III) Abilities

All Subclasses

Reduced melee lunge suppression time for victims struck by certain displacing melee abilities from 1 second to 0.5 seconds.
This affects the following melee abilities:
Grapple Melee
Pocket Singularity
Shield Bash
Seismic Strike
Hammer Strike
Shiver Strike
Sprint and slide-activated melees can no longer be activated after the player fires their weapon during a slide, preventing effective one-shot-eliminations from combinations like slide + Shotgun + shoulder charge.

This affects the following melee abilities:

Seismic Strike
Shield Bash
Hammer Strike
Howl of the Storm
Consecration
Flechette Storm
Lightning Surge
Tempest Strike
Blink

Fixed an issue where rapid Blinks could result in failed slide attempts.

All non-Super abilities

Neutral game abilities now receive variable amounts of ability energy from perks that grant instant percentage chunk energy, based on the ability's passive cooldown tier.
The shortest cooldown abilities will receive the same percentage of energy as they did previously, but as passive cooldown increases, the energy granted from perks scales per tier, down to a floor of 50% for grenades and class abilities and 60% for melee abilities. This means the number of seconds of raw cooldown reduction granted from chunk energy perks is more closely equivalent across all ability cooldown tiers.
For example, with Firebolt Grenade (which has a 64-second base cooldown time) vs. Lightning Grenade (which has a 152-second base cooldown time):
With the previous system, a 10% base energy chunk reduced the cooldown of Firebolt Grenade by 6.4 seconds and reduced the cooldown of Lightning Grenade by 15.2 seconds.
With the new system, a 10% base energy chunk reduces the cooldown of Firebolt Grenade by 6.4 seconds and reduces the cooldown of Lightning Grenade by 7.6 seconds.
Note: Perks that were designed to grant full energy refunds (e.g., Knock 'Em Down) or perks that target a single, specific ability (e.g., Shinobu's Vow) are not affected and grant the same energy that they did in the previous system.
