Notes: Druid - Should be a decent include in Barb and Pally decks. Bastion - Lost Subsume. Minor nerf as it should also lower his cost. Faultbreaker - Pretty much just fixed that Planarbound prevented him from using Seismic Leap. Silverclans - Not sure what changed other than them gaining a class. Maybe an ability cost change? Northern Cross Purger - Attack: Physical changed to Attack: Gun - Unless you play with sound on you wont notice a difference.
He really didn't need this tap since he was already a pretty good support unit, now its even more efficient.
Bastion without subsume, will be intresting to see if he is out of the play now. subsume made him survive alot of ability attacks, now he is a flying version of zedin. Think its good though, he was our top physical melee champ atleast a small step ahead of any other melee champ ive tested in IS. Druids where real good in Barb decks, (not sure why i do try to run a pure barbarian deck,) with so much heals, detection, flight ability. And now a bit weaker+cheaper. Think we have a few champs that has class:none that could use a class also
hmm thought bastion would still be good, but he is meh now, would have much rather seen escalating rage gone then subsume so much ability-damage out there with ignore def so not sure what to use as melee powerhouse now...
yeah he aint useless, but it seems that alot of people dont know they can use pummel etc on him to nuke him. had atleast 2 that did use basic attacks today when i played ranked, so asked if they did know if he was nerfed. and they didnt but the cost for subsume must have been very wrong, such powerful ability should have cost alot more then his nora cost did go down, or he had a very good price for it. tested a bit with commander nisk and move his shield to bastion, but bastion wants other gear also... did go back to use aid defense, mostly for increasing his survivability compaired to use cleave.
