These changes aim to help mold and shape the identity of Black Arrow. Currently, Black Arrow was only used as a filler ability to empower other Hunter Shots and had rarely contributed any meaningful damage to your breakdown. With these changes and the changes that hit live yesterday in mind, Black Arrow should take a slot amongst strong rotational spells while still being able to invest into empowering your other Hunter Shots and Abilities on targets affected by Black Arrow.

[Pending Restart] - Mana costs of ALL spells has been reduced by 20%. This change comes to help remedy mana regeneration issues and increase the effect that intellect has on how long you can sustain your mana.

[Pending restart] Effects that reduce attack power (such as Demoralizing Shout or Vindication) now affect both melee and ranged attack power.

[Pending restart] Immolation Aura now reduces the attack power of enemies hit for 30 seconds. This is intended to make attack power reduction more easily available for Metamorphosis tanks.

[Pending restart] Improved Earth Shield is now a 3-point talent, with a Capstone effect making Earth Shield heals grant a stack of Tidal Waves (if known). This effect can occur every 5 seconds.

[Pending restart] Adorned from Champion of Justice now inherits some healing from the spell that triggered it, but its baseline healing has been reduced.
