General Updates
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed some cases where slows could cause your speed to fall below the 2 m/s minimum

  • Fixed slow percentage calculations being based off of assuming min speed is 0 rather than 2 (reduces how strong slows are)

  • Fixed an interaction where Ethereal Shift would not cancel abilities like Flight

  • Fixed various bugs with Arcane Surge

  • Spellslinger Headshots: Fixed the base Spirit Amp requiring a headshot (this fix was released recently)

Gameplay
  • T4 items cost reduced from 6200 to 6000 (all T4 items)

  • Increased shield's 'no-damage' duration before regeneration from 18s to 30s

  • Increased gold generation tick from 2/1% to 2.5/1.5%

  • Spellslinger Headshots: Cooldown is now on a per-target basis rather than on the item itself (buff / flexibility improvement)

  • Spellslinger Headshots: Spirit Amp per headshot increased from 3% to 4%
