Changelog correction: Firestarter increasing instant Flamestrike damage versus players by 30% had already been live for months due to a previous merge issue. (If it is overperforming it will be reduced again.)

Crusader Strike (One with the Light) now deals 5% reduced damage versus players, changed from no reduction.

Fixed an issue where the mana gained from using Pyroblast, Fire Blast or Flame Shock after using Lava Sweep was not benefitting from its level scaling. It now replenishes roughly 15% more base mana at level 60 and 80% more base mana at level 70.

Lava Sweep main target damage is now increased by 60% when using Flametongue Weapon, changed from 50%.

When Totem Master: Fire is active, Searing and Magma Totem now has a 10 sec cooldown. (With increased health of the totems, there was no great counterplay to killing them as a new totem could always be placed right after.)

Holy Ascension now increases the damage of Smite versus players by 25%, changed from 20%. It now increases the damage of Holy Shock by 20% versus players as well.

Savage Defense now has an 8 sec cooldown when triggered versus players. (While Savage Defense and Bears should be strong versus melee players it could reduce overall damage by too much.)

Battle Fervor now also removes the global cooldown of Battle Shout.

Warcry now grants you a separate spell if you know Battle Shout, that grants the critical strike effect. (To make it less annoying when you just want to use your normal Battle Shout).

Voidwalker Sacrifice now uses 30% health, changed from 25%.

Pets now take 20% reduced area of effect damage versus players.

Mind over Matter now requires Mana-forged Barrier is active. (This RE would grant chance to be missed in PvP which was a frustrating kind of randomness to face and could in some cases be used to circumvent mechanics in PvE. Tying it to MFB allows us to keep it powerful for its intended usage.)

Bad Shepherd stun is now on controlled stun DR, changed from random stun DR.

Significantly increased the threat of Mana-Forged Barrier tanks. Depending on talents and spells used, threat generation will be increased by approximately 50-75%. (The threat modifier currently live is even higher than that intended amount, which will be fixed on next restart.)
