Removed Content:

• Bruteforce Augment Item Removed
  • [Dev comment: This augment encouraged a melee build by buffing attack damage while penalizing spells. This went against the design of a magic-focused addon, leading to stale, overused melee builds relying on basic spells like Vigor Siphon, Miasma, Haste, and Echoing Strike]
  • If a player had this augment equipped, the slot will simply become empty—no further issues.
