News Liste Fellowship

GENERAL

• We have increased the maintenance warning timer to 30 minutes, up from 15 minutes. Unfortunately, this requires us to patch the game, so this patch will be the last one with a 15-minute warning.

STABILITY

• Fixed another issue causing crashes when players used Cooldown Reducing talents or effects and Cooldown Recovery. This is the issue that was primarily affecting Rime players, but should also prevent crashes for all heroes related to cooldown reduction.

SPIRIT ABILITY UPDATE

• Spirit ability charge lost upon death has been reduced to 25%, was 50%.

TARIQ

• Auto Attack / Heavy Strike damage increased by 10%.
• Leap Slam damage increased by 15%.
• Raging Tempest's tooltip incorrectly stated that Raging Currents increases critical strike chance by 1.5% per stack. Now correctly states each stack increases critical strike chance by 1%.
• Culling Strike's base damage increased by 33%.
• Added information on Culling Strike's tooltip to clarify that the ability does not affect the swing timer.
• Intimidate cooldown reduced to 150 seconds, down from 180 seconds.
• Intimidated enemies can now take 100% more damage before the fear breaks.
• Talent: Blood & Thunder now increases Chain Lightning damage by 25%, up from 20%.

HELENA

• Helena's maximum Toughness value is based on her strength (1200% of Strength baseline). This has been increased to 1800% Strength.
• Helena's Toughness generation from Shields Up, Shield Slam & successful blocks is also based on her strength. All three abilities now have 50% increased Toughness generation.
• The above 2 changes cause Toughness generation to function the same as before, while reducing the amount of Toughness lost when taking damage, improving her overall damage mitigation.
• The amount of Toughness generated by successful blocks has been increased by an additional 25% (from 4% Toughness per block, to 5%).
• Shields Up duration increased to 12 seconds, up from 8 seconds.

MEIKO

• Serenity no longer has a global Cooldown.
• Stone Shield is now more resilient. The health of each stone has been increased by 33%.
• Talent: Spirited Advance had an issue causing the free applications of Spirited Strikes and Spirited Vortex to not work properly. This has been fixed.
• KNOWN BUG AND REQUEST: Meiko's "Spirited Advance" talent is causing lag spikes. Until we have a chance to fix it, we recommend Meiko players to not use that talent for now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
• Talent: Harsh Winds tooltip clarified to indicate that the attack speed slow only affects enemy auto attacks.
• Talent: Forbidden Technique now accumulates 15% of all damage you deal to the target, up from 10%.

• Fixed an issue with the 'Might of the Minotaur II' ruby gem power causing it to only provide 1% increased intellect for intellect heroes. It now correctly increases intellect by 10%.
