BIOLOGY >> ANAEROBIC ACOLYTES
- Changed animation from generic summon to a "vial toss"
- Behind the scenes changes to summon handling

Published v.533

BIOLOGY >> PHOTOSYNTHETIC AMMO

Published v.411

CORE
- The class no longer has the native ability to deflect missiles when the charge bar is high. This ability was a hold over from earlier versions of the class which were much more fragile. (As it turns out, this ability wasn't working anyway.)
- Theolentists rolled prior to this update will forever this ability. However, since it only grants .4% chance to deflect missiles, its effectively meaningless

- Reduced damage bonus from 5% per rank to 3% per rank

BIOLOGY >> ANAEROBIC ACOLYTES
- Reduced damage bonus from 5% per rank to 3% per rank
- Removed the display text that listed pet damage numbers. It was a made up number anyway.

BIOLOGY >> DNA HEX
- Fixed an issue that caused DNA Hex's effects to linger even after a player respecced out of the skill.
- Even after this update, the skill may remain stuck on some players. To fix it (f it bothers you), take at least 1 rank in DNA Hex and respec again.

BIOLOGY >> LITANY OF QUILLS
- Increased mana cost over time for each rank past level 1
- Reduced mana cost to launch spell

ASTRONOMY >> LUCENT BEAM
- Lowered the raw damage scaling of this spell, but left soak scale alone. Searching for middle ground of effectiveness.

ASTRONOMY >> CELESTIAL BLAST

- The missile has been slowed down at all ranks

PHYSICS >> Godspeed
- Increased duration of Dodge bonus from 10 seconds to 12 seconds

PHYSICS >> Kinetic Flurry
- Fixed a bug that caused armor bypass abilities to penalize the skill rather than boost it
- Fixed a bug that caused this spell to sometimes shoot Celestial Blast orbs instead of the correct projectile

Published v.379

PHYSICS >> CONDUCTIVE STRIKE
- A test version of this skill is now live
- This skill conjures a ring of projectiles that shoot inwardly.Each enemy you hit super charges a debuff on the second part of the spell, which throws columns of electricity to chase down enemies.

PHYSICS >> KINETIC FLURRY

PHYSICS >> GODSPEED
- May have fixed an issue with the skill icon appearing after Divine Intervention triggers even when the player has zero ranks in this skill

- Slowed rate of knockback pulses for all tiers by approx 1 second per pulse

ASTRONOMY >> HEAVEN'S GATE

DIVINE INTERVENTION >> DIVINE AID
