The Fury talent tree has been slightly re-arranged and some talents have changed positions.

Developers’ notes: We’re aiming to make pathing through the Fury tree easier and to open up more build options. We’ve streamlined the first gate to make pathing through the middle of the tree less onerous and redesigned a few talents to reduce the amount of pressure the tree put on players to specialize into Raging Blow or Bloodthirst at the exclusion of the other.

Cruelty has been updated – While Enraged, Bloodthirst and Raging Blow (was only Raging Blow), deal 5%/10% additional damage (was 10%/20%).
Improved Bloodthirst renamed to Spite and has been updated – Bloodthirst and Raging Blow (was only Bloodthirst) damage and critical strike damage increased by 2.5%/5% (was 5%/10%).
Bloodcraze has been updated – Raging Blow increases the damage of your next Bloodthirst by 5%, stacking up to 5 times.
