=== Brand Item Changes === {{ii|Dawnbringer}} : ''Dawnbringer has always been a complicated item to balance. We don't want to overshadow the "big" items the brands build into, but we want it to be a meaningful choice as well. To accomplish this we have decided to make Dawnbringer the better passive stat item while the brand-based items have the powerful active effects. Players can now choose between the passive nature of Dawnbringer or the powerful fight-changing effects of Frostwolf Skull, Grimoire of Power, and Geometer's Bane.'' * Searing DoT removed. * Damage increased from 12 to 15. * Movespeed slow per charge increased from 6% to 8%. * Movespeed slow max charges increased from 4 to 5. * Passive: when casting any spell, 40% of its Mana Cost is dealt as bonus Damage on your next attack. {{ii|Frostwolf's Skull}} : ''Frostwolf Skull has always been an outlier in the brand tree of items. It was much more expensive, gave extraordinary stat bonuses, but had no active effect. We wanted to equalize this item with its partner end-brand items (Geometer's Bane and Grimoire of Power). These changes do that by lowering its power level from passive bonuses significantly, but also lower the price by a significant amount. On top of that, the item now has a familiar active effect that slows and deals damage to everyone around you on use.'' * {{ii|Glowstone}} removed from recipe. * Recipe cost increased 300g to 800g; total cost from 5800 to 5100g. * Strength decreased from 30 to 26. * Agility decreased from 20 to 10. * Intelligence decreased from 20 to 10. * Max Health (200) removed. * Max Mana (150) removed. * Melee: Attack Speed Debuff changed from -30% to -30. * Melee: Movespeed Slow increased from 30% to 35%. * Ranged: Attack Speed Debuff changed from -20% to -20. * New Activation: On use, releases a ring of ice that deals 100 Magic Damage to enemies within 750 radius and applies the slow (either Ranged or Melee depending on who used the item) for 4 seconds. ** Does not grant Clearvision on use like Frostfield Plate used to. ** 30 second cooldown, 100 Mana Cost {{ii|Grimoire of Power}} : ''The passive damage increase has been one of the pain points in the game since it was introduced. This new version still appeals to the same heroes that would want it before but the damage increase is much more controlled. The short duration buff also rewards great timing, creating many new highs during gameplay.'' * Searing DoT removed. * Mana Regeneration decreased from 4 to 3. * Passive 15% Damage increase removed. * Passive: when casting any spell, 35% of its Mana Cost is dealt as bonus Damage on your next attack. * New Activation: On use, increases all of your spell damage done by 20% for 6 seconds. ** 60 second cooldown, 150 Mana Cost. {{ii|Geometer's Bane}} : ''This is a change for the competitive players that will make them realistically dodge more spells with the Invulnerability, but still require a high level of skill and quick reaction times. * Invulnerability window increased from 0.1 to 0.2 seconds.'' {{ii|Lightbrand}}, {{ii|Frozen Light}}, {{ii|Searing Light}}, {{ii|Dawnbringer}}, {{ii|Grimoire of Power}} : ''These items have had a farming tool on them since their inception, but it is not an effect that belongs on this type of item. To correct this mistake, we re-designed the effect to be based around the concept of giving Lightbrand items a better use for heroes who cast a lot of spells. It still has the great Mana Regeneration, so it is still effective for the strength heroes while enhancing the caster-based carries.'' * Searing DoT removed. * When you cast a spell the item gets charged. ** When charged, your next auto-attack deals a percentage of your previous spell's mana cost as bonus damage. * {{ii|Lightbrand}}: 25% of Mana Cost as bonus Damage. * {{ii|Frozen Light}} & {{ii|Searing Light}}: 30% of Mana Cost as bonus Damage. * {{ii|Grimoire of Power|Grimoire}}: 35% of Mana Cost as bonus Damage. * {{ii|Dawnbringer}}: 40% of Mana Cost as bonus Damage.
