Sword and Shield
Potential Ability [Chain Hook Enchant]: Reduced the cooldown reduction from 6 seconds to 4 seconds.
Daggers
Potential Ability [Ankle Strike Enchant]: Reduced the cooldown reduction from 9 seconds to 5 seconds.
Shadow Walker: Changed the activation condition to require a Dagger Mobility Skill or a Dagger Skill that moves the caster.
Skill Core: Creeping Death: Increased the Venomous Edge activation chance from 10% to 12%. The resulting 1.5m poison cloud follows the target for 3 seconds, deals 140% of Base Damage + 100 each second, gains 3% Damage Amplification per Poison stack, and deals 15% increased damage.
Skill Core: Venomous Swamp: Venomous Edge can also activate on melee Critical Hits. Reduced the poison-cloud activation chance from 10% to 5%, or 12% while Creeping Death is equipped. Reduced the monster damage increase for Venomous Edge and the poison cloud from 80% to 15%.
Skill Core: Foretold Agony: Venomous Edge now has a 12% chance to activate on melee hits, or 20% while Creeping Death is equipped. Applying Collision: Prone or Bind to a player activates Venomous Edge once at a 100% rate.
