Balance
  • Channeler's Call Lightning damage has been reduced by 20%.
  • Necromancer's Unholy Storm damage has been reduced by 20%.
  • Prelate's Saint Lorne's Ire damage has been reduced by 5%.
  • Health suffixes found on armor have been reduced from "20/30/40/50/60/70/80/100/125" to "5/10/15/20/30/40/50/60/75".

This balance portion is put together due to the potency of high-powered casters, and the meta of burst-AEs. We hope that this slight reduction in power won't result in a pendulum swing, and that more armor suffixes may become viable as a result.
