[Beast and Blade] We will keep a close eye on the PvP mods on Beast and Blade and increase the PvP damage over the next few days.

[Beast and Blade] These changes should result in an increase in overall damage and result in much more significant damage while granting much needed AOE. This should remove tedium and ramp up time while also allowing much more flexibility in how you choose to build Beast and Blade.

[Beast and Blade] Dispatch now grants you Agile Coordination, increasing your Beast's attack power by 15% of your agility.

[Beast and Blade] Crimson Tempest now has a 20% chance per combo point to send your pet into a frenzy, causing it's auto attacks to strike nearby enemies.

[Beast and Blade] Double Team now lasts for 12 seconds and stacks twice, increasing your Pet's Special Attack damage by 75%. This allows you to maintain full uptime on this key buff instead of being limited to small 5 second windows.

[Beast and Blade] Increased the energy regen of Pact Tactics from 5 to 7.

[Beast and Blade] Previously, Your Rogue Finishers granted you Plan of attack, that made Dispatch grant you Double Team. This an unnecessary ramp up and generally confusing. Plan of Attack has been replaced with simply granting Double Team.

[Beast and Blade] Blade Beast and Blood Focus have been combined into one buff granted by your Rogue Combo Point Generators and is renamed to Pack Tactics.

[Beast and Blade] The Beast and Blade Legendary Mystic enchant has been mechanically cleaned up to be more clear and more consistent. (Pending Restart)
