"Holy Light's passive now deals Fire Damage every second"

Is the base dmg of Dawnfire gloves being nerfed by more than -60%? Currently it is .

Comment by kingoomieiii

If you're wondering why the Paladin changes look like buffs, it's because they're fixing the Castle legendary Paragon node. It was balanced around Season 10's armor values, which were inflated massively in Season 11's changes. The node is worth ~1,400%(x) damage rather than the ~100%(x) this new version will be.

Comment by Rahru

I wish they never released Castle the way they did. But it was obviously intentional, not a 'whoopsie we used the old armor values'. And I wish they would stop doing that. Fully expecting the next class to come with something like "Gain 500%(x) damage for each socketed gem".
