Class Changes Patch 12.0.1 — January 30, 2026

Holy

Developers' Notes

We are reverting our planned changes to reintroduce Crusader Strike and instead making a few adjustments to Holy Paladin’s mana economy and underperforming spells. Our intent is that this loosening of mana restrictions and incentivization of additional spell uses can accomplish a similar goal from our previous changes; namely add additional gameplay variety, but without the same level of disruption to a gameplay flow that players are currently enjoying. Thank you for your continued feedback!
