Zeal News

— War Fervor no longer heals and requires the enemy to be killed by you to get the Stamina bonus.


— Quick Shot damage bonus removed.
— Slice and Dice damage reduced from 500 to 300.
— Poison Bomb now slows by 30%, damage reduced by 20%.


— Now has a 1H weapon style and a new offhand: Seeker's Book of Divine Law.


Dark Binding
— Now deals indirect damage and doesn’t dismount or break stealth.
— Cast time changed from instant to 1 second.
— Now duplicates 50% of the damage taken.
— The target and its team now can interract with the doll as a friendly unit, but it can’t be healed.
— Maximum link range reduced from 50 to 30 meters.

After some testing we decided to return the initially planned Symbol system, where you can improve every active spell with different symbols.
Since this system alone already provides pretty deep customization, we’re reverting the number of baselines to 4 and reducing the mastery and prime limits by 1.
Note that’s a development build and the work is still in progress, some spells are placeholders, others might be too strong or too weak, and, generally, the system is not final.

As many spells were changed, these notes include only important features. Login to the game to see the rest!
