First up, the new Grudge Marks:

Illusionist – Illusions no longer inherit the attributes of the host monster, Illusions cannot deal damage or stagger players, Illusions now only take 1 hit to dispel.
Sister of the Thorn
But Kerillian’s Sister of the Thorn career has been pretty significantly changed. Let’s take a look:
-
Kerillian’s latest career has undergone a bit of a renovation. The changes to Sister of the Thorn will add tools and opportunities for Kerillian to become an asset to the team in more ways than previously through debuffing enemies and controlling the flow of combat.
The goal with changing Sister of the Thorn is to address the most problematic areas of the career, make it into a stronger thematic role in combat, and lean more into the fantasy of the Sisters of the Thorn.
