I can't play the game right now so I can't test It. If KD and snare of Halt fool last both 3 seconds their effects must be consecutive rather than simultaneous or else the snare element would be unnoticeable/irrelevant/ wasted, unless the snare also applies to the nearby foes, or I am missing/overlooking something. Please explain, I am confused.

IF they have KD immunity, they would still be snared.

Or reduced KD time, with SoS etc.

[Deadpoet]

I see, thanks.

[Keula]

So Dok's Transfer Essence now costs 65 AP apparently. Tested it on some mobs, so it's not just a tooltip bug. Is this an intended change or what? Also don't know if this is an older change, because i haven't played dps dok in a while, but I couldn't find it any older patch notes.

[Cardiff]

Some very interesting changes! Exciting going forward with all the new possibilities, existing builds and team compositions have been fairly well established for a long time, so I think its great to breath new life into the game by mixing things up and letting us find new ways to utilise these reworks. I understand some of the concerns raised but I think we need to remember this isn’t Mythic on live where some changes were made and left to fester for months on end, at least now if anything is under/over performing it can be balanced quickly.

Ultimately when designing reworks like this there’s only so much theory-crafting you can do, in terms of how people will use them and how they will perform in various situations so you’ve just got to go out, see what happens and take it from there!

Looking forward to the kotbs/chosen changes!
