Old numbers in brackets.
Seems to be a pass to equalize dot damage.
Spineclaw Crab and Electrified Razortooth are really going to feel the nerf to Rip. But Snarly have Surge to fall back on.

What's the change to blinding poison? seems to be the same based on what you posted.

Also, where are these patch notes posted?

[Klaital]

I much prefer water jet over surge, much higher damage and the goes first only really matters if it kills the opponent. But yeah Snarly might actually have a use again since currently Spineclaw is just so much better.

Thanks! Looks like Blinding poison got a cooldown nerf. 4 rounds vs the current 3

My usual Kovok setup got hit pretty hard. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

Creeping Ooze seems a much nicer option even with the dot damage decrease.

I feel a bit sorry for Pierre since Chop didn't do any big hits.

Now that all these initial damage plus dot abilities work around the same logic, more base damage for less dot turns, what about haunt?

Edit: btw poison fang will also reign in the DAH and perhaps open up other moves(and breeds) to more use.

Ah, I was wondering what was up with Blinding poison, but I took everything on the page and formatted it a bit better. Yes, a clear nerf to the DAH, which was needed.
