Community: We don’t like the pre-req for Lightwell, and it doesn’t turn into a “cancel” symbol (normal placed spell out-o-range red circle crossed out) when trying to place out of range.
Blizzard: We’ll look into it.
Community: The Shadowfiend damage is being affected by target armor, was this changed and was it a bug before not being affected or was the change intentional? Also we see some amount of intelligence in the Shadowfiend that it’s acting more like a sentient pet than a dumb ‘attack closest target forever’ pet. Is there some AI involved in the targets it chooses, if and when it breaks off attacks, and what some of that criteria may be?
Blizzard: Damage from the Shadowfiend is supposed to be 100% Shadow damage. If it's being mitigated by armor, it's a bug. Shadowfiend damage will also be scaling a little with your +Shadow damage gear, just to kick it up a notch.
As far as how the Shadowfiend handles itself, it's like a regular guardian that always goes after the target you cast it on first. If that target dies, it will go after the next available target (or follow the caster).
Community: Omg, you changed the Holy Fire graphic!
Blizzard: We recently changed it back to what it was. The removal of the giant column of holy fire was unintentional.
Community: Binding Heal threat is high.
Blizzard: Binding Heal causes threat for the heal on you and the target, so it's definitely high. The community brings up a good point – we are considering reducing the threat on this spell so that only the primary portion of the heal causes threat.
