Bind/immobility effects no longer stack duration, and are refreshable instead. It is no longer possible to replace a longer bind duration with a shorter one by following up a strong success with a weak one. This update applies to Duskruin Arena’s krolvin marauders in particular, and to immobility effects in general.
