New 2H Axe Skill - Bane Strike: Strike all enemies in range for 150% weapon damage. Applies Bane to all targets, causing them to take 30% more damage from you for 5 seconds.

New Passives: Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence
Each talent tree now has 1 additional Passive Stat available

1 Strength = 2% Melee Damage, 6 Health, 5 Stamina
1 Dexterity = 1% Critical Strike Chance, 5 Stamina, 1 Stamina Regen
1 Intelligence = 2% Spell Damage, 6 Mana, .6 Mana Regen

Ehtiras Tree - Max Health, Stamina, and Mana passives have been replaced with Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence
Orias - Max Health removed, Strength and Dexterity added

If you had any points allocated to a removed passive, you talents will automatically reset.


Dev Notes: Everyone is a winner from the additional passives change, but Ehtiras in particular now has access to significantly more damage and other relevant stats than before. Axes were lacking as much flavor and effectiveness as Swords and Maces; Bane Strike should be a solid equalizer.
