The following changes have been made to self-cast buff spells which previously had a minimum duration of 20 minutes:

  • Minimum duration has been increased to 2 hours. Spell ranks will continue to increase this duration at 60 seconds per rank.
  • Dynamic mana costs have been removed. As an example, 307 may have previously cost 50 or more mana, depending on spell training, and will now always cost 7 mana.
  • All characters will receive one free use of MANA SPELLUP per day, regardless of Mana Control training.

Please note that 707 and 716 are still in progress, but updates for all other spells should be live now.

Empathic Focus (1109) should now cost 9 mana in all cases. Previously the cost would scale with spell training.


tldr

Buff Spells have their minimum duration increased to two hours and dynamic mana costs removed.
