  • Intelligent
  • Scavenging
  • Focused Mana

General Gameplay

• Removed the ability to “double shot” with the Dodge mechanic.
• You are now able to carry multiple gauntlets and runes in your inventory without needing the Spellslinger talent.

Items

• Items have been rebalanced. Please see the provided spreadsheet for full details.

• All remaining Equipment has been added into the Battle Royale loot pool.
  • Known Bug: The practice range will spawn random equipment of equal “rarity”.
