Hmm.. Seems my necro's traits+ combos for wvwvw will have to be tweaked. Seeing as I only use DS to GTFO or hold nodes, I'm quite happy with the patch so far as my build is pretty heavy on wells.

Not sure how effective torment is going to be, but from the looks of it... many lulz will be had with mini zergs from Trackstar Coast .

Also... any condition engineers on SoS wanna roam with me? biggrin.gif
