Season 10 PTR Blog Season 10 Overview
Amongst the changes are also nerfs to Blood Seeker's Aspect for Blood Lance Necromancers, who will be looking forward to some quality of life on Cadaverous Aspect and Golem buffs instead. Spiritborn is also seeing some buffs, including to Aspect of Bristling Vengeance and Rebounding Aspect.
Not everyone is a winner however, with Druid being one of the few classes seeing multiple nerfs across the board, notably to Balanced Aspect and Stormclaw's Aspect. Rogues are also a bit absent from the patch notes this time around, seeing one buff to Bladedancer's Aspect, but not receiving any changes otherwise, making it quite under-represented compared to other Classes.
