Highlights

Band of Air and Balance Changes

The changes contextualized in Balance Changes: General Direction are now active. See the Band of Air section under Combat and Powers for details. Please note that some high-end bosses have had their health reduced as well.

Multi-Paragon Path Resolution

There was a time window during which players could use a Free Retrain and, as a result, somehow end up with both Paragon Paths at once. In this build, characters in that state will have another Retrain automatically applied to them, removing this incorrect state

Rothé Valley Season Pass Credit

To make up for Skirmishes not properly granting Rothé Valley Battle Pass XP, players can now claim 850 Battle Pass XP for the Take Stock of Life milestone from the Rewards Claim Agent, once per account, for a limited time.
