Mechanic Changes
Misiles Arcanos
is being redesigned to become a proc-based spell. Whenever the Mage does damage with any spell, there is a chance for Arcane Missiles to become available, similar to how the Warrior’s
Abrumar
works. The damage and Mana cost of this spell will be reworked to make it very desirable to use when available. This change should make gameplay more dynamic for the Mage, particularly at low levels.
Mages will be unable to conjure food and water until level 38, with
Crear refrigerio
you will be able to summon food that restores both health and mana.

(85)
Holy
: Heals nearby wounded targets, preferring the ones with lowest health.
Protection
: Reduces damage taken.
Retribution
: Attacks nearby enemies (like
Invocar gárgola
).
Mechanic Changes
A pseudo-resource mechanic is being added -
Holy Power
. Certain spells (Crusader Strike, Hammer of the Righteous, and Holy Shock) build a charge of Holy Power with each application, stacking up to 3 times. This Holy Power can then be used for a number of spells, like
Palabra de gloria
or
Inquisición
.
Holy paladins are getting much bigger arsenal of spells to work with. Other than the standard for every healer quick-but-expensive, normal, and slow-but-powerful heals, paladins will have an instant heal, a cone heal, and an AoE heal.
Protection paladins are having their rotation tweaked, so it is more fun and doesn't look like it can be macro'd.
Retribution paladins, similarly to Protection, are having their rotation worked on. And are getting a reliable interrupt!

Heroic Strike will be "grayed out" if the Warrior has less than 10 rage; once at 10, it will consume up to 30, converting it into damage. To make sure it never eats all of the rage, Heroic Strike will never leave the Warrior with less than 10 (so if you have 11 rage, it will consume only 1; if you have 40 or more, it will use the full 30).
