Weaver

Lethal Kiss

Reason for Change: This skill does not suit their nature as harassers, the moment they are immobile they are in trouble.

• Useable while moving

Venomous Haze

Reason for Change: The close range nature of this skill is makes the effect irrelevant to the Weaver themselves.

• Increased Range 30m
• Now requires target selection
• Effect no longer stackable

Catch Prey

Reason for Change: In the world of stat cap removal and changing diminishing returns it was impossible to keep the effectiveness of this skill consistent.

• Changed ratings to a flat 5% percent
• Removed the induction
• Usable while moving

Shadow Bite

Reason for Change: Spiders need a panic button to buy time when melee get onto them. Additionally, the percent chance on the skill made it unreliable.

• Fear has now has a 100% chance to apply.

Feast

Current: On Defeat Event: Restore 800-900 Power (Fast Skill)

Reason for Change: Long cooldown for moderately impactful skill.

• Reduce cooldown from 5m to 2m

Lie In Wait

Reason for Change: Induction lasts about 7 seconds longer than the animation.

• Reduce induction from 10s to 2.5s
• Added a -10% Induction buff to the Ambush effect

Necrosis

Current: 2m Shadow and Resist debuff on a 2min cooldown

Reason for Change: Long duration/cooldown skill that can have its effect cured reduces the value of this skill. Additionally, Shadow Defence synergizes with other Creeps, but serves little purpose for the Weaver.

• Reduce cooldown & debuff duration (30s/30s)
• Changed specific resist debuff to the Unified Resistance Rating
• Removed the induction

Trait: Strong Brood

Current: Enhances the base hatchling to a more melee/tank pet Reason for Change: With the addition of a ranged pet option, the Strong Brood needs some additional value to make it competitive. The master buff adds an additional level of synergy and interest in each pet.
