[Yender.4912]

Do you think todays update will change meta a lot?

[TheArtOfMouts.7468]

Nope. !!!!!!

[Mini Crinny.6190]

We increased the amount of exhaustion from elusive mind from 3 seconds to 5 seconds

To compensate, it now cleanses two conditions and we've increased mirage cloak to 2s duration

I think there will be some QoL changes for SB, BB, Holo and Mirage, but no significative direct changes, time for the runes/sigils revamp to settle down. Meta could slightly shift due to that.

If they bop energy sigil and adventure runes it will nerf mirage a fair bit and the rest only a little but not too much.

for pvp i dont think bigger change will take place now maybe another month or two

I don't think they will touch those. But i'm looking forward to see all the changes, that may open up interesting gameplays.

Nothing much is shifted on the mirage front as far as I can see. Are the updates in PvP or just PVE/PVDoor?

[Virelion.4128]

Happy with the changes, they did not give me false hope for pvp in this game

I just see the patch notes with the rune/sigil changes and very minor class changes and bug fixes, Am I missing something. Or they really havent touched the classes?

which was pretty disappointing, Kinda saw this coming knew it'll be to much for them to deliver with the changes of other stuff.

If it holds true, they're going to do a mid-season balance update.

[Ovark.2514]

Everyone and their mom will be playing Spellbreaker thanks to the changes to Rune of Air.

That means dropping healing signet, I'd like to see warriors playing without that.
