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.
