Lightning Rod has restrictions on where or how it can drop.
Lightning Rod now deals 26-94% of Attack Damage at Gem levels 1-20 (previously 20-72%). Now has a Maximum Arrow duration of 20 seconds (previously 12).
Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.
The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels.
Lightning Rod Arrow now disappears after being Chained to 6 times at all Gem levels (previously 8-14 times at Gem levels 1-20). Arrows now take 1 second to charge up before releasing a Lightning Burst when chained to. Lightning Arrows that chain to Lightning Rod arrows cause the pulse to happen instantly instead of needing to charge up.
