- While Frenzied, the Slayer has their Armor and Resistances reduced by 25%.
Does this mean furious and berserk both have a 25% penalty, starting at 25 rage?
- Spine Crusher - Base damage reduced from 225 to 187.
- Go For Da Soft Spot - Base damage reduced from 225 to 187.
- Slasha - Base damage reduced from 187 to 150.
- Pulverizing Strike - Base damage reduced from 187 to 150.
I don't understand the rationale of these changes. Why are these ST abilities of these classes being heavily nerfed?
I think it's so that “yellow” abilities are noticeably stronger than basic ones and to eliminate the possibility of being good at both ST and AOE at the same time.

Powerful changes. Congratulations.
WL/Mara aoe nerf - great job
WL/Mara arm pene nerf - great job
Ramapage - I'm not sure if it's worth going back to what we've already covered. I understand that the new avoid formula will work on the new-old Rampage (you can't have less than 50% of your avoids).
Very interesting ideas.
Thank you for your work.

Fun fact: devs nerfed ST mara armor pen as well and in multiple ways. Not only Piercing Bite is much weaker, but Impale got 10s CD and got kinda "replaced" by Flail as "spammable", which doesn't even contribute from PB as it doesn't require any mutation at all.

Seems so, tho what i understood its a tad more kiteable but has little More regen (speed buff removed and regen added) no changes to witchbrew/kiss proc spam tho so fighting them in melee is likely the same as pre patch

I liked the changes. Now I have lots of things to do!
What I didn't like is the nerf on WL - Fetch ability. Once Mara's pull isn't affected by cc, the lion pet is and reducing it's range to 5 feets is a too strong nerf imo.

I haven't read the balance changes yet but I have to say the warband leader crowns might be the best addition since I've been playing. What a huge QoL change for RvR! In addition, making the loot rolls dungeon wide is appreciated, as I'm sure anyone who has accidentally released can attest to. Thanks!
