--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BALANCE CHANGES
Human
- Siphon Mana drain per second has been reduced to 15/30/45 from 18/35/55.
Orc
- In order to balance Wind Walk for its recent code upgrade, we have decreased Wind Walk's backstab damage to 40/70/100 from 50/85/120.
- Unstable Concoction primary target damage increased to 600 from 550.
- Chain Lightning will now jump to sleeping targets if the primary target is also asleep.
Night Elf
- Abolish Magic no longer auto-dispels hero spells.
- Abolish Magic no longer removes positive buffs on friendlies or negative buffs on enemies when manually cast (it already did this for autocast).
- Rejuvination can now target magic immune units.
Neutrals
- Healing Spray healing per wave upgraded from 30/45/60 to 35/50/65.
- Acid Bomb armor reduction is now 3/4/5 by level, changed from 4/4/4.
- Acid Bomb now hits air units. It only splashes on units of the same target type as primary target.
- Lava Spawn levels changed to 4/5/6 from 3/4/5.
- Lava Spawns now must attack 14 times to replicate, up from 12.
FIXES
- Fixed a problem that caused peasants with build orders to be included in teleport spells.
- Fixed a problem with Burning Oil that caused the effect to not be created when buildings were attacked directly.
- Fixed a problem with War Drums and Command Aura that caused them to not affect any units.
- Fixed a problem with the Melee AI that would prevent it from cancelling damaged buildings with low hitpoints.
- Fixed a problem that caused some instant spells cast after a targeted spell to execute before the targeted spell.
- Fixed a problem with Wind Walk that would prevent the Blademaster from walking through units when certain spells wore off, or he was dropped from a transport.
- Fixed a graphical bug with Spiked Barricades that would display when upgrading the Great Hall without it being researched.
- Fixed a problem that prevented Mass Teleport and the Staff of Teleportation from targeting allied units.
- Fixed a problem that prevented the Staff of Preservation and the Staff of Sanctuary from targeting air units.
- Fixed a bug that allowed the Staff of Preservation and the Staff of Sanctuary to target uprooted buildings.
- Fixed problems with the Melee AI when it attempted to use certain instant spells.
- Fixed a problem with Morphing units re-executing commands that were interrupted by the morph timer expiring.
- Fixed an exploit that would allow players to track enemy units under the fog of war with queued move commands.
- Fixed a problem with units following enemy units and never proceeding to the next order when they moved underneath the fog.
- Fixed a problem with spells that can target a point or unit (like Shockwave) fail when the selected target dies. If the selected target runs under the fog or teleports, the spell is intended to fail.
- Fixed a problem with Envenomed Spears wearing off too early if the affected unit was also affected by Slow Poison or the Orb of Venom.
- Fixed the invisibility transition time for levels 2 and 3 of Wind Walk.
- Fixed the orb air attack speeds for the Blood Mage, Pit Lord, and Fire Lord.
- Fixed the armor upgrade values for Human, Orc, and Undead shops.
