Havoc Demon Hunter
Demon HunterBUFFEDDevelopers’ notes: Aldrachi Reaver has fallen well behind the alternative hero talent options for both specs it is available to. We are improving some of its core effects for both specs, and for Havoc specifically the soul fragment generation from Broken Spirit is increasing to give a small boost to Fury generation and hasten the cycle of Reaver’s Glaive and its bonuses.
Aldrachi Reaver
- Art of the Glaive now increases the damage of enhanced strikes by 15% (was 10%) and 30% (was 20%).
- Reaver’s Glaive damage increased by 25%.
- Reaver’s Mark now increases your damage to the target by 7% (was 6%).
- Broken Spirit chance to shatter a Soul Fragment increased to 20% (was 15%).
