Patch NotesEdit
- All ranks and morphs of War Horn now grant the Max Health buff.
- Aggressive Horn: This ability now grants the Major Force buff for 8 seconds instead of granting bonus weapon damage. We also adjusted the visuals for this ability to help improve performance and visual clarity.
- Sturdy Horn: Increased the duration of this ability. This morph also now provides the Minor Resolve and Minor Ward buffs.
- Sturdy Horn: Fixed an issue where Rank III of this ability was not applying bonus Magicka.
- This ability and its morphs no longer grant Minor Toughness.
- Developer Comment: This Ultimate was providing too much power relative to other available choices. The Minor Toughness buff will still be available from the Warden class.
- War Horn & morphs now affect 12 targets instead of 24
- Developer Comment: Due to the structure of our group sizes and targeting systems in place, we wanted a healthier balance in terms of how abilities hit targets. Previously, many abilities only hit 6 players (such as Molten Weapons or Frost Cloak), while other abilities hit 24 players (Rapids or Warhorn) which left a large disparity in their performance in how groups engaged with them. We used the Trial group size as a healthy medium since it was in the middle of 4-player dungeon content and large-scale warfare in Cyrodiil. Please note that we consider abilities that heal or do damage as higher impact, thus their additional affixes will continue to only hit 6 targets for the time being.
- Sturdy Horn: This ability no longer extends the duration of the bonuses or provides Minor Ward and Resolve. Instead, it will grant 15% worth of Critical Resistance to targets affected to operate as a counter to Aggressive Warhorn.
- Aggressive Warhorn: The Major Force from this ability now lasts 10 seconds at rank IV, rather than 9.5 seconds. Be gone, duration based fractions.
- This ability will now only apply to group members rather than allies.
- Sturdy Horn (morph):
- Increased the Critical Resistance granted from this Ultimate to 1320, up from 990, to match the adjustments to Major Force increasing to 20%.
- Fixed an issue where the Critical Resistance granted could be stacked per cast.
