Arcanist- Curative Runeforms
- Arcanist Domain: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could not be dispelled.
Sorcerer- Dark Magic
- Rune Prison: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could miss invisible targets.
Weapons- One Hand and Shield
- Shield Wall
- Shield Discipline: Fixed an issue where this Ultimate’s cost reduction to abilities did not work with some permutations of the Shield Throw Grimoire.
- Shield Wall
World- Mages Guild
- Equilibrium: Increased the base duration of this ability’s Major Resolve to 27-30 seconds based on rank, up from 22-25 seconds, now that Everlasting Magic has been adjusted. Overall this should result in a 1-2 second increase when combined.
- Everlasting Magic: This passive now increases the duration of Mages Guild duration abilities by 1/2 seconds, rather than 10/20%.
This change was done to fix truncation issues and reduce its potency with some of the abilities in the skill line.
- Equilibrium: Increased the base duration of this ability’s Major Resolve to 27-30 seconds based on rank, up from 22-25 seconds, now that Everlasting Magic has been adjusted. Overall this should result in a 1-2 second increase when combined.
Crafted Sets- Varen’s Legacy: Fixed an issue where this set didn't consistently proc with Scribed Skills that had Area of Effect attacks. These will now be properly enhanced.
Dungeon Sets- Maligalig’s Maelstrom: Fixed an issue where this set could work on non-group members.
Overland Sets- Macabre Vintage: Fixed an issue where this set could fail to respect its own cooldown in some cases.
General- Based on feedback received, we have reworked the Class Mastery Script chase to significantly reduce the length for alts. Class Script Scraps can now be individually consumed to advance the "A Signature with Class" achievement, and Class Script Scraps will no longer drop for the account once it has completed the Achievement.
- When this Achievement is completed, that character will be granted the Class Script item immediately and other characters can purchase the Class Script item from Chronicler Firandil in the Scholarium.
- Reduced the cost of the rotating stock of Scripts that you can purchase from Chronicler Firandil and Filer Ool in the Infinite Archive.
- These prices are reduced both in the initial price and in the discounted price once you have knowledge of a Script.
- Increased the drop rate of Luminous Ink from non-boss monsters in the world, to give more opportunities to interact with Scribing.
- The Plentiful Harvest passive now also awards additional Luminous Ink.
- You now only need to play through “The Second Era of Scribing” quest to have full access to the Scribing system and its rewards on alt characters.
- Other characters can now purchase the Scripts awarded from the “Wing of the Indrik” quest from Chronicler Firandil in the Scholarium.
- If you already have these Scripts unlocked on your character, you will no longer receive them from the “Wing of the Indrik”.
- Removed duplicate redundant texts in some Grimoire descriptions.
- Updated some confusing error messages to more accurately represent why you couldn't purchase a Script from the Scribing vendor.
- Fixed several issues where fixtures were clipping in the Scholarium.
- Fixed a number of maps that weren’t displaying your character’s pin.
- Fixed an issue where the tutorial for completing a scribe wouldn't necessarily appear.
Grimoires- Elemental Explosion
- Interaction with Dispel Focus Script
- Fixed an issue where this Grimoire/Script combination did not remove area effects inside of it if there wasn't also an enemy inside the impact area.
- Fixed an issue where this Grimoire/Script combination wouldn't dispel Contingency's Growing Impact Signature Script effect.
- Interaction with Dispel Focus Script
- Mender's Bond
- Fixed an issue where this ability could feel clunky and did not weave properly with other combat animations.
- Shield Throw
- Fixed an issue where the cost of Shield Throw was not in line with other abilities.
- Updated the cost of Immobilize, Knockback, Pull, and Multi-Target Focus Scripts to 3780 Stamina.
- Fixed an issue where the knockback could desync the target's position.
- Fixed an issue where Shattering Throw would utilize the target's stats instead of your character’s stats.
- Soul Burst
- Fixed an issue where the cost of Soul Burst was not in line with other abilities.
- Updated the cost of the Physical Damage Focus Script to 3213 Stamina.
- Trample
- Fixed an issue that allowed Trample to be used while on cooldown if you did not have an active mount.
- Interaction with the Hunter's Snare & Thief's Mobility Scripts
- Fixed an issue where the area effects left by these Grimoire/Script combinations could not be dispelled.
- Fixed an issue where the area created by the Warden class script could not be dispelled.
- Vault
- Interaction with Thief's Swiftness (Reduce Fall Damage) Signature Script
- Reduced the fall damage reduction bonus on this Script to 15%, down from 50%, so you can no longer carefreely ignore most falls in the game.
- Fixed an issue where some fall damage reduction bonuses were additive with one another, rather than multiplicative. This will reduce their effectiveness when stacked together, so they operate like normal damage taken reductions and prevent reaching 100% mitigation.
- Fixed some issues that could allow you to exit the playable game space with Vault, and reduced the maximum height to prevent situations where the ability could be used to get to unintended locations.
- Fixed an issue where Fiery Vault (Flame Damage Focus) was not properly counted as a Weapon Ability and therefore didn't interact with the Redguard's Martial Training Passive.
- Fixed an issue where your character wouldn't animate properly while bashing or dodge rolling immediately after casting Vault. This Grimoire will now properly disable your ability to take other actions while you are moving.
- Fixed an issue where this ability did not have a stacking cost increase if cast in rapid succession.
- Interaction with Thief's Swiftness (Reduce Fall Damage) Signature Script
- Wield Soul
- Fixed an issue where the cost of Wield Soul was not in line with other abilities.
- Updated the cost of the Pull and Stun Focus Scripts to 3780 Magicka and Physical Damage Focus Script to 2295 Stamina.
Class Mastery Signature Scripts- Necromancer Class Mastery Signature Script
- Fixed a typo to improve the clarity of the maximum number of delicious corpses counted for the buff.
- Nightblade Class Mastery Signature Script
- Increased the duration of the Critical Chance bonus to 5 seconds, up from 2, and increased the amount of Magicka and Stamina restored from 187 to 333.
- Sorcerer Class Mastery Signature Script
- Updated the targeting on the following Grimoires to allow the effect to hit enemies near your target instead of near your character, to better support all player types:
- Elemental Explosion
- Shield Throw
- Trample
- Traveling Knife
- Wield Soul
- Updated the targeting on the following Grimoires to allow the effect to hit enemies near your target instead of near your character, to better support all player types:
- Templar Class Mastery Signature Script
- Reworked this Script to grant new effects, replacing its old functionality in favor of a more generally applicable bonus with no drawbacks.

Signature Scripts- Anchorite’s Cruelty & Anchorite’s Potency
- Anchorite's Cruelty (Soul Burst Grimoire):
- Updated this Script to deal 2.8% of the target's maximum health every 2 seconds over 10 seconds, up to a max of 2800 damage per tick.
- Increased the cooldown to 10 seconds.
- Known Issue: Please note while this script currently does less damage than previously, it does not correctly apply the DoT aspect. This will be resolved in a future patch.

- Updated this Script to deal 1.5% of the target's maximum health every second over 5 seconds, up to a max of 1500 damage per tick.

We have made an adjustment to improve both these areas and keep these Scripts in parity. - Anchorite's Cruelty (Soul Burst Grimoire):

We have made a wider change to better match these with their Affix length, as well as adjusted the total damage. We have also increased the output of Sage's Remedy (Healing Over Time) Signature Script to remain in parity. - All Area of Effect Grimoires will now apply Lingering Torment for 20 seconds to match their Affixes, which are Minor Buffs and Debuffs.
