Greetings testers!

We’ll be updating the 12.0.1 Midnight beta tomorrow with the following changes:

CLASSES

PALADIN
- Holy
  - Developers’ notes: We are reverting our planned changes to reintroduce Crusader Strike and instead making a few adjustments to Holy Paladin’s mana economy and underperforming spells. Our intent is that this loosening of mana restrictions and incentivization of additional spell uses can accomplish a similar goal from our previous changes; namely add additional gameplay variety, but without the same level of disruption to a gameplay flow that players are currently enjoying. Thank you for your continued feedback!
  - Flash of Light healing increased by 35%.
  - Holy Shock healing increased by 15%.
  - Holy Shock mana cost reduced by 20%.
  - Shield of the Righteous now grants 140% more mana.
  - Shield of the Righteous damage increased by 100%.
  - Shining Righteousness damage increased by 100%.
