  1. jacce's Avatar
    More frost buffs? Really? I feel stupidly overpowered already and was expecting to see some nerfs but they buff us even more? Meh.

    Drain Life now restores 2% health every 1 sec, up from 0.5 sec. Lasts 1.5 sec, down from 3 sec.
    *scratches head* I dont get it, so it now lasts 1,5sec. But only heals pr 1sec ? so that means a total of 2% health gained pr cast, that's... interesting.
    Also cant say it feels very drain like with just 1,5sec channeling time.

    It's late, I probably missed something...
