Souljade Adjustments
Sap Souljades Merged, No Longer Weapon-Exclusive
Given the range of different 'Sap' Souljades, it used to be difficult to get the one you want. They'd often take up all your slots, too.
Dual Ring, Stamina Strike II & Other 3rd-Strike Souljades Merged
There were too many 3rd-strike Horizontal Strike Souljades (e.g. [Stamina Strike II], [Blue Moon II]), which were often difficult to pull off and weapon-exclusive.
As such, we've merged some into the Epic [General Melee] Souljade, [Cyan Fang]. This should make Souljades easier to use and understand.
Damage Reduction Souljades Merged
Ranged Resistance was a big factor in your Souljade choices, so we've combined Ranged Resist and Melee Resist into the 'Damage Reduction' stat to balance this influence.
Others
To help you make the most of Souljades, we're removing the following little-used or weaker Souljades for the time being. They'll be back once we've reworked them in later updates.
[Follow the Recall], [Abyssal Aura], [Ocean Parter], [Blue Moon]
We're merging several stronger ones too, and upping their appearance rate in Morus' Blessings and Spirit Wells. This should make it easier to seek out the Souljades you're after.
[Ripple Step & Phantom Step], [Soft Step & Gecko Foot]
[Warrior Pace & Infernal Slash], [Erudition & Spear Storm]
[Assassin's Lunge & Netherstep], [Soulshatter & Netherstep]
[Velocity Untold & Trigger]

Potential System Adjustments
Some Souljade effects have been transferred to Potentials instead, slimming down the Souljade roster while retaining their unique mechanics.

Wishing Well Adjustments
Players noted that they'd often come across many weapons yet still struggle to find ones compatible with their Souljades.
Following this update, you can now cast unwanted weapons into Wishing Wells for a random same-rarity, same-type (ranged/melee) weapon: throwing a Legendary Longsword would yield a random Legendary melee weapon, for example.
Please note that these adjustments will be applied in the Test Server as of June 26. Details may have changed by the time they're officially rolled out.
