Mage General Feature Image

With the large amounts of Mage Stormcaller changes having gone out on PTS for a while now, Mage and Cleric Class Dev Kervik has now shifted his focus onto Pyromancer changes; and there are a lot of changes.

One of the biggest changes will be the removal of Combust.

ETA:

  • Won’t be up on PTS for at least another 1 or 2 weeks.
  • Won’t be up on LIVE until Patch 2.8. (no ETA on Patch 2.8).

Changes are below. You can also check out the thread and provide any feedback or discussion on the new Pyromancer changes here.
