As some of you may have noticed, two new beastlord spells have entered the game: Harsh Winter, a level 59 spell purchasable from npcs, and Venom of the Wild, a level 64 spell which must be farmed or purchased from other players.
Venom of the Wild is a fast-acting and powerful, but inefficient, DoT spell. Harsh Winter is a mediocre direct damage spell that casts a recourse on the beastlord, improving the damage of all DoT effects that beastlord currently has running for the next three ticks.
In addition, the beastlord spell Rage of the Wild has had its duration cut in half, but has had it's damage-per-tick improvement improved. Specifically, it goes up 18 base per tick instead of 9, but lasts half as long.
Discussion of these new spells goes here.
As a final note, these spells are subject to change for the next few patches while they're tweaked to make sense balance-wise. |
