Changes to the classes of patch 12.0.1 from 01/30/2026

• 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!
