Weaponskill / Ability | The potency falloff past the initial target has been changed from -50% to -60%. |
Paladin's 2-target burst damage was nerfed with the magic sequence having more potency falloff. However, the base AoE combo and Holy Circle being buffed does
actually increase overall AoE throughput in mass pull scenarios (4+ targets) even factoring in the nerf to your
Confiteor combo. In single target, Paladin's damage remains unchanged.
