O2%?

Think that is a typo there.

*NEW*- Carve reduces the remaining cooldown on Wildfire Bomb by 1 sec for each target hit, up to 5.

 

Carve has done this since Bfa released. Not sure how that's "new".

In the latest PTR build, the second portion of Carve was moved to rank 2 (Carve ). The tooltips do not reflect this change for some reason.

This is also a typo. O2% is actually 40% for Lightning Lasso. Fixed both instances. Thanks for your input!
