[Felsworn] Burning Legionnaire now also works with Twin Slice

[Felsworn] Sunder now has an 8 sec cooldown

[Templar] Crusader level 30 passive now works with Argent Blade and Warrior of Dawn. Note: This was done because its old design was based on the Alpha design of the Oath system and did not encourage the gameplay we were aiming for on the spec.

[Templar] Rebuke now only dispels 1 from 2, but now has no cooldown and costs 20 Energy from 40

[Templar] Finesse has been swapped with Courage

[Templar] Judgement swapped with Chivalric and now has a new effect. Note: This was done because Crusader had too many triggers for damage.

[Templar] Titanstrike has been reworked and is now available to the entire class at level 34

[Templar] Fervent Castigation will now instead start your next Oath chain with Oath: Retribution.

[Sun Cleric] Everglow/Sun Strength swapped with Hope due to Radiant Cascade acquisition placing being out of line for them to benefit.

[Runemaster] Blade Rift down to 10% from 20%

[Runemaster] Glyphic Overload and Glyphic Infusion have been combined and a new Level 30 passive has been added. Note: This was done because both abilities were often clicked together and because it was not implicit to many players that Glyphic Overload buffed glyphs but did not generate them.

[Runemaster] Smolder rank acquisition evened out. Value changed appropriately.

[Pyromancer] You can now mount up without dropping Draconic Aspect.

[Barbarian] Fixed rank level value of Ale of the God-King.

[Barbarian] Owner Agility -> Pet Attack Power scaling of Honored Ancestor reduced by 20%.

[Barbarian] Defiance will no longer suffer from self diminishing returns. The buff tooltip now also reads its current applied value.

[General] Updated buff values across the board to be more in line with their acquisition level.

[General] NPCs using Weapon based Abilities will now properly get prevented from casting when disarmed of the weapon type the spell requires.

Fixed a bug where Elementium Arrow s and Bullets were not stacking up to 9,999.

Fixed Chromaggus’ Chromatic Adaptations causing mixed-school spells to be both increased and reduced at the same time. For example: Chaos Bolt, Shadowburn, Frostfire Bolt, Elemental Blast, The Absolute Zero Fist Weapn Set, etc would be increased via the damage done, but then also reduced by the 20% of the other element that they deal.

Fixed a bug Where Arcane Empowerment wasn't increasing the Healing of Arcane Mending and Arcane Resonance.

Meteor and Shards of Magic now stop triggering while players are dead, outside the Manastorm, still entering, or protected by the Manastorm safety bubble.

Fixed Shards of Magic - They now preserve their original ground location instead of retargeting directly ontop of you every tick.

Fixed Shards of Magic - They now preserve their original ground location instead of retargeting directly ontop of you every tick.

Fixed the Manastorm Meteor affix so meteors now correctly land at the affected player’s position instead of misfiring always landing on the player.

Missile Barrage and Pushing the Limit will now work with Arcane Resonance instead of just arcane missiles.

Arcane Resonance healing from Missile Barrage now uses the current target instead of the caster to find closest allies. This heals allies within 30 yds of the target.

Fixed an issue where Nefarian’s gauntlet summons were not being tracked correctly and would re-appear in the next attempt if you did not kill them.

The Raider's Commendation vendor and High Risk drops have been updated! They now have the NEW items from BWL and the new items from the boss.

[Bloodmage] Cruel Intent now gives 3 attacks instead of 5. [Pending Restart]

Developer's Note: Shadra's Prayer was underperforming in certain brackets due to two main reasons. In early levels, it just did not grow enough, so rank 2 sees a pretty significant increase to ensure that it is growing enough to be noticeable compared to rank 1. As it stood, you gained exactly 1 point of healing going from the max value of rank 1 to the minimum value of rank 2. Another issue was that cast time was staggered when it was not intended to be. Ranks 1-4 had a cast time of two seconds, but then at rank 5 it increased to 2.5 seconds. We have changed this to a consistent 2s cast time across all ranks. Finally, rank 10 in specific was overperforming due to some heavy handed buffs that were given out previously in the alpha, we have reined this back in to be a more consistent gain. Going from rank 9 to rank 10, you gained about 70% healing, which is too significant of a spike, so rank 10 was reined in to be in line with expected growth.

[Pending Restart] - [Venomancer] - Shadra's Prayer Ranks 5-10 have had their cast time reduced by 0.5seconds to match the cast time of ranks 1-4 (2s).

Developer's Note: While we want thorns effects to exist, there was some disparity in their strength. Razorice was strictly better at most level brackets, and since they are grouped together, Bloodthorns was never usable. In general as well, the free damage granted by thorns analogues was just a little higher than we would like to see from a completely passive form of damage. For these reasons, they have been brought down, with Razorice brought down a bit more than Bloodthorns as it was outpacing it at all brackets. This only touched base values, scaling remains as it was to still allow gear to make a meaningful impact.

[Pending Restart] - [Necromancer] - Razorice (Rank 7) - Damage decreased by 63.1%. This rank is available at level 58.

[Sun Cleric] - Fixed an issue where Sunlight, the level 10 Blessings spec passive, would not trigger until you reached level 20 and learned Sun Worship. This has been fixed live.

[Necromancer] - Fixed an issue where if a target left your range between the cast of a Glacial Impact and it landing, it would fail to do damage. This has been fixed live.
