Forgot to mention the relevant changes: Gained relocate - blood ball at base. Loss fear 3 as upgrade, gained fascinate. Now, to mention something more constructive: range 1-3 and fascinate is a combo more handy than you give credit, specially in a theme where some of the melee champions are pretty good (bloodtracker, that blood worm), so I will give him a try. Another source of blood magic is more than welcome (which was something missing on the blood banshee), and relocate blood ball can help to pull some interesting tricks. However, still seems a bit fragile, so would reserve a final judgement until I can play without lag and some other interruptions.
Relocate bloodball on him was a good call. As for the Blood banshee I really hope she lose the Blood part and becomes a full spirit
why? she got first the Relocate bloodball and she not must to be a Vampyre any more what make her to a Vampyre now 1 upgrade?
I never liked the fact taht the Banshee was made into a Vampire. Banshees has 0! lore with vampires. They are a spirit of death and darkness and trying to force those 2 themes together was imo a horrible idea. Alpha agreed (on the last forum) and promised to look into changing it but was fired before he got around to it.
So, now we have 2 champs with stealth-ethereal-fascinate. Should be fun with echoes or deaf aura/poison cloud/lava/firewall (double fascinate makes enemies move backnforth, tripple fascinate would be enough to kill anything).
Sahdestriker and ethereal soldier got nerfs, minimal, but nerfs. Umbral wulf got a buff , will open the changelogs later today.
