Resolved Issues

The following issues have been addressed:

[PVP Only] - An issue with visual bugs involving PVE/PVP actions.

There was a visual bug where you cast a skill like Roll Attack EX and it looks fine on your screen, but it's playing the wrong animation for everyone else.
This also addresses the Half Moon Slash EX speed issue and other relevant skills displaying incorrectly.

[PVP Only] An issue wherein Halfmoon Slash EX decreased its CD by 6 seconds.
An issue wherein Oracle Elder was missing her wings while transformed.
An issue with several UIs where they were overlapping each other.
An issue with Elementalist's Shatter skill wherein it could unintentionally influence boss action speed or freeze them in place.

Several damage inconsistency involving DoT ticks, affecting primarily Charitable Zap.
An issue with Oracle Elder's ultimate where it would be uncastable if standing on any elevated ground such as hills, stairs, steps, small props, etc.
