Patch Notes v6.2.4


Ability Altering Weapons

Executioner's Blade: Fixed an issue where this set could cause your Stamina to desync.

Force Overflow:

This set no longer states it can only affect group members, as it affects any allies in the tether.

Fixed an issue where the resources restored could sometimes fail to apply to multiple targets.

Fixed an issue where this set could apply to all group members, even when they were not in the tether.

Fixed an issue where the wearer of this set could not generate resources from it.



----

Patch Notes v6.2.3


General

Fixed an issue where tether abilities and sets, such as Shocking Siphon or Stone Husk, were not properly treated as Area of Effect Damage for bonuses such as Ancient Knowledge or Major Evasion.

Fixed an issue where pets would behave erratically if Prevent Attacking Innocents was set. Their primal urges to kill all who dare stand in front of their master has been mostly quelled.

Fixed an issue where using some abilities, such as Shield Wall, could desync your Stamina while blocking.

Fixed an issue where projectile impacts could appear delayed on your client when weaving them with Heavy Attacks.


Buffs and Debuffs

Minor Brittle: Fixed an issue where this debuff could be applied when not actively wielding a Frost Staff in some cases.


Dragonknight

Ardent Flame

Dragonknight Standard: Fixed an issue where this Ultimate and its morphs would stop dealing damage if the caster began using a cast or channel time ability.


Nightblade

Siphoning

Catalyst: This passive can once again be used outside of combat.


Weapon

Destruction Staff

Wall of Elements:

Wall of Frost and its morphs will now cost 4050 Magicka at base, rather than 3780.

Removed the 25% damage penalty that these abilities inherited for their new affixes they were given.


Crafted Sets

Aetherial Ascension: Reduced the penalty to your Block, Sprint, Dodge, and Break Free costs to 20%, down from 25%.


Red Eagle’s Fury: This set now increases the cost of your Weapon abilities by 5%, rather than increasing the cost of your non-Weapon abilities. This change is made to keep up the theme of a martial-focused build that grants a larger bonus to its specialization, but at a cost – similarly to New Moon Acolyte.


Dungeon & Arena Sets

Bani’s Torment: Fixed an issue where the Major Vitality from this set was not lost when the beam broke.

Sergeant’s Mail: This set’s bonus damage for Heavy Attacks will once again no longer apply to Dual Wield’s off-hand strike.


Sheer Venom:

Reduced the damage this set deals to 6576 over 6 seconds, down from 8766 over 6.

Fixed an issue where this set had a higher chance of applying the Poisoned status effect than intended.

Syvarra’s Scales:

Fixed an issue where this set was ignoring its own cooldown in some cases.

Fixed an issue where this set would stop working if you entered a new zone.


Mythic Items

Pearls of Ehlnofey: This set can no longer generate Ultimate outside of combat.

Right of the Pale Order:

This set now heals for 18% of your damage done, up from 15%.

Decreased the healing cap to 2750, down from 3750.


Ability Altering Weapons

Executioner’s Blade:

This item set now increases the damage done with Hidden Blade by up to 250% on targets under 100% Health (2.5% damage per 1% missing Health), rather than 200% against targets under 25% Health.

This set now also restores up to 50% of the cost of Hidden Blade when used on targets under 50% Health. This portion of the attack will also proc when using the free cost version of Flying Blade.

Frenzied Momentum: This set can no longer generate stacks while outside of combat, to help reduce the burst damage you can start with in a fight. Note that stacks from previous encounters will still carry over, however, so you do not lose previous effort.

Point-Blank Snipe: This set now scales its damage between 5% and 33% based on your distances, rather than granting 33% while 7 meters or closer to your target. The 33% is reached when 3 meters or closer to your target, and rapidly scales down to 5% when at 18.5 meters or more from your target.

With this adjustment we expect to see more forgiving gameplay when you try to engage with the Long Shots passive, which operates inversely with this set and is intended due to the huge pay off you get in close range.

Wrath of Elements: Increased the damage done with this set to 23710 over 10 seconds, up from 21400 over 10. Each time the tether damage an enemy, it increases in damage by 1%, up to 20 times.

With these values, we hope to see more pay off for using this set in Cleave and Area of Effect encounters, while also rewarding staying in range of your opponent.

Patch Notes v6.2.2


General

Item sets and passives that generate Ultimate now require you to be in combat to activate, to help reduce their ability to continuously enter a fight at full Ultimate.

Note: Pearls of Ehlnofey may still proc outside of combat in some cases and will be fixed in a future patch.

Fixed an issue where some Elemental Status Effects could fail to apply their auxiliary effects or activate their special interactions with the Destruction Staff skill line.

Fixed an issue where the Charged Lightning and Bone Wall synergies did not remove their synergies from others when activated.

Fixed an issue where activating the Blessed Shards synergy could remove other active abilities, such as Volley, when synergized.

Fixed an issue where your block animation could become desynced when using Shield Wall.

Note that there is a known issue where it can still desync your Stamina bar after activating.

Fixed numerous issues with Heavy Attacks sometimes missing targets while strafing and weaving.

Pets can no longer be commanded to attack innocent NPCs if the "Prevent Attacking Innocents" game setting is on.


Warden

Winter’s Embrace

Frost Cloak: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs would fail to apply its visual effects upon cast.


Weapon

One Hand and Shield

Shield Wall: Fixed an issue where activating this Ultimate or its morphs while wearing item sets such as Frozen Watcher could trigger their effects permanently.

Destruction Staff

Ancient Knowledge: Fixed an issue where the Block Mitigation granted from this passive could fail to apply against certain attacks while equipping a Frost Staff.

Wall of Frost: Fixed an issue where the Damage Shield from this ability and its morphs could target non-player characters.


General

Fixed an issue where the Raiding Target Dummy did not have Minor Brittle or Major Vulnerability applied to it.

Updated the tooltips for Hircine’s Veneer and Worm’s Ramient to match their actual bonuses.

Fixed an issue where Minor Magickasteal would fail to reapply on the dummy after it was killed.

Adjusted the visual effects from numerous new item sets to only be visible by the proper targets who need to see them, to help reduce the visual noise they impact on overall combat.

This means sets such as Wrath of Elements are now only visible to the wearer of the set and enemies, rather than all players, while Force Overflow is visible to the wearer and their allies, rather than all players.

Adjusted the visuals from the following item sets:

Frenzied Momentum: This activated effect now looks more physical in nature, rather than appearing as Fire damage.

Void Bash: The radius on the debuff explosion visuals now matches its proper radius.


Crafted Sets

Oblivion’s Foe: Readjusted this set’s minor set bonuses to now grant the following bonuses at their standard levels, rather than granting up to 211 of each Resource Recovery:

2 piece: 129 Weapon and Spell Damage

3 piece: 1487 Offensive Penetration

4 piece: 657 Critical Chance

5 piece: 129 Weapon and Spell Damage.


PvP Sourced Sets

Crest of Cyrodiil: Fixed an issue that prevented these set items from dropping as bows or staves from several sources.

Ravager: Fixed an issue where this set did not work with the new hard coded Major and Minor Breach.


Mythic Items

Ring of the Pale Order: This set now has a maximum heal of 3750 before bonuses, to help reduce its healing potential in PvE.


Ability Altering Weapons

Wrath of Elements: Fixed an issue where this item set’s tooltip was not scaling with damage bonuses.

Frenzied Momentum:

Decreased the damage on the Heavy Attack explosion to 9132, down from 10384.

While generating stacks, you now gain 38 Weapon Damage per stack, which is lost after the proc the explosion.

Increased the duration of the stacks and the window your fully charged stacks last to 20 seconds each, up from 10 seconds each. This should help grant the set less binary performance, where you were immediately punished for not constantly spamming Stamina abilities and activating a Heavy Attack every 5-6 seconds.



----

Patch Notes v6.2.1



General

Fixed an issue were some Area of Effect abilities failed to fire, such as Summon Storm Atronach and Caltrops.

Fixed an issue where some effects could remain stuck on you through unintended means.

Fixed an issue where the following Light or Heavy Attacks were not scaling dynamically with your offensive stats:

Werewolf Berserker’s conal attack

Unarmed fully-charged Heavy Attack

Mend Wounds and its morphs

Fixed an instance where using movement abilities could cause you to snap back to your original point.

Battle Spirit: Reduced the healing penalty to 55%, down from 60%, to make up for some reductions of Healing Done and Taken we’ve taken out of the game.


Buffs and Debuffs

Fixed an issue where some Major and Minor Buffs, such as Evasion or Magickasteal, would fail to properly work when refreshing.

Minor Toughness: Fixed an issue where being affected by a duration based source of this buff, such as Maturation, it would completely replace itself rather than refresh, causing you to continuously lose the 10% portion of the Max Health you gained.


World

Fixed an issue that could cause the experience bar for the Soul Magic skill line to display the incorrect amount of current experience for some characters.


General

You can now obtain Staves in the Kyne’s Kiss set.

Fixed an issue which prevented Restoration Staves from dropping in the Shadow of the Red Mountain set.


Crafted Sets

Oblivion’s Foe: Oblivion’s realms have been full as of late with the poor souls affected by this set, so it is being reworked again. Whenever you deal damage with Soul Magic using the 5-piece bonus, you mark the target’s soul, dealing 12820 Magic Damage over 10 seconds.

This set will not refresh itself on targets it is already active on and will wait for the duration to end before reapplying.

Additional changes to the 2-4 piece bonus will be coming in the next PTS patch.


Dungeon & Arena Sets

Pestilent Host: Fixed an issue where this item set could stack multiple times on a target from the same wearer, rather than simply refreshing itself.


Trial Sets

Aegis of Galenwae: Fixed an issue where this set and its perfected version’s Empower granted were not the correct duration. Empower from this set will now last 3 seconds, rather than 2.


Monster Masks

Valkyn Skoria: Fixed an issue where the cooldown on this item set’s tooltip was incorrect.


Ability Altering Weapons

Frenzied Momentum: Increased the damage proc from this set to 10834, up from 9028, to better account for the wind-up period of your Heavy Attacks; its total DPS was lower than other sets when getting multiple procs off cooldown.

Void Bash: Fixed an issue where the Major Maim applied from this set was fired in a smaller radius than intended. It is now 12 meters as the tooltip states, rather than 8 meters.

Wrath of Elements: Fixed an issue where the damage done from this set was not affecting each target you hit, and would instead cause the tethered target to take damage from each of the enemies you were hitting.


----


Patch Notes v6.2.0


Item Set Collection

Many Cyrodiil Item Sets will currently show in a default Breton style instead of in the style of your character’s alliance.

Some non-Cyrodiil Item Sets will show in a default Breton style instead of its normal dropped style.

Some Item Sets will show with an incorrect default enchantment.


General

Fixed a few instances where players you witnessed using a movement ability such as a charge, teleport, or blink could fail to properly animate.

Fixed an issue where activating instant cast area-bound abilities could cause your character to stop moving briefly.

Made several improvements to Light and Heavy Attacks as a result of the PTS test we held in March earlier this year:

Fixed an issue where Medium Attacks (non-fully charged Heavy Attacks) could deal less damage than Light Attacks in some cases, and more damage than fully charged Heavy Attacks in others.

Reduced the damage from all ranged Light and Medium Attacks by 10% to ensure they meet ranged damage standards. Heavy Attacks already meet these standards.

All Light, Medium, and Heavy Attacks now have a 700ms cooldown unique to their weapon configuration (Dual Wield, One Hand and Shield, etc.) rather than varying amounts between 500ms and 1 second. Cast times of Heavy Attacks have been increased or decreased to ensure their total Cast Time + Cooldown remains the same at this time.

All Light, Medium, and Heavy Attacks now dynamically scale with your highest offensive stats.

Removed the 200ms delay on Lightning and Restoration Staff Heavy Attacks, preventing some weird hiccups or stutters they could encounter.

Fixed an issue where Dual Wield Heavy Attacks would calculate their Sneak Attack damage incorrectly in some cases, producing absurdly high results.

Volendrung’s Medium Attacks now properly scale between Light and Heavy Attacks, rather than a flat 5000 damage regardless of charge time. Volendrung’s Heavy Attack damage has been reduced to 7560, down from 10,0000, to meet the normal scaling of a 2 handed weapon.


Buffs and Debuffs

All Major and Minor Buffs and Debuffs have been hard coded to go through server validation sooner and more effectively as cached values, rather than abilities that exist on your character. This new system will also properly ensure that no two same buffs or debuffs can ever stack in effectiveness, rather than needing to be individually spot checked on each application. It will also prioritize duration-based sources rather than permanent ones, so you do not need to fear losing their effects. While doing so, we have also properly reigned in the power of these effects into our Set Bonus Efficiency (SBE) standard; Minor effects are now worth 2 set bonuses (previously between .4 and 4.2) and Major effects are worth 4 (previously between 2.14 and 13.3). The new values can be found below.


  • Minor Expedition: Increased to 15%, up from 10%.
  • Major Savagery and Prophecy: Increased to 12%, up from 10%.
  • Minor Breach: Increased to 2974, up from 1320.
  • Major Breach:
    • Increased to 5948, up from 5280.
    • Major Breach now affects both Physical and Spell Resistance equally.
  • Minor and Major Fracture: Yeeted from this plane of existence to embrace its missing other half, Minor and Major Ward.
  • Minor Resolve: Increased to 2974, up from 1320.
  • Major Resolve: Increased to 5948, up from 5280.
  • Minor Fortitude/Endurance/Intellect: Increased to 20%, up from 10%
  • Major Fortitude/Endurance/Intellect: Increased to 40%, up from 20%.
  • Minor Defile: Decreased to 8%, down from 15%.
  • Major Defile: Decreased to 16%, down from 30%.
  • Major Mending: Decreased to 16%, down from 25%.
  • Major Vitality: Decreased to 16%, down from 30%.
  • Major Evasion: Decreased to 20%, down from 25%
  • Minor Berserk: Decreased to 5%, down from 8%.
  • Major Berserk: Decreased to 10%, down from 25%.
  • Minor Protection: Decreased to 5%, down from 8%.
  • Major Protection: Decreased to 10%, down from 30%.
  • Minor Maim: Decreased to 5%, down from 15%.
  • Major Maim: Decreased to 10%, down from 25%.
  • Minor Vulnerability: Decreased to 5%, down from 8%.
  • Major Vulnerability: Decreased to 10%, down from 25%.
  • Minor Magickasteal: Decreased to 168 per hit, down from 300.
  • Major Aegis and Slayer:
    • Decreased to 10%, down from 15%.
    • Fixed an issue where Aegis was additive rather than multiplicative.
  • Minor Courage: Increased to 215, up from 129.
  • Major Courage: Increased to 430, up from 258.
  • Major Force: Increased to 20%, up from 15%.
  • [NEW] Minor Brittle: Increases the target’s Critical Damage taken by 10%
  • Major Brittle: Increases the target’s Critical Damage taken by 20%. Not yet sourced.
  • Minor Cowardice: This debuff has been reworked, and now reduces the target’s Weapon and Spell Damage by 215, rather than increasing their Ultimate cost abilities by 60%.
  • [NEW] Major Cowardice: Reduces a target’s Weapon and Spell Damage by 430.
  • Empower:
    • This buff now applies to all Light, Medium, and Heavy Attacks for its duration, and is no longer consumed on use.
    • The following sources of Empower now last 3 seconds, down from 5 to reflect the change that Empower is no longer consumed:
      • Aegis of Galenwae
      • Might of the Guild
      • Empowering Grip
      • Wrecking Blow
      • Ambush



Now that these bonuses have been reigned in, we have also made sure to keep item sets in their intended SBE range, so we have done a pass on all sets that source these effects to ensure that. While each of these bonuses is normally worth 2 for Minor and 4 for Major, they are worth .5 less than their original value while sourced on an item set, since they are mainly sourced via the abilities and passives in the game. This ensures if you opt to run a set that grants you a permanent major or minor buff, you’ll gain some extra effectiveness on top of that to ensure they aren’t completely wasted if you gain access to the buff from another source. We have not done a full pass on class abilities since the SBE system is generally meant to be designed for non-abilities; that said, we will keep a close eye on class functionality in PvE and PvP due to these changes.


Necromancer

Grave Lord

Blastbones: Made some improvements to the cooldown duration of this ability, to reduce the chances of it becoming locked out despite the skeleton dying.

Frozen Colossus:

Removed this Ultimate and the morphs’ Major Vulnerability invulnerability.

Increased the duration of Major Vulnerability applied from these to 12 seconds per hit, up from 8. This will increase the total duration to 15 seconds per cast.


Nightblade

Assassination

Executioner: This passive now restores 500/1000 Magicka and Stamina when it procs, rather than 938/1876 Magicka or Stamina depending on your highest maximum.

Shadow

Path of Darkness

Refreshing Path (morph): Fixed an issue where the visuals from this ability’s heal could last much longer than intended.

Summon Shade: Fixed an issue where this ability and morphs’ pet could attack innocents in some cases.

Siphoning

Soul Shred

Soul Siphon (morph): Fixed an issue where this Ultimate could aggro enemies, despite dealing no damage.

Drain Power

Power Extraction (morph):

This morph now applies Minor Cowardice to enemies hit, rather than reducing their Weapon and Spell Damage by a unique amount. This will result in a larger decrease in Weapon and Spell Damage, but one that cannot be stacked with other sources.

Reduced the base duration by 1 second, but the ability now ranks up in duration of this by 1 second per rank, up to 10 seconds.


Templar

Aedric Spear

Spear Shards: Fixed an issue where the synergy from this ability could remove other synergies after being consumed.

Sun Shield

Blazing Shield (morph): Fixed an issue where this ability’s explosion visuals would multiply in intensity with the number of enemies hit, causing your screen to experience level 7 earthquakes and your eyes to be blinded with the brilliance of Meridia. The explosions will now always appear as well, regardless if you dealt damage.

Restoring Light

Healing Ritual

Ritual of Rebirth (morph): Fixed an issue where this heal was targeting the ally furthest from you within its range, rather than prioritizing allies who need the heal.


Warden

Animal Companions

Feral Guardian: Fixed an issue where this Ultimate and morphs’ special attack, Crushing Swipe, could fail to hit large monsters like Dragons or Titans.

Scorch

Subterranean Assault (morph):

This morph no longer applies Fracture, as Deep Fissure now affects all Armor.

This ability now recasts itself after completing, once per cast.


Weapon

Destruction Staff

Frost Staves have received adjustments to help them further stand out as a Tank and Support-oriented weapon type! Check out each ability adjusted to see what’s changed with the Frost version of the ability.


Applying Chilled while actively holding a Frost Staff now applies Minor Brittle in addition to its other effects. Note that the Staff must be on your active bar when Chilled is applied for this to proc.

Destruction Expert: This passive now also grants 900/1800 Magicka whenever you absorb damage with a Frost Staff damage shield. This new effect can occur once every 10 seconds.

Destructive Touch: Fixed an issue where this ability and the Destructive Clench morph would aggro enemies before dealing damage.

Destructive Clench (morph): The Frost version of this morph now taunts enemies for 15 seconds.

Impulse: Each elemental type of this ability and its morphs have gained new functionality.

Flame Impulse now deals bonus damage that scales based on missing health if the target hit was burning.

Frost Impulse now applies Minor Protection to up to 6 group members for 6 seconds.

Shock Impulse now deals 5% more damage for each enemy hit, up to 30%.

Tri-Focus:

This passive no longer causes your Heavy Attacks with a Frost Staff to taunt the enemy.

Increased the strength of the Damage Shield granted from Heavy Attacking with a Frost Staff to 12.5/25% of your Max Health, up from 4/8%.

Wall of Elements:

The Frost version of this ability now applies a Damage Shield to you and 5 nearby group members that absorbs projectiles, but no longer snares enemies and deals 25% less damage than the other elemental version.

Fixed an issue where the Shock version of this ability and its morphs was not capped at hitting 6 targets, despite having auxiliary debuffs.

Elemental Blockade (morph): The Frost version of this morph now also applies an additional, smaller shield on you and group members in the area when it ends.

One Hand and Shield

Deadly Bash: Fixed an issue where this passive could be active while not wearing a Sword and Shield, which caused your character to fail to bash properly when at low Stamina, making you appear to jitter as if you drank Tamriel’s largest cup of coffee spiked with moon sugar.

Puncture: This ability now applies Major Breach rather than Fracture.

Pierce Armor (morph): This morph now applies Minor Breach as well.

Two Handed

Berserker Strike: Fixed an issue where this Ultimate and morphs’ camera shake when striking multiple targets would make you experience a brief but violent earthquake. The camera shake is now the same despite how many enemies you hit and is much more tame.


Armor

Fixed an issue where some passives bonuses did not apply to your pets.


World

Werewolf

Transforming into a Werewolf in front of NPCs will now properly be considered a criminal act and generate Infamy.  

Roar and Hircine’s Bounty: These abilities now always apply their Major Buffs while slotting, rather than only while in Werewolf form. This will fix issues where slotting these abilities outside of Werewolf form could prevent you from gaining their effects from any source.

Hircine’s Rage (morph): This morph now increases your damage taken by 8 to 5% depending on rank, down from 23 to 20%.


Guild

Dark Brotherhood

Padomaic Spirit: This passive now triggers whenever you kill an enemy with the Blade of Woe, rather than whenever you kill a citizen. This means it will now work on non-civilian type enemies if you use the Blade of Woe, but will no longer proc off kills on civilians with non-Blade of Woe means. In addition to these changes, this passive will now have significantly less performance implications than before.

Mages Guild

Fire Rune: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs’ screen shake would multiply based on the amount of targets hit, causing your camera to violently shake.

Undaunted

Trapping Webs: Fixed numerous visual issues with this ability and its morphs.


Champion System

Reduced the Weapon and Spell Critical Chance granted from Perfect Strike and Spell Precision to 3% each, down from 9%.


Consumables

Potions and Poisons that apply Minor Defile now properly mention they also affect Health Recovery in their tooltips.

Potions and Poisons that once applied Minor Fracture or Breach have been made into unique bonuses. These values remain at -1320 and -5280.

Activating a consumable or other quick slotted item will no longer cancel in-progress casts, and instead will now wait until after the cast is complete.


Crafted Sets

Daedric Trickery:

The Major Buffs granted from this set now last 21 seconds, up from 16.

Reduced the cooldown of getting a Major Buff to 9 seconds, down from 20. This means if the Mad God favors you, you can have up to 3 Major Buffs active at once from this set, or if he is displeased, only 1. Will you be tempted by his honeyed words?

Hist Bark: This set’s 3-piece bonus is now Max Stamina, rather than Health Recovery.

Innate Axiom: Fixed an issue where this set’s bonus Weapon and Spell Damage did not apply to special activates from pets, such as Summon Familiar’s damage pulse.

Magnus’s Gift: Fixed an issue where this set’s visuals failed to apply when the set procced.

Night Mother’s Gaze: This set now applies Major Breach for 4 seconds, rather than Major Fracture for 6 seconds when you Critically Strike an enemy.

This set now procs off any Bash, rather than interrupts.

The heal now heals for 9372 Health over 10 seconds, rather than 4300 instantly.

Hand of Mephala: Reduced the snare potency of this set to 33%, down from 50%.

Haven of Ursus:

Fixed numerous issues with the targeting for this set’s synergy. The shield granted will now always grant itself to the 6 lowest Health targets in a 28 meter radius of the synergizer, rather than the wearer of the set and 6 more.

Fixed an issue where the shield was not enhanced by the Harmony trait.

Healer’s Habit: This set now grants an additional 5% Healing Done when wearing 5 pieces.

Heem-Ja’s Retribution:

This set now also grants up to 129 Weapon Damage when wearing 5 pieces.

Increased the duration of Major Berserk on proc to 10 seconds, up from 5.

Overland Sets

Champion of the Hist: Increased the Max Health this set grants on its 5-piece to 1600, up from 1206.

Grace of Gloom:

Reduced the cooldown of this set to 20 seconds, down from 25.

The heal from this set now heals for 2550 every 2 seconds, rather than 1096 every second. This should also significantly reduce the visual “rave-like” noise of the set.

Mad Tinkerer: Fixed an issue where this set’s tooltip still stated it had a cooldown, despite not having one.

Order of Diagna: This set now grants an additional 5% Healing Taken when wearing 5 pieces.

Wisdom of Vanus: Increased the duration of Major Mending granted from this set to 5 seconds, up from 3.

Affliction: Increased the damage per proc to 2278, up from 1830.

Coward’s Gear: This set now also grants up to 250 Stamina Recovery when wearing 5 pieces.

Fasalla’s Guile:

This set now only activates while in combat, to help reduce the radiant message and Area of Effect spam it creates. The visuals have also been adjusted to proc each tick, but with less aggressive sounds.

This set now also grants up to 1487 Armor when wearing 5 pieces.

Leki’s Focus: Reduced the damage penalty of your Area of Effect attacks to 5%, down from 15%.

Fixed an issue where Giant’s Might didn’t have a cooldown, which made it possible to create a situation if it was already active and you Heavy Attacked, you could get stuck in a perpetual state of gaining 0 Weapon Damage.

These increases in power are to make up for the fact that bar swapping off the set causes you to lose all stacks, which is intended.
