This is a non-exhaustive list and there may be unlisted changes here or there. Bugfixes are not listed.
04/20 Edit:
* Changes to the Bal Pet will not be released alongside this update. There are future plans in place to take the stats Bal would lose from its proposed nerf and re-add them to the game through other sources (and as flat stats rather than the current % increase, which poses several problems when it comes to designing future content), but these plans will not be part of this update and we thus deem it fair to delay any changes made to the Bal Pet until everything's ready to be tested and released as one. Thanks for the feedback! In addition to this, the Scatha Pet is not being changed as part of this update. The current changes to the pet are an unintended side effect of a bugfix made elsewhere in the game. Following the update, the Scatha Pet will still function the same as it does currently.
