Regarding Wyrom's Creating Adventure - January 2023 (https://gswiki.play.net/Creating_Adventure_-_January_2023) announcement, below are the details we're currently planning for the removal of Divergence. The current implementation can be reviewed at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kN-1Of1A8HvgERjNQdBrXpQGk-SH72q4gqja9dkp33I/edit#heading=h.ynx2a2khr7o2.

  • Cooldowns for short duration spells (140, 211, 215, 219, 919, 1619) will go live.
  • Numerous effects (including the above short duration spells) were already made exempt from Manastorm, Spellburst, and Spell Sever.
  • Spirit Slayer (240): clerics are in a good position, but empaths probably need a few updates, so we plan to wait before implementing this cooldown.
  • Breeze's (612) haste effect will go live.
  • Updated minimum roundtime for melee weapons will go live.
  • All the other bard and wizard updates are suspended when Divergence is disabled.
  • PSM AoE setups (reduced from 4s to 3s) will go live.
