Spider Love: WOH Patch Notes Notes

You can see the notes in their entirety by ...patching the game.

Just a couple observations from things jumping out at me:

Total character wipe. All our XP, stats, friends - reset.
Ranged was indeed nerfed from 100' to 65' (except for the Sorceress and Shadow Warrior), a pretty heavy-handed move that definitely changes things for the Shaman, Bright Wizard and the poor Engineer who was already pretty herpadurp. Keep reading below for more on that...
Fixed a couple issues with targeting that should hopefully help us out. (Yay.)
Tactics are disabled this round. (Boo!)
They've added a meaningless 'Rewards Spinner' at the end of scenarios. Fuck yeah!
But this combines two of my favorite things - Mystery and Prizes. I feel like there should be a Wheel of Fortune feature in every game. I'm completely serious.

On to the heroes:

Amenadresh the Lich Priest aka Manny the Mummy:
His damage reduction bubble now is a field that heals allies for some of the damage they deal. His Area-Effect abilities now follow the target enemy and his animations have been tweaked, so hopefully they're less obnoxiously blinding.

This should be a more fun hero to play, but I wonder about how all these debuffers' nasty herpes effects will affect general survivability.

Bax the Black Orc:
Run speed slightly increased.
Wait, what? Increased? He was ... buffed? ...Did ... wait, ... what?

Conrad the Warrior Priest:
Armor, damage and run speed increased. His self-bubble thing now also does AE healing. His second strike-to-heal is now an area-effect radial cleave thing.

Durrig the Engineer, Ikkrik the Skaven Gutter Runner:
Damage has been slightly reduced.
Wait, what? Reduced? They was ... nerfed? ...Did ... wait, ... what?

Also nerfed with damage reductions:
Felicia the Bright Wizard, Ilyana the Sorceress, Korith the Shadow Warrior.
Notice a trend there? Ranged DPS got spanked.

Kaelin the Dryad aka The Tree Chick aka Wood Boobs:
Damage and run speed increased.

Also given run speed increases: Thagison the Slayer, Volrik the Marauder, Nethys the Vampire, Zathis the Assassin.
Essentially, all the melee classes got crackhead speed while all the ranged classes were given bitch wrists.

R.I.P. Crazy Ranged Damage Facemelting. You will be missed.
