I feel like even small numerical changes for some melee skills would go a long way for melee players.. Well gotta wait till June I guess.

Small numerical changes still take a fair bit of time and careful planning but I will make sure the team hears this feedback.

We try to focus on one area of balance with each major expansion to address that area as thoroughly as we can. Around the time that we started scoping 3.6.0, handcasting and lack of powerful spell variety were big topics both in the community and in our design discussions. We feel that the changes in 3.6.0 greatly improve the spellcasting situation and are very much looking forward to your feedback on these when you get to play the expansion.

As for melee, it's certainly on our radar and is likely to be the focus of 3.7.0 balance work. The design team have some good ideas that I'm quite excited about.

Do they usually release all of the details about balances/changes/new moves before the update goes live?

Absolutely! Check out our news and teasers over the next couple of weeks. We'll also do post a Development Manifesto about game balance about five days ahead of the launch.

Bex loves gif threads, but somehow I doubt she'll participate in this one :^)

I'll take your reverse psychology bait. I'm hacking into this gif thread.

It’s unlikely that there will be one for a while but it’s very likely that we will continue to showcase them in the news.

Bex spun in her desk chair, apoplectic, waiting for someone to mention self-casting on the subreddit.

"Soon," she thought. "Soon."

Hopefully this results in self-cast being more viable in the end.

You should be pleased with tomorrow's announcements.

Alongside the new league, a huge number of spells are being rebalanced. A few are also receiving mechanical changes, the most extreme changes being to Storm Burst. Today we're going to go over all of the changes it's receiving.

While you channel Storm Burst, orbs of lightning are created around your target. While you channel, they jump towards your target and release bursts of damage. By moving where you target while you channel, you can direct them to enemies to create a swarm of electric death.



They'll last for a few seconds, but if you stop channelling then the orbs will detonate immediately in a large area, dealing a portion of their remaining damage. This lets short casts deal damage quickly in a sizeable area, while long casts have higher overall damage as more orbs are created and deal thei... Read more

There are only a couple of days left until we reveal the full details of our next expansion. Today we'd like to take a moment to remind you about the end of the Betrayal Supporter Packs and several upcoming dates to be aware of.

At the time of the announcement we will release a new set of league supporter packs and this means that the Betrayal Suppor... Read more
