[p]Hey, everyone! We're getting a bit experimental with this one. Lots of balance changes, including the Ardor System, Talents such as Silkcloak and Ghostrunner, and Cassius' Sacrifice![/p][p]For the next patch, we have big reworks planned for the Tactician and Ardent Rage Talents (they're a bit boring at the moment) and some more improvements for Cassius' fight.

[h3]Balance Adjustments[/h3]
