For a while now, Azmodan’s All Shall Burn hasn’t been an attractive ability to build around. We’re making part of March of Sin baseline to make it feel a little more useful in the early game, and reducing the initial cast range but increasing the tether range require to cancel it so that it will more consistently get some value (instead of cancelling immediately if cast at maximum range). A few of his less powerful Talents are also being improved to better fit the gluttonous Lord of Sin’s tastes.

All Shall Burn(E)

- Can now move at 40% base Movement Speed while channeling
- Initial cast range of the ability has been decreased by 7%

The functionality of Covert Ops was overly complex for such a simple concept: Buff your Pinning Shot if you’ve been cloaked for a while. The talent was performing well, so this isn’t an attempt to make it worse or better, but rather make it more clear when you have the bonus and when you don’t. Tactical Espionage, however, was underperforming quite a bit, so we decided to roll some of its components into Advanced Cloaking, since the fantasy and flavor of both talents were so aligned anyways.

Tactical Espionage

Advanced Cloaking

- Now also restores 2 Mana per second while Stealthed

Covert Ops

- After being Stealthed for 5 seconds, Pinning Shot’s slow is increased to 55% and costs no Mana. Bonus is lost after losing Stealth for 1 second.

Relentless Leader

- Now places an inactive button on the item bar to display the cooldown of this talent’s AoE Knockback effect

With the reintroduction of Haunted Mines, we wanted to take a look at Sylvanas and her ability to disable structures. While we feel this is a very important aspect of who Sylvanas is, the Paralysis talent at level 1 pushed this gameplay a little too far. Beyond that, we introduced a new level 1 talent to fill this spot and made some tuning changes to some of her under-performing talents.

Mind Control(R)

- Cooldown decreased from 70 to 60 seconds
- Cast range increased from 10 to 11

Possession(Talent)

- Cooldown decreased from 12 to 8 seconds

Will of the Forsaken(Talent)

- Movement Speed changed from 30 to 40

Dreadful Wake

Paralysis

Before the elves and their Alliance, the forests of Lordaeron belonged to the trolls of the Amani empire. As their warlord, Zul’jin has united the tribes into an army that stands ready to take back what is theirs and to slay the elves who stole it from them.
