Item acquisition
Frozen Locus has restrictions on where or how it can drop.
Frozen Locus can now be used while using other skills to interrupt what you're doing, similarly to dodge roll (though it does not allow you to dodge incoming hits).
Ice crystals can no longer apply on kill effects such as Herald of Ash and Trampletoe's overkill.
Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.
The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels.
Frozen Locus' explosion now deals 6 to 9 base Quarterstaff Cold Damage at Gem level 1 (unchanged), scaling up to 141 to 212 at Gem level 20 (previously 89 to 134). The damage past Gem level 20 has also been adjusted. Explosion radius is now 2.4 metres (previously 2).
Skills with Expanding ground effects were unintentionally scaling radius over time instead of area of effect. They still scale the radius, though we have updated the descriptions and lowered the values on many of the affected skills:
The Chilled Ground from Frozen Locus now gains 30% more Radius per second, up to a maximum of 150% (from 40%, up to a maximum of 240%).
