Patch Notes

Changelog: Rogue Frontier Patch 1

This patch follows up on previous combat balance changes, enhances some less prominent weapons and abilities, and introduces additional changes and fixes.
Changes


Item Destruction
  • Items can no longer be destroyed if a player is ejected from the Roads of Avalon
  • Many item types that previously did not create a trash item upon destruction (e.g. consumable items) began to do so with the Rogue Frontier update
    • This has been reverted, and those items once again do not generate trash
    • In addition, we would like to clarify the changed rate of item destruction in the Rogue Frontier update
      • Equipable items had their destruction rate increased from 30% to 33%
      • Non-equipable items had their destruction rate decreased from 36% to 33%
      • These rates have not changed at all in this patch
      Other Changes
      • Energy destruction from Territory Raiding has been increased from 10% to 20%
      Combat Balance Changes


      Axes

      Relentless Assault’s damage has been increased, to help Crystal Reaper find its place in the meta.
      • Relentless Assault (Crystal Reaper)
        • Damage: 90 → 105
        Bows

        Skystrider Bow’s Sky Bolts now deal more damage and hit more easily, especially against close-range targets.
        • Sky's Fury (Skystrider Bow)
          • Dash range: 7m → 10m
          • Buff duration: 3.5s → 3.75s
          • Damage per bolt: 130 → 140
          • Bolt hit delay: 0.6s → 0.4s
          As Undead Arrows is a toggled ability with a significant downside while active, its cooldown has been reduced to make it less punishing to toggle off.
          • Undead Arrows (Whispering Bow)
            • Cooldown: 12s → 10s
            Frost Staffs

            Hoarfrost has received a significant buff to increase its baseline effectiveness.
            • Avalanche (Hoarfrost Staff)
              • Snowball damage: 60 → 120
              • Snowball Knockback distance: 5m → 10m (knockback duration unchanged)
              • Increased slow trail width: 4m → 5m
              Shapeshifter Staffs

              Pulse Shock is intended to support melee-oriented transformations, but not so strong as to be the default damaging Q. Therefore, its damage has been reduced.
              • Pulse Shock (all Shapeshifter Staffs)
                • Damage: 109 → 97
                Following the recent range increase to Sinister Swipes, Prowling Staff has gained a lot of stickiness, and no longer requires such a strong baseline movement speed increase.
                • Shadow Panther Transform (Prowling Staff)
                  • Transformation movement speed: 6.5 → 5.5
                  War Gloves

                  Purifying Combination's cooldown has been increased to remove some of Fists of Avalon’s power as a non-commital mobility option.
                  • Purifying Combination (Fists of Avalon)
                    • Dive Kick cooldown: 20s → 25s
                    Helmets

                    Circle of Inspiration’s maximum targets have been increased to make Druid Cowl more suitable for large groups.
                    • Circle of Inspiration (Druid Cowl)
                      • Max targets: 5 → 10
