Will try out the bow druid, hope the bear companion isn't stingy in casting the heart of the pack skill it sounds like that could make a big difference. Also now there is no source of increasing bow physical damage it sounds like the build is to be based around elemental damage? I haven't been a fan of them as life sustain has always been a problem but hope it works out

Barb stances:
These buffs last 20 minutes, overwrite each other and can be turned off upon a recast

I think recasting a barb stance = turning it off, is a terrible idea... if you don't want that stance, cast a different one? It's going to be annoying when you are precasting on joining a game or even accidentally turn it off and not notice. I can't think of a time when it would be an issue to have a particular stance on that couldn't be corrected by casting a different stance.

thoughts?

Does this mean that the old lifeshield skill is now limited to the nature tree? It wasn't totally clear if it was locked out by a devotion skill

Nature tree doesn't lock other trees from being used, and vice versa. If this is what you're asking.

I suppose you didn't read the parts where it said how much damage they do and then wrote "and bonus fire damage" for example.

this would mean it does x% wdm and adds flat damage on top, not converts.

keep the xbow hype quiet, we have to let everyone play meta druid and barb so necro items are cheaper

I think worst part is the fact that SA and demiurge now have different durations making it slightly more awkward to rebuff..

A big nerf to laz sleep! Confuesd why moving the +1 max res to blank sleep.
Laz sleep now only has 20% max life and some speed (which may not matter much in late game) left.....
In this case, I may consider using the Triune sleep for 22.5 damage and 15% aa instead of 20% max life and some speed....

Super dope changes. Great work team! Hopefully next season we can see some reworks on the Barb melee sets!
