    "Glyph of Drain Life Increases your maximum Soul Shards by 1. Increases the healing of your Drain Life by 30%. "

    Wait... so we get our Glyph of Soul Shards removed and we get an increase to Drain Life instead?... how does that even relate??

    Warriors getting some nice buffs, but a couple nerfs as well. Glad to see this <3

    Wait, is Prep going BASELINE and replaced with Hit and run?!
  1. Leyre's Avatar
    asdsad didnt read it very well xD!!! that would be awesome if Prep now is a baseline spell, no more changing talents for me yay!
  1. Rhozul's Avatar
    Paladins: Another nerf to Protection damage? *shakes head* The changes to Eternal Flame and Hand of Purity definitely make those options more attractive, but I still think that Hand of Purity is a little on the niche side to see serious use.

    Rogues: Hit and Run actually looks pretty cool. And very interesting that Preparation is now baseline. I wonder how long it'll take for Mages to start begging for a baseline Cold Snap?

    Jewelcrafting: Interesting that this is how they're choosing to add PvP Power / PvP Resilience to the Jewelcrafting Bonuses. I guess they didn't want you to be able to give up all your bonus on a huge stat increase to the stats, though.
