Wand Damage Changes

Recently announced by the Developers was the soon to be implemented nerf to Wand damage. A recent patch upgrade changed the way in which Wand damage was calculated, previously taking into consideration Strength and Absorb, this has been changed based now upon Intelligence.

Whilst a good idea initially, it appears as though Vendor Wands critting for 300, whilst your opponents Furies tap away at a minuscule 250, has lead a surge of Mages and Druids to hit the top of the Top Duelist Ladder.

We are going to be making a couple of changes to the way that wand damage is calculated. Tomorrow afternoon we will make a small reduction in wand damage on a global scale. In addition, we will tweak the Critical/Extreme formulas, to put a bit less emphasis on Intelligence.
