I think the Battler Rage change is in regards to the rune which increases it to 300. If that's being removed, then it makes sense there is a new effect that is being added?

I was hoping to get more use out of my crusader. These are all good changes all around for each class. Looking forward to more appearing.

No love for the monks? Feel like they are underpowered and deserve a bump damagewise.

So basically monks are being shafted, once again. We're already the weakest class in the game, now you buff every one else and give us a tooltip? gg, no wonder nobody plays monk anymore.

There is always the off chance our tools just are not finding the rest of the monk changes (though very unlikely)

Nice, though hopefully this is only like half the patch notes and get a bunch of item improvements of some sort cause current rate is kind of whack still.

The Crusader changes are much needed (except the Fires of Heaven one *shakes fist*). Something other than BH might actually be viable now! Still, I hope they plan on addressing our scaling problems, specifically block being terrible past T1. It's going to be interesting to see how these changes pan out. I really hope to see some Shield Bash builds gaining traction.

One thing I noticed in the crusader datamine section, it says shield bash is 740% up from 550% but ingame right now the crusader's shield bash does 325%.

If that is indeed a change from 325% to 740% that is one hell of a buff on that ability especially with 500% of shield block ontop.
My thoughts exactly... if they fix the pathing issue, this skill would be an absolute beast.
I think it is a posting error. The listed damage changes (550% for the hit, and 150% from the shield block chance) is the stats for Pound, not the core spell. More likely that Shield Bash will go from 325% / 300% to 380% / 335% (same as Shattered Shield, which uses equal values for the core skill and shotgun cone it creates).

Intriguing changes. Will be interesting to read the full notes. I hope theres buffs to Wrath generation.

Hammer of Pursuit is sure doing a LOT of damage for a ranged builder, makes Smite seem rather puny in comparision.

Sure some significant buffs to Shield Bash. I like the skill, and it was overcosted for the damage it did! Especially the pound rune should be lovely with the leggy shield that reduces the cost.

Fissure is looking interesting. But I dont think it will be enough to redeem it. Fissure still costs too much Wrath with such a heavy positional and shortlived requirement. Especially with how much monsters is moving at times. Now divine well on the other hand, basically its adding a 80% damage aura to every holy bolt. Now that sounds lovely!

Blessed shield on the other hand is looking quite appealing now, higher damage and a strong buff to combust.

yeah it seems the base shield bash values were funky - I have removed them for now. Will have a double look at the scripting for those skills and see whats up with the datamining with them.

I can't understand why they only buff the damage of barbarian's primary attacks.If they want a barbarian to use a primary skill they just should, at least, double the fury generated by those attacks.

They should also make those skills work differently if using a 1h or a 2h (probably they should do the same for every class... keep dreaming on :S)

Crusader changes are extremly underwhelming, the main problem with the abilities they buffed is not the damage, its the resource cost, Blessed Hammer will still be superior in every way because it only cost 10 Wrath. Why would one use Fist of Heaven for example wich costs 30 Wrath and does 340% weapon damage when with the same resource cost u can cast 3 Blessed Hammer effectively doing 600% weapon dmg without counting Blunt passive. Every single other spender of the crusader is sooooo resource unefficient compared to blessed hammer. Just my humble opinion!

Would be nice if Crusader was given the 30% DR like the other melee classes. I guess when Blizz thought "the Crusader is a walking shield" that they forgot to realize that majority of the dangers of a melee class can't be blocked.

And in response to that my crusader does not feel like it needs another 30% passive DR. it would first of all hardly make a dent in my current 97% DR, everything is multiplicative but I still dont think the majority of the player base knows how to do that math.

Theway I play my crusader btw to all those who think block is bad, no life regen at all, use the passive that returns health on a block. Heals me quite nicely at 55% block chance

I'm not happy with the Fires of Heaven nerf, that was imo our (crusaders) best spender. Else it's nice changes but it needs more.
The best spender atm is Fist of the Heavens with Retribution rune - up to 1050% damage on a single target, large AoE, lower cost than FoH. The only problem with it is that its getting stuck on small bumps and rocks, which i hope is getting fixed in this patch.

Wonder if there is a buff to Retribution rune as well , btw , considering they buff the base damage of the skill.

Fist of Heaven sucks up to 1050% dmg hahaha maybe once a year u get such an optimal situation that mobs will get hit by every orb, Blessed Hammer is the best spender and its not even a contest... so many ppl look at the ability tooltip dps and go "wow this is the best", but never look at the wrath cost, FoH is 30 wrath BH is 10, u can use 3 blessed hammer everytime u cast 1 FoH, and BH hits with its full dmg potential ALL the time
