Bug Fixes:

• Corrected an issue that could cause the game client to hang when entering or leaving a dungeon.
• Dark Apostate's spells that take damage-boosting Metamagic Feats now correctly scale with those Metamagics.
• Stormsingers will now see their correct spell lists when swapping out spells.
• Stormsinger's Eye of the Storm proc now lasts a little longer.
• Stormsinger's Core 5 Enhanced Bolt III now has its stun proc working correctly.
• Unlocked Favor upgrades now persist through Lesser and Epic Reincarnation, but continue to not persist through True or Iconic Reincarnation.
• House Jorasco's favor buffs no longer take ten times the amount of gold asked for when selecting "Give Me the Works".
• The Doom spell once again deploys its debuff.
• Invisibility no longer causes your displays movement speed to fluctuate.
• Salt Ray now does its correct damage and is now properly considered an offensive spell in some cases it was not.
• Salt Ray now has a randomized cooldown when cast by enemies to prevent overly stunning players.
• Salt Ray will now only stun players for three seconds.
• Gust of Wind now properly works against players again, but has had its knockdown duration lowered to four seconds against players.

• Shiradi Champion's Pin attack now properly scales with Attack Speed. KNOWN ISSUE: While using this with Thrown Weapons the attack is now faster than it was prior to this patch, but still slower than it should be. This is due to a Thrown Weapon animation issue we intend to correct in the future.

• The Path of Light is no longer exclusive with other religions and players can no multiclass without losing the feat.
