# 5.6.71 is here. This further pushes Arcanist along and makes some fixes to yesterday's changes.

This update contains the following:

# New:

## Other:
* Another addition to Arcanist.

# Changes:

## Blood Witch:
* More changes to Wave of Blood, attemping to raise its damage by about 3x.

# Other:
* Further changes to test Nightvision.

# Fixes:

* Various fixes to things in the last patch.

# In Testing:

* Spell version of Fairy State to remove the need for an item. It's not ready for public use, but it exists. Still struggling with this, but trying different logic with this.
* Spell version of "Fairy Flight" with no animation and no cast time. This is not ready for use as it's very buggy.
* Abilities in testing for the upcoming Arcanist class.
* Splitting Nightvision to have two versions available, one to races and one via feat, then also a separate feat for less intense nightvision.

# 5.6.70 is here. This gets us one step closer to the addition of Arcanist and makes some other balance changes(and some fixes). At some point in the future, every Warrior class will come with its own group buff of varying utility. This also adds casting buffs(to remove confusion when warlock shows up) for Swordsage and Revenant(as well as Arcanist, though that is unavailable at this time).

This update contains the following:

# New:

## Revenant:
* Fortifying Frost: A new shout-like ability for the Revenant and their allies. This adds armor and health for the duration.

## Other:
* Additional spells in-testing for Arcanist. Once finished Arcanist will be a mystic subclass that combines instant and long cast times to deal damage and sometimes support their allies. Hopefully the kinks will be worked out of all of these abilities soon, but a few things still elude me, like my goal for their missiles...

# Changes:

## Artisan:
* Regenerative Barrier: Range increased from 1250 to 1500 units and Regenerative Barrier now provides some Stagger resistance to those effected by it.
* Prime Targets: Damage scaling increased, now does 1x magic power instead of 0.5x magic power.


## Blood Witch:
* Missile now has a base damage of 8, up from 5.
* Exsanguinate Circle (PvE) now has a potency of 5, up from 3.
* Wave of Blood(shift+middle mouse) is now 10x Magic Power. This is a scary value I may change, because it previously wasn't scaling at all for some reason I'm unaware of... It works in the devkit.


## Stormsage:
* Call Lightning (PvE) now has 4 potency, up from 2.
* Lightning Circle (PvE) now has up to 5 potency, from a previous max of 2. Lightning Circle (PvE) will do more damage to targets hit by Call Lightning and Storm Surge, each multiplying the damage.


## Swordsage:
* Flame Shield now applies to allies as well.
