by EverAdmin4It’s time to stoke the fires of battle! The Salamanders prepare to charge into the anvils of war with a new balance update. The changes to the Salamanders will bring Forgefather T’Kell down a notch while improving the odds of the rest of their Warlords.
At the same time, this update will perform some widespread changes to other factions, in an attempt to reduce the dominance of the most consistent Warlords of past seasons and curtail the power of some frustrating play patterns. These changes are not yet in the game, but will make their way there soon. For the time being, take a look at the full list of changes below:
