You now heal for 20% less while in Battleground at level 1-40 and 10% less at level 50. No change for level 60 and above. (Healing in low level Battlegrounds were too high compared to the damage you deal at that level. This should help make them feel better to play in.)

(This effect was moved from Bad Shepherd RE to for example make it feel better to use Polymorph together with partners that were using DoT effects without having to use an Epic RE.)

Quick Recovery now also increases the healing done of Recuperate by 15/30%.

Recuperate now heals for 3% base health, changed from 2% max health.
