• Sovereign of Light has been added to the game.
• Sovereign of Light: Adjusted the timing for when this trait triggers. If a player uses a skill that grants light aura while they already have light aura, the existing light aura will now detonate before the new one is applied. This also means that luminary skills that apply light aura will not immediately detonate the new light aura.
• Sovereign of Light: Reduced the power coefficient from 1.67 to 0.8 in PvP and WvW. Reduced the base healing from 1,289 to 773 in PvP only.
