[Necromancer] The goal of the above changes is to reduce mass summoning so that it does not cause performance issues on launch, but still maintain the theme and flavor of being a focused summoner spec with short durations and more focus on castable abilities than random summons procs.

[Sun Cleric] Dawn now transforms into Radiant Conversion upon being cast, allowing you to convert your remaining charges of Radiant Alignment back into Solar Power

[Sun Cleric] Seraphim Stride has been reworked. (Reasoning: This ability was far too similar to Temple Guardian, in fact they were nearly 1:1 and both within our Holy classes, and upon looking at both of the classes, and with Sun Cleric having a caster and healer spec within it where Templar doesn’t, we opted to rework Seraphim Stride into something with the same intent as a mobility tool, but more applicable to all playstyles in the class)
