J'y connais rien en POM mais la plupart des feedbacks sont pour le moment positifs quant au patchnote à proprement parler, la maj n'ayant été mise en ligne que cette nuit sur le serveur test.
**These notes do not necessarily reflect the final version that will be deployed on Live**
The Priest of Mitra feat trees have primarily been improved and streamlined, the play style of the Priest of Mitra will not change dramatically with these changes. Several core spells have been tweaked or redesigned to make them more useful and less situational, some made more user-friendly, all changes done with the main goal of improving the gameplay experience of the Priest of Mitra. Players should now be able to get a clear understanding of what each of the feat trees grant them, and make an informed choice on which of the two endfeat-lines they wish to invest in.
Divinity is a good choice for a priest who wants to focus on becoming the primary healer. The Divinity feat tree will expand the priest's divine knowledge with new prayers and heal empowering feats like Lance of Mitra, Divine Lance, Blessing of Mitra, Divine Halo, Divine Salvation and Holy Cleansing. A Divinity priest will also become a strong damage dealer, though primarily against single targets. He can empower his core damage spells to improve heals and investing divine power into channelling holy damage on his target through the use of the Condemnation spell. The Divinity priest is also a strong crowd controller with increased damage and range for Repulse and extra immunity and utilities like Exorcism, Spiritual Warding and Avatar of Mitra. Focus of the Divinity tree will improve the healing capacity of the priest, shield companions and protect the group through additional crowd control utilities.
Vengeance is the clear choice for any priest that wants face the challenges of taking down several enemies on the battlefield at the same time. The Vengeance priest boosts his AoE damage through healing. By investing points into feats like Cleansing Fire, Sacred Fire and Mitra’s Searing Eye, the priest is granted a new vengeful damage bonus through the Sacred Smite. The priest's healing prayers can also be infused to become powerful area damage spells by investing into Purification of Mitra. Additional points invested into the Immortal Wrath feat line specializes the Priest further into the field of area damage. The main focus of the Vengeance tree is not only area damage, however. Vengeance priests also supports and empowers their team with unique team buffs like Glowing Radiance, The Light Within, Guardian Spirit, Vengeful Devotion and Manifestation of Mitra.
General Priest of Mitra Changes
