• Healing Hands: 25s RT -> 15s RT
• Healing Ribbon: Change functionality to: Target ally and up to two other allies near your target are healed for 30...102 Health. (this works like Chain Lightning btw wording wise, so if you target yourself, you'd get healed, then 1 ally closest to you, then 1 ally closest to that ally)

• Orison: 20...60 -> 40...90

Necromancer:

• Too much work needed, needs an overhaul of the entire class. Remove the timer on Soul Reaping, make all hexes more active...

• Diversion: 10...47 disable -> 5...25 disable.

Elementalist:

• None.

Assassin:

• No longer need to follow attack chains. All attacks changed to be lower + damage, and from now on their secondary effects only happen if you follow the chain, but attacks work outside the chain.

ie: Exhausting Assault: Currently: Dual Attack. Must follow a Lead Attack. Target foe's action is interrupted. If that action was casting a spell, target foe suffers from exhaustion.

After: Dual Attack. Target foe's action is interrupted. If that action was casting a spell and if this attack followed a Lead Attack, target foe suffers from exhaustion. Ritualist:

• Nerfs to Splinter Weapon. All Ritualist rituals, have 1 Health, and no longer have levels. All Binding Ritual skills have been changed to reflect this with a much lower energy/AT/RT.

Paragon:

• Nerfs to all shouts, especially Song of Restoration and Defensive Anthem. Lower their effect, as they are still too potent.

Dervish:

• Nerf Melandru's, buff all other elites a tad.
