Legend


Azmodan

Developer Comment: In Azmodan's update, we've embraced and expanded his role as a late-game siege monster. He now has a baseline stacking quest for Globe of Annihilation that's a hybrid of the old Taste for Blood and Sieging Wrath Talents. Whether you're focusing on PvE or PvP objectives you should see Globe of Annihilation become more powerful as a game goes on. To compensate for this increase in baseline power, we've made Globe's impact area more quickly visible to enemies, which will give them a chance to dodge their impending doom. We've also made major mechanical changes to Black Pool (now called Tide of Sin) and focused it solely on Globe's damage without the need for targeting or alt-casting. Demon Warriors are now individually stronger and deal constant AoE damage, but are slower and no longer have multiple charges. The new All Shall Burn should be much more consistently useful and certain Talent combinations can be used boost Azmodan's short to mid-range potential. Demon Lieutenant (formerly General Of Hell) is still a global pushing ability, but is less reliant on needing a large Minion wave to get value. Demonic Invasion's changes are geared towards expanding its use in PvP scenarios without affecting its old structure-bustin' potential. Dropping an Invasion on the enemy team will force them to run away or take a large amount of delayed damage.

Raynor

Developer Comment: We're extremely excited to bring Raynor's long- awaited rework to the Nexus! We've been reading and absorbing all the amazing feedback that you have sent us over the past year and think the new design will do him justice. We've massively increased his wave-clear potential with a new Trait and completely overhauled his Talent tree (one of the oldest in the game). Raynor mains should have a whole new set of tools to play around with while new users should still be able to pick him up and right-click their way to victory. We have been having a ton of fun with the changes and hope you do as well. As always, please send us any feedback you have and get ready to fill your enemies full of daylight!
