Изменения у варов
Hello Warriors, I want to thank you all for your continued patience as we work to resolve issues with Warrior DPS, and for the great feedback you have been giving us. The changes we submitted up to Test balanced out our DPS numbers across our DPS souls but the changes also reduced all of the souls to a level that was below what we intended. In response to the changes we made, and your feedback we have made several further changes to improve all the Warrior DPS souls and balance them so that you have multiple builds to choose from and do not feel trapped in a single cookie cutter build. So without further ado, I am going to give you all a preview of the changes you should see very soon on Alpha. Please keep up the great feedback and thank you all for your patience.
Champion:
* Destroyer’s Bearing - No longer increases the damage of only Attack Point consuming abilities, it now affects all ability attacks.
* Two Handed Specialization - Is now called Weapon Specialization and enhances all attacks, ranged attacks receive half the bonus melee does.
Paragon:
* Teaching of the Five Rings - Now enhances all attacks, ranged attacks receive half the bonus melee does.
* Way of the Mountain - The damage increase to follow up attacks has been increased to 30%.
* Way of the Wind - Now deals its damage as Air damage instead of Physical damage.
* Paired Strike - Now deals Air damage instead of Physical damage. The number of follow up attacks that critically hit has increased from 1 to 3.
* Strike Like Iron – The Damage enhancement has been increased to 20/35/50%.
* Deadly Grace - Now deals damage based on how many points have been spent in the Paragon soul tree. The balance is set so that if you take Deadly Grace when it is first available it will give the same bonus that it used to, from there it will go up for every point spent in the Paragon soul.
Beastmaster:
* Fight As One - Now increases the chance to get a critical hit by 5/10/15% and melee damage by 15/30/45%. It has also had its duration increased to 30 seconds and its cooldown reduced to 25 seconds.
Riftblade:
* Avatar of the Rift - Increased the amount that attack power affects Elemental ability attacks.
* Elemental Touch - Now based on a percentage of Attack Power. This percentage is modified by the number of points spent in the Riftblade soul.
* Enhanced Burst - Now 3 points and increases damage by 10/20/30%.
* Empowered Strikes - New Tier 5 talent that enhances Autoattack damage by a percentage of Attack Power. This percentage is modified by the number of points spent in the Riftblade soul.
* Soul Tree points have been reset due to the addition of a new talent.
I just wanted to step in briefly to address a misconception regarding the new Weapon Specialization and Teaching of the five Rings. These talents now stack with one another and are no longer limited by weapon type. This gives purpose to taking them regardless of the type of weapon you choose to use.

Sweet and I have been going over the feedback on the latest changes to hit the Test server, and I wanted to take a moment to fill you in on some updates that are in the pipe for PTS.
First off, the Chloromancer changes. We agree that keeping the unique playstyle of the Chloromancer is important and have some changes that will allow a majority of your tank healing to continue to come from damage sources instead of direct casted heals. Natural Healing will be sticking around in order to help fill the healing role when your enemy is immune to damage or when there is no enemy to damage at all. The main changes are affecting Void Life, Natural Splendor and Bloom.
* Void Life – This ability now channels destructive energy at the enemy, dealing Life damage to the enemy each second for 3 seconds. Causes Lifebound Veil to trigger an additional heal on the ally with the Mage’s Synthesis buff for an additional 90% of the damage dealt.
* Natural Splendor - This ability now channels a beam of corrosive energy into the enemy, dealing Life damage over 8 seconds to the enemy and up to 8 enemies within 7 meters of the enemy. Up to 8 allies within 7 meters of the targeted enemy heal health over 8 seconds. Consumes Charge while active.
* Increased healing done by Bloom.
This does still leave the Chloromancer with choosing between tank healing and AoE healing. It also continues with the pure Chloromancers as the best single target healers of the Mages, and hybrid builds as the better AoE healers, potentially more so than they are on LIVE right now.
In addition to the Chloromancer changes, there are several other updates that should help address a few player concerns on other souls as well.
Warlock
* Increased damage of Defile.
* Reduced Charge consumption of Empowered Darkness and reduced the cooldown to 30 seconds.
* Neddra’s Influence now increases the damage dealt by your Death damage over time spells by 5/10/15%, plus an additional 0.5/1/1.5% for each point spent in the Warlock soul.
Pyromancer
* Increased the Burning Bright bonus to Fire damage to 0.4/0.8/1.2% for each point spent in the Pyromancer soul for PVE damage, PVP damage still uses the previous 0.2/0.4/0.6% bonus.
* The damage of Fulminate and Cinder Burst has been reduced by 20% in PVP.
* Inferno now triggers a global cooldown when it is cast, and the damage has been reduced by 10% in PvP.
Necromancer
* Increased the Life Bane bonus to undead pet damage to 0.6/1.2/1.8/2.4/3% for each point spent in the Necromancer soul
This changes should be hitting PTS within the next day or two, and we’ll probably have a few more small updates as we finish fine tuning for Patch 1.3
Void Life
Both the charge consumption and re-use time have been removed.
