[B] It's over 9000, and it's weird.

Beta Patch 9014. I'm only putting the "official" MMO-Champion patch changes here for now. I will make a new post (possibly titled something equally not-witty) once I have put these changes into effect on my 80 Premade and on Beta-Rilgon.

Hold onto your hats, folks, these changes look like they came out of the Twilight Zone.

Skills
Beast Mastery
*Aspect of the Wild (Rank 4) now increases Nature resistance by 130. (Up from 70)
*Aspect of the Viper changed to : The hunter takes on the aspect of the viper, causing ranged attacks to regenerate mana but reducing your total damage done by 50%. Mana gained is based on the speed of your ranged weapon.
*Aspect of the Beast has been changed and re-added to the game. The hunter takes on the aspects of a beast, becoming untrackable and increasing melee attack power of the hunter and the hunter's pet by 10%. Only one Aspect can be active at a time.

Marksmanship
Aimed shot mana cost reduced from 11% of base mana to 8%. Casting time changed from 2.5 sec to instant. Cooldown increased from 6 seconds to 10 seconds. Damage reduced to about 25% of the old value. (Lowered from 1570 to 408 for Rank 9)
*Kill Shot damage now deals 200% weapon damage (down from 205%). Additional damage nerfed as well. (Down from [ 40% of RAP + 1200 ] to [ 40% of RAP + 650 ] for rank 3)
*Multi-Shot mana cost has been increased from 8% of base mana to 9%.
*New Spell - Fires a Black Arrow at the target, slowing the target's movement speed by 70%. While the movement speed effect holds, the damage done by your ranged shots are increased by 15% on the target. Lasts for 6 sec. (6% of base mana, 5-35 yd range, Instant cast, 12 sec cooldown)
