    Can’t find a link, but from Aletin in the Balance Discord.
    Known E3 build changes
    sonic break;
    100p base potency, 90p per tick, 30s dot, 60s recast
    compared to media tour;
    300p base potency, 50p per tick, 15s dot, 30s recast.
    1000p new vs 1100p old
    but the new also requires 1 less gcd per minute which may or may not matter, requires mapping to see the full extent of the gain

    no mercy;
    20% up from 10%

    gnashing fang;
    30s cooldown down from 35s

    Heart of Light;
    10% instead of 15% and is now only magic instead of all damage
    I believe this was nerfed for 2 reasons.
    1) It was strictly better than Passage of Arms, giving the same damage reduction at a lower cooldown and less restrictions placed on the user. It was reduced to 10% to be more in line with the lower cooldown. I would assume Dark Missionary got the same treatment.
    2) It was strictly better than Dark Missionary in like 5% of cases where physical raid damage exists. So it was made just magical so there was no disparity

    Superbolide;
    360s down from 420s

    At this point the devs should just come out and say "We only know how to balance PLD and WAR" because physical/magical damage is causing imbalances amongt tank defensives as CLEARLY SHOWN WITH DRK AND GNB
