• Slight pathing changes have been made to the casting area of the Witch section and the Intelligence node north of it has been improved.
• The Templar area has two new passives: "Esoteric Wisdom" with Cast Speed and Mana Regeneration, and "Holy Defence", which provides a significant boost to Intelligence and Strength armour.
