Changes to Fitness (Red)
DEVELOPER REASONING
Added three new sub constellations to this tree focusing on more core combat gameplay interaction, as well as focusing on more universal engagement for PvE encounters as the original nodes tend to have very limited diversity in that regard. Each of these constellations is filled with new slottable stars only.
Wind Chaser sub constellation
The New Sub Contellations for The Waking Flames DLC
Celerity: Increases Movement Speed by 2% per stage, 5 stages, 10 points per stage
Thrill of the Hunt: Whenever you kill an enemy you gain Major Expedition for 3 seconds per stage, 2 stages, 25 points per stage
Refreshing Stride: You gain 100 Health and Magicka Recovery per stage while sprinting, 5 stages, 10 points per stage
Survivor’s Spite sub constellation
The New Sub Constellations for The Waking Flames DLC
Sustained by Suffering: Increases your Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery by 30 per stage while under the effects of a negative effect, 5 stages, 10 points per stage
Pain’s Refuge: Reduces your damage taken by 1% per negative effect on you up to a maximum of 20%, 1 stage, 50 points
Relentlessness: Gain Major Protection for 3 seconds after being Stunned or Feared, 1 stage, 50 points
Walking Fortress sub constellation
Bracing Anchor: Increases Block Mitigation by 4% per stage but lowers your movement speed by 16% at all stages, 5 stages, 10 points per stage

Other Champion Point Changes for The Waking Flames DLC
Alongside new sub constellations there’s been some rebalancing with two slottables: Rejuvenation and Juggernaut.
Rejuvenation: Reduced the bonus to Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery per stage to 1.8, down from 3. The final recovery will be 90 rather than 150.
Juggernaut: Reduced the damage reduction bonus from this star to 1% per stage, down from 2%, to ensure its power is similar to other damage reduction sources in regard to its ease of access to keep up.
Ironclad: This Champion star makes its return as a slottable star, reducing damage taken from direct damage attacks by 2% per stage, 5 stages, 10 points per stage.
