• Druid
  • Born Anew’s (Conduit) primary stat bonus reduces to 20 upon the beginning of a new encounter.
    • Developers’ note: The intent of this bonus is to provide a benefit when using resurrections in combat. But it is best to avoid situations where players might feel compelled to min/max something like this before starting a pull.
