Missile range decreased by 50% (The overall travel length remains the same)

Tooltip updated to now display Casting Delay.Casting Delay will no longer share its cooldown with other skills that have Casting Delays.Lastly, we are allowing Shapeshift forms to cast each of the elemental buff skills to avoid the current hassle of having to change forms to continuously maintain these active buffs.

In addition, we wanted to complement the “Arctic Blast” changes with improvements to “Twister” to add more build possibilities. We felt that “Arctic Blast” is generally lacking power, so we are increasing the damage scaling, reducing the synergy requirements to free up skill points, and improving the general player controls to allow for smoother freeform targeting. In addition, we are increasing the physical damage scaling for Fire skills to be a reliable alternative damage source. So the more points spent in this skill, the better Dire Wolves and Grizzlys will be at hitting their enemies and avoid getting hit.ĭire Wolves in turn provide the Spirit Wolves with increased life, and the Grizzly them with damage, making it absolutely vital for a Summoning druid to spend as many points as possible into his summons.Developer Notes: With the Casting Delay changes, Druid Fire skills are generally going to be more widely used. Spirit Wolves, if focused on however, are synergistic with Summon Dire Wolf and Summon Grizzly, providing passive bonuses to both their own and the other summons' Attack Rating and Defense by the same percentage as seen above in the table. With this in mind, most druids simply focus on Summon Grizzly to act as a tank and all but ignore the wolves, but which is unwise. Spirit Wolves are weaker than Skeletons summoned by the Necromancer, and a Summoning Druid never reaches quite the power that a Summonancer does. Summon Spirit Wolf is the second useful summoning skill the Druid has, although the usefulness of it is undebated.
