Journal de Mise à Jour d'Ascension

[Witch Doctor] Spirit Eclipse reimagined, and now spends all of your active spirits, sending them at the enemy to explode.

[Witch Doctor] To accommodate the spirit rework, a new visual is attached to spirits to keep the thematics of spirits intact.

[Witch Doctor] Dambala’s Lethality and Dark Loa’s Incantation now have Shadowflare synergy

[Witch Doctor] Spirits reworked, and are now attached to the caster. You no longer summon, or have to run over them. Where you would previously summon a spirit, you are now just granted the buff.

[Templar] Chastise Icon updated

[Sun Cleric] Reborn in Flames reworked to Dawnfall

[Sun Cleric] Sunrise Holy Damage increased from 15% to 30%

[Sun Cleric] Sun Ray range increased to 40 yds

[Sun Cleric] Missing Sun Ray ranks added

[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] Overwhelming Flames now in switch with a new node Concentrated Breath., a new talent that increases damage of Breath of Neltharion but reduces its target count

[Pyromancer] Dragonstorm now in a switch with new node Draconic Attunement.

[Pyromancer] Dragonstorm reworked.

[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] Valdrakken Adept reworked, now causes Slagstone to deal additional periodic damage against targets affected by Blaze. (note: this will partially fill the proc source gap of Magmatic created by transformation of Ignite.

[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] Curse of the Lich no longer triggers additional damage and instead increases the damage of your Lich Blast (10 stack Deathchill damage proc from Lich Form) with each stack alongside reducing casting speed.

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

[Necromancer] Arctic Blast is now reflavored to Animate: Frost Giant. It is the same spell, but it now also animates a Frost Giant and has no visual missile.

[Necromancer] Command: Abomination now slows the target’s movement speed to a halt instead of rooting. (Which resulted in occasional interaction of root preventing the pull)
