Probably the biggest class rework we've ever done, PvP balancing for once (HI ROY), new cosmetics (using tech from the LK rework), and as usual a slew of bugfixes and QoL improvements.

PvE Content

Black Dragon Nest Time Attack

  • Dragon claw mark mechanic only works before 50%
  • Curse of the wretched mechanic only works after 50%

PvE Class Balancing

/\c24\Lunar Knight

Oh boy, everyone's favorite class has finally gotten a rework! Say goodbye to tornadoes and MBD spam and say hello to sword beams, spatial rends, and mobility. The gameplay revolves around managing two resources and slashing away at enemies at a moderate range.
We also totally went goblin mode with the VFX and new tech so this might be awkward for class reworks in the future...
