Classes

Shaman

  • Water Shield now properly has a proc cooldown.
  • Healing Stream Totem no longer heals allies outside of your group.

Paladin

  • Paladin Racial Seals no longer stack with other paladin seals.

  • Shadow Embrace now counts as an Affliction Warlock effect for Soul Siphon.

Experimental

We have adjusted the base stats of many creatures in the world.

We have also retuned and reworked how our creature scaling works to accomplish the following:

  • Smooth out the scaling across levels. We originally designed this to "jump" with each new talent point but not all talents are created equal and this felt bad for many classes. We're moving to a more linear scale so this is easier to predict.
  • Increase the floor but in some cases lower the ceiling by expanding our scaling down to level 1 to provide an immediately noticable change.

Normal Creatures

Baseline now have a 10% HP, 10% Damage and 10% Mana buff. This scales to 35% HP, 30% Damage and 30% Mana buff at 60+. This is an increase at all level brackets.

Rare Creatures

Baseline now have a 15% HP, 15% Damage and 15% Mana buff. This scales to 42% HP, 37% Damage and 37% Mana buff at 60+. This is an increase at all level brackets.

Elite Creatures

Baseline now have a 25% HP, 20% Damage and 20% Mana buff. This scales to 50% HP, 46% Damage and 46% Mana buff at 60+. This is a notable increase at the low end but evening out to roughly the same as we have now at 60+.

Boss Creatures

Baseline now have a 30% HP, 30% Damage and 20% Mana buff. This scales to 140% HP, 50% Damage and 140% Mana buff at 60+. This enforces our baseline increase at the bottom end but reducing health pools for bosses by a good amount overall.
