I approve

I wonder what treasury bugs were fixed...

Excellent..

Interesting, I don't disagree with the combat changes but am a bit confused. Why have a poll for mini heal and then implement the 2nd least popular option which only had 14% of the votes.

Hard to comment on the damage/heal changes without testing them out a bit.

The evil regions are not going to do much as PvP is already spread too thin.

After examining the current complaints and solutions, it was felt that a very small healing reduction for the spell would be something we could attempt. Testing will occur until Monday, at which time we will make our final decision and update the patch notes accordingly.

The change to Heal is very small, let me reiterate. Typically, what you'll see is a 1 damage healed reduction.
