Arcanist
- Curative Runeforms

Vitalizing Glyphic: Fixed an issue where this ultimate and its morphs could sometimes tick more than once every second.

Necromancer
- Boneyard and Morphs
  - Fixed a bug where the sound effects for the gravestones spawning was missing.
- Curative Runeforms
  - Vitalizing Glyphic: Fixed an issue where this ultimate and its morphs could sometimes tick more than once every second.

Vampire
- Undeath
  - This passive once again requires Stage 3 of Vampirism to benefit from it. Increased the amount of damage reduction granted to 7/15%, up from 5/10%, now that the Stage 3 requirement is enforced. Fixed an issue where the bonuses provided from this passive could return higher than their maximum values.
  Developer Comment:
  We’re gently bumping up the damage reduction of this passive while reintroducing the stage 3 requirement to ensure there are still incentives to engage with Vampirism as a whole, rather than treating it like a passive to just have. While we’re not 100% settled on this passive, we’ll be locking in with these adjustments for the time being to make sure we’re still making a dent in how much mitigation the passive is enabling.

Warden
- Winter’s Embrace
  - Piercing Cold: Reduced this passive’s cooldown to 4 seconds, down from 6 seconds, so it is easier to maintain without falling off. The last outcome to this passive granted will always replace the previous, so you cannot have both active at once.
World
- Soul Magic
  - Soul Trap: Fixed an issue where this skill was not being auto granted to all characters that unlocked the skill line.

Class Sets

Aerie’s Cry
- Updated the tooltip of this set to better specify that the 10% increased damage done with Animal Companion abilities is a part of the set bonus, rather than the proc – preventing that part of the bonus from persisting through bar swap.

Corpseburster
- Increased the base damage of this set by ~34%. This set now also applies Minor Breach to enemies hit for 5 seconds. Fixed an issue where the damage was not being increased per Grave Lord ability slotted. Fixed an issue where the cooldown could be ignored in some cases.
Developer Comment:
Our original pass with this set was designed with corpse consumption to be a bit more aggressive than the average experiences called for, so we’re cautiously bumping up the damage and granting a minor effect the class doesn’t have built in to prevent overloading burst damage. Note that the base damage will now also be properly buffed by the Grave Lord scaling, so the values are much larger when leaning into this effect.

Pyrebrand
- Fixed an issue where this set’s explosion would increase in damage and consume proc based damage over time effects. The only proc it can now interact with is the damage over time the set itself applies, so it can always be used in any build.
Reawakened Heirophant
- Fixed an issue where this set’s effects could be maintained indefinitely through bar swapping. As a result, bar swapping off this set will disable its ability to further proc.

Monster Sets

Baron Thirsk
- Reverted the changes to this set that allowed it to be dispelled – as it resulted in confusion with its visual effects and was inconsistent with other sets that visually spawn monsters.

Lucent Citadel

Arcane Knot (Final Encounter)
- Xoryn’s Powering Lightning can no longer be deflected or parried.

Aetheric Lancer, the Templar Aedric Spear Class set, has a cooldown much longer than its listed amount. When resolving this issue, we will also be reducing the volatility of where the spear from this set lands, to make it easier and more reliable to engage with.
