting to load in!

Changes

• Added client support for system updates
• Added performance telemetry information for tracking FPS and frame hitches to support continued performance improvement efforts

Notes

This patch requires rolling server restarts to get the servers up to version. We have also started a count-down notification in game for the server shutdown. We expect the server downtime to be very short, as it’s just a restart for the update.

This was a tough one but the team did recently figure out the cause!
