And finally, the long awaited changes to the Wardens and Amazons. While
the Wardens received the bulk of the attention, most of these changes
will also apply to Amazons.

Trailblazing
------------------
- Warden and Amazon cloaks now have pockets that may store a small
number of items.

Warding
-------------
- Nearly all of the Warding abilities were changed to recover balance
more quickly.
- 'Quickjab' received a slight decrease in damage to account for the
increase in speed.
- Artifact glaive and javelin weapon statistics were slightly changed.

Bowmanship
----------------
- Bowmanship was changed from a hit-miss system to a hit-miss-dodge
system, like most other physical attacks. Players with high effective
Evasion should dodge arrows occasionally.
- Artifact bows had their damage slightly decreased and their accuracy
slightly increased.
- Doubleshot damage was decreased. (This was necessary as it was
objectively the most damaging ability in the game.)
- Doubleshot balance time was increased.
- The effect of Rapidfire on Bowmanship balance time was slightly
decreased.
- The effect of Overdraw on Bowmanship damage was slightly decreased.
- The effect of Spiral arrows on Bowmanship damage was slightly
decreased.
- The effect of Web arrows on Bowmanship balance was slightly
increased.
- The effect of Incendiary arrows on Bowmanship balance was slightly
increased.

While it may appear that Bowmanship received a large number of
"downgrades", it is important to note that most of them were slight. The
fundamental issue with Bowmanship damage was that a fully equipped
Bowman could deliver far too much. A series of small, incremental
changes were applied to result in a large decrease in Bowmanship damage
at the high end, while having only a moderate effect on bow users at the
low end.
