WARCRAFT III BETA VERSION HISTORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BETA PATCH 307
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BALANCE CHANGES:
- Runes no longer are on random drop tables. However, they still drop on
Turtle Rock at certain pre-determined locations.
- Ballista hitpoints reduced to 300 from 380, build time increased to 48
from 36, and damage reduced to 1d12 + 38 from 1d14 + 55. Additionally,
Ballistas can no longer damage trees. We will re-add the capability to
attack trees in some capacity in a future patch.
- Breath of Fire now deals 50/100/150 damage by level, down from
70/140/210 damage by level. Its mana cost has also been reduced to 75,
but its DoT from comboing it with Drunken Haze has not changed.
- Impale effect area increased to 300 from 200. It now has the same area
of effect as Shockwave.
- Blood Mage speed increased to 300 from 270.
- Summon Bear now costs 125 mana down from 135 mana.
- Beastmaster speed increased to 320 from 270.
Undocumented change:
Bears and Quilbeasts now have proper formation priority -- Bears will tend towards the front of a formation-enabled group, while Quilbeasts will arrange themselves with archers and ranged heroes (between siege and melee).
