Vengeance 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.
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 8% (was 7%).
Vengeance Demon Hunter
Demon HunterBUFFEDDevelopers’ notes: Vengeance is still performing below expectations defensively, so universal mitigation effects are getting a buff. Additionally, Fel Devastation’s effectiveness as a recovery tool has fallen behind as maximum health pools go up, so its healing is being increased.
- Demonic Wards now reduces damage taken by 15% (was 12%).
- Void Reaver now causes Frailty to reduce damage taken by 6% (was 5%).
- Fel Devastation healing increased by 25%.
Vengeance Demon Hunter
Demon HunterBUFFED- Mastery: Fel Blood effectiveness increased by 24%.
