KNOWN ISSUES in This Release
Champions cannot access Ardour.
Minstrel Codas cannot be used on other players or monster players.
Minstrel Codas will not erase buffs gained from Anthems.

General
Issues with tooltips not showing the value of the Bubble to be placed on the target have been resolved.
The Devastating Bonus to Devastating Critical hit chance is now improved by the correct percentage and the UI has been updated to reflect changes.
Damage over time and Healing over time effects are now consistent with their initial and follow up pulses.
/stuck and /unstuck now transport characters to the closest rally point so they stay closer to the front lines! Additionally /stuck and /unstuck no longer share a cooldown with Return Home.
Monsters will no longer drop negative effects when they transition phases.
Character Stats, Avoidances, and mitigations.
You should no longer see individualFire/Frost/Light/Lightning/Acid/Shadow mitigation lines in the Player, Monster Player, and Session Player character journals. Instead, you should see a single base Tactical mitigation value with a tooltip that details the individual Damage Type mitigations.
You should no longer see individual Common/Ancient Dwarf/Beleriand/Westernesse mitigation lines in the Player, Monster Player, and Session Player character journals. Instead, you should see a single base Physical mitigation value with a tooltip that details the individual Damage Type mitigations.
While all exisitng Critical Hit Avoidance will continue to work the same, when you recieve points to the new unified Critical Hit Avoidance it will increase all Melee, Ranged and Tactical Critical Hit Avoidance.
There is a new all powerful Resistance which all other resistances will bow to. The resistances fear, wound, poison and disease are now represented on the Character Panel by the new Resistance. Detailed information about each resistance is available on the tooltip for the new Resistance.
Melee, Ranged and Tactical Critical Hit have been consolidated on the UI into Critical Hit. While all Critical Hits will continue to work the same, when you recieve Critical Hit it will increase all Melee, Ranged and Critical Hits.
Some players were reporting that the sky was rapidly accelerating towards to the ground. We have investigated and are happy to report that the sky is, in fact, exactly where it should be.

Stat Updates
We have removed most of the diminishing returns from Offence ratings and increased the percentage gained per rating point as well as removing the cap.
We now have different formulas for Heavy, Medium and Light armor mitigations. The point at which diminishing returns starts having a major effect is different for each armor type now.
The caps on Primary characteristics, Might, Agility, Vitality, Will and Fate are completely removed.
The caps on Block, Parry, Evade, Incoming Healing and Critical Hit ratings have been increased to 25%.
The caps on Outgoing Healing and Resistance ratings have been increased to 50%.

New Stat – Finesse
For all of those players who think the random number generator has it out for them this is the stat for you. Finesse is a ratings-based stat that will directly reduce the Resistance of monsters as well as their Block/Parry/Evade ratings. This stat will appear primarily on instance/raid/pvmp loot but there will be a few pieces available with Finesse from quests and crafting.
This new stat is a two sided weapon because monsters will have access to it also. Most landscape monsters won’t have much if any Finesse but expect high difficulty instance/raid Boss monsters to have quite a bit.
Stat Consolidation
Resistance – this stat will replace the various resistance ratings to specific types Fear, Disease, Poison and Wound. Effects will still have a specific resistance type because some skills will modify a specific resistance but in general, you will use your Resistance stat as your base chance to resist an effect.
Tactical Mitigation – this stat will replace the various mitigation types used for tactical skills, Fire, Lightning, Frost, Acid and Shadow. Damage will still have a damage type because some skills will modify a specific mitigation but in general, you will mitigate tactical damage using your Tactical Mitigation stat.
Critical Hit Rating – will replace the separate melee, ranged and tactical critical hit ratings previously appearing on items. Critical hit rating will enable all attacks to have an increased chance to critical hit.
New Primary Stat Contributions
Removal of all secondary characteristics. These include Block, Parry, Evade, Critical, Accuracy etc. It does not include equipment use, critical defence or special weapon traits of the Warden and Burglar.
Increased the ratings contributions of primary stats to offset the removal of secondary characteristics.
All offence ratings (Melee, Ranged, and Tactical) will now have the same primary stat*10 contribution depending on the class.
Burglar – Offence rating based off Agility.
Captain – Offence and Outgoing Healing based off Might
Champion – Offence rating based off Might
Guardian – Offence rating based off Might
Hunter – Offence rating based off Agility
Lore-master – Offence based off Will
