The following changes are going into today's Preview build:
- Multiple issues addressed in the Trial
- Temporary Icons no longer temporary
- Optimized zone encounters to improve FPS, mainly focused on HEs
- Fixed severe FPS issue with mission updates while following a Golden Path
- A bunch of Ranger changes based on player feedback.
- Arbiters' Bastion of Health now splits like the healer path, although the magnitude is reduced.
- Healer marks should now expire properly on all the healers when respecing
- Battle Prayer + Light of Divinity now function properly (gives 70 Divinity)
- NPCs for the quest "Unshackled" are now identified as Captives.
- The Guardian Tank 40% Hit Point bonus is not currently applying. We have fix internally but didn't make the Preview build cutoff.

No comprehensive information at all?
No wonder the NW community is angry. This is Mod 16 all over again. We were promised that this wouldn't happen again. I watched you and Thomas Foss on a couple of the Twitch streams immediately after Mod 16, while things were getting fixed up, and Foss PROMISED that this sort of thing wouldn't happen again. But here we are.

I'm tired of complaining to deaf ears and getting nerfed anyway. They are going to do what is most profitable for the shareholders. The end. We are all just along for the ride.
The only novelty is the overhaul of a potentialy good feat, chilling advantage, which was supposed to grant up to 24% crit severity bonus. But it never worked, and instead of fixing it, it adds now rimefire when using cold spell (and no chill stacking anymore). Useless, this feat is even a handicap (directed flames also is, since it reduces average dps of smolder). Many critized, but no answers at all.
If you have no interest in wizard class, just give wizards a class respect token, so we can play fun and efficient classes instead.

since mod18 my sw dps is a huge consumption (health stone) and I can't find anything to compete during the fight, each time I have to use health stone !
