  • Spear Swipe: This skill has been moved to the fifth skill slot. Players can now move freely while casting this skill. The movement portion of this skill now occurs at the same time the projectile fires. Increased the power coefficient from 1.5 to 2.0 in PvE. This skill's projectile is now unblockable, reflects missiles, and counts as a projectile finisher. The first enemy struck by this skill's projectile is launched instead of knocked back. Increased the evasion duration from 0.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds. Increased the cooldown from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. The cooldown is decreased if an attack is evaded or at least one enemy was struck by the projectile.
