*** Spells ***
- Magician - Made all self-only modulation spells require the caster to be a Magician, starting with Wand of Phantasmal Modulation. Modulation rods that are intended to be distributed to others are not limited in this way.
- Shadow Knight - Lowered the skill damage values added by most of the Insolent Influence line of spells. Increased the power of all ranks of Insolent Agitation, but decreased the rate at which power grows from there. Incensive Agitation is now an upgrade over Ignominious Agitation, though both will be less powerful than they were.
- Shaman - Changed the Feralize line of debuffs. The accuracy component has moved for better stacking purposes. The incoming damage effect now applies to all weapon skills (and hand to hand), but is slightly less powerful (12% vs 15%). Increased the duration of all ranks of Feralisata.
- Rogue - Changed the "Shock" damage procs from the Shrouding Speed Discipline lines to NPC only to prevent rare cases where the procs could inadvertently damage players.
*** Progression Servers ***
- Instanced zones created when requesting a group-based adventure, mission, or quest can now receive the same Resource Hunter bonuses as the base version of the zone. This only applies to instances created after the daily cycle of bonuses occurs, but the bonus will persist until the instance closes.
- Several The Hero's Journey achievements that become available when The Serpent's Spine unlocks no longer also require Seeds of Destruction be unlocked.
*** Miscellaneous ***
