Hexblade Changes

Spectral Barrage

Damage reduced by 40%

Cooldown increased from 12 to 20 seconds

Reason: This spell was being recast by both the Awakening effect and the artifact effect, being a pinpoint spell, while also gaining +30% increased damage from another artifact interaction.
This resulted in roughly 390% total damage from a single cast with a very low cooldown, making it significantly stronger than intended compared to other AoE abilities.

Hex Storm

Damage reduced by 35%

Cooldown increased from 18 to 24 seconds

Reason: This ability also benefits from artifact recast interactions. Since the skill already hits 4 times and can recast, it resulted in extremely high sustained damage within the class kit.

Hex Spread

Damage reduced by 25%

Cooldown increased from 18 to 24 seconds

Reason: This spell has a very large overlap potential, allowing explosions to chain for extended periods as long as monsters continue dying, resulting in excessive damage scaling in dense hunts.

Requiem – Death March (Awakening Effect)

Now has a maximum extension cap of +10 seconds

New Description: "During Requiem, each enemy killed extends the duration by 1 second, up to a maximum of 10 seconds."

Necromancer Changes

Mind Seizure

Cooldown increased from 8 to 14 seconds

Witch's Cauldron

Cooldown increased from 12 to 18 seconds

Gathering Fear

Cooldown reduced from 10 to 8 seconds

Corpse Explosion

Cooldown increased from 10 to 12 seconds

The goal of these adjustments is to prevent the Hexblade from dominating the meta, as happened last season where rankings became heavily concentrated with this class. We will continue making small adjustments every 1–2 days based on:

Player progression

Gameplay data

Community feedback

All changes remain subject to further tuning. A new feedback channel has been added so we can better evaluate the impact of these changes and adjust the class balance accordingly. ⁠class-feedback-hub
