General changes

  • Fixed some cases where slows could cause your speed to fall below the 2 m/s minimum
  • Fixed slow percentage calculations being based off of assuming min speed is 0 rather than 2 (in effect this reduces how strong slows are)

  • Fixed Ethereal Shift not canceling abilities like Flight
  • Fixed various bugs with Arcane Surge
