Scourge Warlock: (Thanks to @etelgrin for this)

- Killing Curse does 15% of weapon damage when attacking cursed target up from 5%,
- Daughter's Promises - when slay cursed target, you deal 100% of your weapon damage as necrotic damage to 3 targets nearby the slain one. Buff but still useless.

-If killing Flames is rank 4, murderous flames does not work.
- Parting Blasphemy does 50% of weapon damage when curse is suspended up from 6%
- Syphoning Curse, when you kill cursed target, the slayer of that target is healed for 100% weapon damage for 3 seconds, it used to heal just once.
- Sparkbinder gives Immolation Spirits 25% of your hit points, it didn't do that previously,
- Spiritfire hits for 75% of weapon damage everything in an AoE around the ghost, up from 50%,

- Dreadtheft - damage resistance debuff is -5% per rank of DT up from -3%, if DT is cast on perma curse such as WB or TT and it hits one target it will give only 1x DT stack not 5x like it does now. 2 targets would give two stacks, 3 targets hit that has curse on would give 3 stacks. I don't think it possible to go beyond this, unless last one is TT, read below. However, this rework is only a tooltip change, currently still behaving as it normally does.
- Tyrannical Threat is a target based spell, it doesn't change your warlock curse icon to tyrannical, it can be cast on a single target and will spread damage from that target on. Also note it is currently not spreading damage at all.

- BUG: Creeping death is currently proccing off fire damage.
- Rank 4 Killing Flames now properly reduces the cooldown by 1 second instead of removing all CD reductions given at lower ranks.
Trickster Rogue:
-Tooltip fix for lurker's Assault to better clarify what the ability does

- Sure Strike, Wicked Strike and Weapon Master Strike now have damage penalties once again after hitting more than one target (reverted to how it used to be pre-mod 6 GWF buff). This also changed on live a few weeks ago with no official mention.
- Some reports about the Sprint tooltip not mentioning the DR boost anymore (I don't recall on it ever saying anything about the DR, I do remember they buffed sprint on the patchnotes at some point, but there was no tooltip change. I might be wrong here though). This also changed on live a few weeks ago with no official mention.
- There seems to be an overall damage reduction between preview and live with the same conditions. That was not an issue before. i.e: Live -
Preview -
- Steel Grace's name changed to Steel Resolve, but it seems like GWF's did not get the change in the actual class feat while GF's did.
- Steel Blitz got the same revamp as the GF's.
- Also Steel Defense.
That seems to be it for Swordmaster so far, no feat changes. I'll be checking IV and report back.

Nerf lunging strike...really. Does almost no damage, no prone or anything special. Not heavily used in PvP to my knowledge. It's just for movement. Why nerf it?
It's the only way I can keep up with party members going 900 mph in PvE dungeons. So dumb.
I knew the ITF thing was coming. That's a PvE nerf and might still be too OP in PvP. I thought they'd drop it to 50.
The HP is garbage so temp or not means jack ****.
Really, the biggest nerf I see on there is Anvil of Doom. Rip DPS GF. That skill is useless for PvE now, Everyone will use Knee breaker or flourish instead. Extra dmg for 5 seconds after waiting for the target to get to 50% LOL. Why not just remove it entirely instead of leaving it handicapped and ****?
Chopped steel defense in half!?! Its usually CS and SWW in PvP and it's usually used to survive Orcus' massive blasts so you can recoup some HP before the next bomb comes in. That's a hard pill to swallow. But I gave up tanking with this build long ago so that's the real tanks' problem, not mine.
We've been relegated back to being thankless agro-pets and buff-bots for the DPS elite. Makes me want to login for 8 hours a day, for free, and be a servant to DPS egotistics.
ITF needed to be dialed back to more reasonable values, but the rest seems a bit too much imho...
