Those will be included in the final patch notes but yes Choppa and Slayer AoE Bugs are addressed.
Edit: Added some of the important Bug Fixes, relevant to the Balance Notes, to the original post.
As a skeptical SM main I have to admit this looks pretty nice across the board. Shieldmaster is has some interesting options now and the AOE interrupt change is a good realm balance thing to match Mara.Hazmy wrote: Mon Apr 29, 2024 8:59 pm
Balance Changes
- Crashing Wave - Now knocks down on the initial. The initial hit is now fired instantly on pressing the ability. Now counts as direct damage. Also no longer gives Unstoppable (bug fix).
- Crashing Wave - Now requires Improved Balance and leads to Perfect Balance.
- Mighty Gale - Now requires Perfect Balance and leads to Normal Balance.
- Hoeth’s Tempest - Now further increases the power of the knockback.
- Redirected Force - Now deals (150 + 0.67 x DB + 1.0 x WDPS) damage to all targets in front of you within 20 ft (220 degrees) and interrupt any spells they are casting. Cooldown increased from 5 to 10s.
- Crushing Advance - No longer interrupts. Instead Block chance is increased from 5% to 10%.
- Perfect Defenses - Reworked to give 5% Block with an additional 5% Block with Improved Balance and 10% Block with Perfect Balance.
- Calming Winds - Reworked to give 10% Disrupt with an additional 5% Disrupt with Improved Balance and 10% Disrupt with Perfect Balance.
- Ether Dance - Moved to 9 points in Path of Khaine
- Phoenix’s Wing - Moved to 5 points in Path of Khaine. No longer requires Improved Balance, instead now leads to Improved Balance. No longer requires Great Weapon. Action Point cost increased to 35.
- Sapping Strike - Moved to 13 points in Path of Khaine and reworked to: Hex. 35 AP. 5 ft range. Instant. No CD. Requires Great Weapon. Requires Improved Balance. Leads to Perfect Balance. - You deal 5 x (112 + 0.67 x DB + 0.67 x WDPS) Spirit damage over 10 seconds, increasing your chance to critically hit by 10% for the same duration. If you are behind the target, you instantly deal (187 + 1.5 x DB + 1.5 x WDPS) Spirit damage.
Crashing Wave now instantly knocks down the target when pressed instead of having a weird delay.
We swapped the stances of knockback and knockdown as we believe this can lead to better CC rotations into your own burst damage. This change will be closely tracked to see if it has the effect we aim it to have.
For the middle tree, Redirected Force now has the AoE interrupt, allowing both SnB and 2H specs to gain access to this tool. The block of Crushing Advance is increased as compensation.
Perfect Defenses and Calming Winds have been reworked to rely less on your current stance.
The knockback of Mighty Gale when using Hoeth’s Tempest is increased as we felt like the knockback was too weak to warrant a tactic.
At last several changes in the Path of Khaine. Sapping Strike is reworked as the new 13 pt ability. With two great utility options as other 13 pt abilities, this ability is focused purely on buffing your own damage. Ether Dance is moved to 9 pts, which will make it easy to combine with Vaul’s Buffer or Whispering Wind. At last, Phoenix’s Wing takes the 5 pt spot in the tree and is changed to Stance 1 ability and has the 2H requirement removed.
