Class Updates, Spellbooks, and Combat Clarity
Herald and Lorekeeper gain new ways to support allies, spellbooks have more acquisition routes, and Salvager's Cache receives refreshed character models. Combat displays, tooltips, and character saves also receive fixes.
Classes
Herald
- Herald's sustained Standard and Denounce orders now build through melee contact, while Edict creates a party damage opportunity and Redress supports recovery.
- Invocation is now learned at level 5 without a Mastery purchase. Existing Heralds receive the appropriate knowledge and Mastery adjustments.
- Endorsement now blesses a merchant, reducing ordinary purchases and repairs for its visitors for 30 minutes.
Lorekeeper
- Alacrity grants a chosen ally, including a charmed creature, 5% attack and casting speed for 30 minutes.
- Charm and Dominion can affect eligible elite creatures. Dominion retains their creature abilities in dungeons and against bosses.
- Conclusion now strengthens Bracket with attack and casting speed suppression. Each enemy requires its own cast.
Necromancer
- Summoned Spectres now persist correctly with their owner across character saves and returns.
- Corpse spells now refuse a known ineligible corpse before starting the local cast bar.
Spells and Progression
- World spellbooks now provide more class spell acquisition routes, with existing character knowledge carried forward.
- Trainers now offer ordinary class spell catch-up when a character missed an earlier learning opportunity.
- Spell tooltips put the core effect and useful values first, with additional scaling details available when holding Ctrl.
Items and Combat
- School-specific damage bonuses now contribute Spell Power for their matching spells.
- Accuracy and item stats have updated scaling across early gear progression.
- Using a consumable while casting no longer changes the active spell's cost or identity.
- Shared consumable cooldowns now hold across overlapping uses from different inventory stacks.
- Arena queue replacement requests now keep the latest join choice when an earlier join is cancelled.
Interface and World
- Salvager's Cache has refreshed appearances for Delver Mosk, Foreman Korr, Ledger Keeper Venn, Cache Alchemists, Hollow-Touched Salvagers, and Pen Handlers.
- Combat frames, portraits, control loss alerts, and aura displays have clearer visual feedback.
- Compact aura timers are centered, with stack counts in the lower-right corner and improved layering.
- Known invalid control targets and trade-service enchants are rejected before local cast prediction.
- Scavenged Supplies gathering nodes have been removed from Rimwatch.
Fixes
- Quest rewards no longer let a delayed experience update overwrite newer experience gains or death penalties.
- Character saves and cooldowns now recover more reliably when a connection drops during saving.
- Death recovery now preserves pending retreat penalties until their outcome is confirmed after a connection interruption.
- Spell tooltips now show weapon-damage multipliers correctly when no character preview is available.
- Periodic effects now preserve updated charges and stored values when combat reactions change them.
Launcher
- The launcher can recover from a previous update's leftover backup when the installed client is already intact.
