[Bloodmage] Aortic Assault no longer requires a target to start the channel.

[Bloodmage] Pursuit, when used as Eternal spec, now teleports you in front of the target instead of behind. This is to prevent dangerously spinning a boss as a tank while still preserving the mobility identity of the spell. Spell is unchanged for non-Eternal specs.

[Bloodmage] Eternal’s spec passive no longer has an internal cooldown, meaning you will apply Eternal Thirst to each target struck by Claw Sweep, instead of only the first.

[Sun Cleric] Missing Sun Ray ranks added

[Sun Cleric] Sun Ray range increased to 40 yds

[Stormbringer] Flux Arc reworked, now causes Forked Lightning to mark targets, marked targets explode for percentage of received damage from your Call Lightning.(note: While original Flux Arc was effective and simple, it did not support your loop of building/spending Static. With this version you can now effectively build Static using Forked Lightning and use Call Lightning to contribute to AOE damage.

[Stormbringer] Forked Lightning is now a linear spell in front of you instead of a wide cone. (note: While wanting to maintain the Lightning Stormbringer’s range, keeping it as a standard procedure cone caused you to pull enemies significantly outside of normal pull radius and hard to control who you want to hit)

[Pyromancer] Breath of Neltharion now hits multiple enemies, with reduced value per additional target. (note: This and following changes are to move some of your damage into spell usage rather than procs, which is a common confusion point for players trying to pick up this spec)

[Pyromancer] Malygos’s Revenge now interacts with Blaze instead of Ignite, consumes 1 less second.

[Pyromancer] Breath of Malygos is now a transform of Ignite.

[Necromancer] The heal from Transfer Life is no longer logged in combat logs.

[Necromancer] Deathly Chill talent swapped positions with Hail of Arrows to put Hail of Arrows in the Icequake talent line

[Knight of Xoroth] Fixed a bug with Absolutism and Chaos Feast where affected spells instead of ignoring given % value of armor were considered as attacking an enemy with % more armor.

[Guardian] Calculated Strikes now also works with Spear Throw

[Guardian] Centurion Strike no longer regains charges of Valiant Strike baseline, the effect now requires the Battling for Supremacy talent.
