• Choking Talons: You will no longer be charged twice the required magicka amount to use this ability.
• Burning Talons: Decreased this ability's damage-over-time duration.

1.5.2

• Fixed an issue where this ability was causing a slight reduction in performance.
• Choking Talons: Fixed an issue where this ability wasn't getting more powerful when you gained a rank; there is now more damage added on Ranks II-IV. We also fixed an issue where this ability was fading out instantly.

1.6.5

• Choking Talons: This ability now applies the Minor Maim debuff, even if your target is immune to roots.
• Burning Talons: Increased the damage over time from this ability by approximately 10%.

2.3.5

3.0.5

• Shadow Cloak: Fixed an issue where the invisibility from this ability and its morphs was being broken by numerous abilities including Reflective Light, Silver Shards, and Burning Talons damage over time effect.

3.1.5

• This ability and the Choking Talons morph now deal Magic Damage instead of Physical Damage.
• Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs were not displaying their visual effect if they were the killing blow on the enemy.

3.2.5

• Fixed an issue where Rank I of this ability would allow the caster to use their own synergy.

5.0.5

• Increased the damage of the initial hit of this ability and its morphs by 25% to put it on par with our other PBAoE abilities.
  • Burning Talons (morph): Adjusted the tick frequency, duration, and delay so this ability followed our standards. Duration remains at 4 seconds, with a 1 second delay of the DoT between the initial hit, but now ticks 4 times instead of 3.

6.3.5

• This ability and the Choking Talons morph now deal Flame Damage, rather than Magic Damage. The Ignite synergy now also deals Flame Damage rather than Magic Damage.

8.0.5

• Choking Talons (morph): Reduced the cost of this morph to 3510, down from 4050.

8.1.5

• Reduced the cost of this ability and the Burning Talons morph to 3780, down from 4050, to help them be slightly more accessible in usability and to better account for the fact that the Immobilize may fail in many cases.
