We have deployed a hotfix to address an unintended mechanical issue regarding the Unwavering Stance ability.

Bug Fix:

• Infinite Stat Scaling Fix: Addressed a critical bug where Unwavering Stance modifiers (such as Bastion Bonus, Threat Generation, and Damage Reduction) were permanently stacking on characters when their stance dropped or expired. Instead of safely resetting to base values, the bonuses were unintentionally compounding over time. We have corrected the math behind the scenes so these buffs properly drop off when the stance ends.

Developer Note: We understand that some players may notice a significant drop in their overall tanking stats and survivability after this update. Please know that the previous behavior of infinitely growing, permanent stats was entirely unintended and a bug.

This fix is necessary for the long-term health of the game and ensures that Unwavering Stance functions exactly as its tooltip and design describe, returning encounters back to their intended difficulty.
