      • Developers' notes: Effective damage will be unchanged for Devastation and only reduced by 5% for Augmentation with the above adjustment.

    • Atonement damage transfer has been increased to 30% (was 28%). Not applied to PvP combat.
    • Atonement healing now decays more rapidly beyond 5 targets.

    • Arcane Missile damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
