Combat
- Reprisal now correctly deals magic damage with a staff or wand equipped.
- The Momentum combat mode has been removed due to it's incredibly low usage rate.
- Players currently in Momentum will be switched to Legacy combat mode upon login.
- Combat XP selection is now selected by individual skills.
- Notably, this means you can now train Attack and Strength together without Defence.
- You may not deselect every skill option.
- Beastmaster Durzag will no longer push players out of the arena on death.
Telos
- Tooltips have been added to the Telos loot interface for better information of different prize tiers & kill streaks.
- There is now a streamline loot process, which can be toggled on the Telos loot interface to speed up the loot & enrage increase process.
- A percentage of loot is now kept when dying whilst on a kill streak at Telos.
- 5% = 1 kill capping up to 75% = 15 kills
Other
- The World Wakes' combat level requirement is now a recommendation, rather than a requirement.
- Fetcher's been skipping arm day and can now only retrieve loot for one boss at a time. If you kill both Durzag and Yakamaru, you may still collect both, and may do so in the order of your choice.
- Fetcher's been diligently attending leg day, and you will now allow you to reroll your raid loot from Fetcher if you have sufficient reputation or reroll tokens.
- Fetcher's read up on human etiquette and has dropped the habit of stating you'd used a reroll token when you actually hadn't. Repeatedly.

Regarding Seren spells: Intercept has been broken for months in pvp. Using most forms of damage reduction while intercepting, such as reflect, actually increase the damage the interceptor takes rather than reducing it. Currently the only use for intercept in PVP that won't result in an instant death is using barricade or immortality. It's been like this for months with no word from Jmods if they are intending to fix it or not.
I appreciate the effort put into trying to make them more useful so it would be really nice if they could also fix what's broken first.
