GuildWiki notes

 * The Assassin's Critical Agility's French name and skill description have been changed to be more accurate. Its previous name : "Hâte de l'aube" has now been replaced by the much more accurate "Agilité Critique". The description now reflects the additional seconds given by attribute levels in the Critical Strikes attribute.
 * Hero Battles group size has increased from 8-64 players to 8-128 players. Now 7 rounds are played instead of 6, because of increased group size.
 * Charr Salvage Kit was added to pre-Searing in Prophecies. Charr Salvage Kit is a rare drop and has five uses.
