So we have 3 times the patch notes of other classes... but it seems several of the bullets are minor fixes/changes/corrections.
Kit Refinement builds appear to have taken a hit - grenades no longer spam a barrage, and elixer gun + kit refinement no longer means 100% uptime super elixer.
Some turret buffs that probably require some testing to determine the worth of.
Anything else major I missed at my quick coffee break at work glance over this list?
