~The Vanguard Team

Alors, les p'tits malins, ils ont ajouté pas mal de modifs dans ce dernier patch

- Factions :
Hier, j'ai repop près de Gardens et j'ai constaté mon status KOS avec Martok (la patrouille de 3 orcs qui passe sur la route était bien aggro)
J'ai ensuite tp au port de Martok et j'ai pu aller sur le ponton sans croiser le moindre aggro et pourtant, y a des orcs dans la zone (ils étaient orange pour moi).

- Energy pool :
Sur mon shaman, je passe de 1122 à 1515, ce qui est pas mal si on en reste là

- Heals de groupe :
J'ai rejoint ma capitale pour train et j'ai effectivement reçu un heal de groupe (550 pv env.) mais je ne pourrais dire le level, les sorts achetables (blanc donc) n'indiquent pas le level. Mais, à 347 energy le heal de groupe, faut bien faire attention.

- Valeurs des abilities :
-> heals : inchangé
-> dots : inchangé
-> DD (insta ou casté) : dmg diminués à première vue
-> DPS loup : globalement inchangé après test sur un 3-dot vert

- Coûts des abilities :
-> heals :
-> dots : (+40% sur mon plus gros dot...)
-> DD :
-> CA : inchangé
En gros, la mana pool a augmenté mais maintenant, à part le slow, les DOTs, ce sera selon la situation et les DD, j'oublie tellement ils sont devenu inutiles.
Par contre, le DPS CaC sera toujours là

- DK : nerf de la fufu mais je pourrais pas dire exactemennt ce qu'il en ait maintenant vu que le patch notes n'est pas très clair.
