[h3]Factions now have more unique abilities to set them apart. [/h3] [b]Blackrock [/b] [list] [*] Archers now got Weak target ability [*] Scoundrels now have Backstabbing fury trait and Pray the weak target ability [/list] [i]With the Archers pointing out a weak target, the Blackrock Scoundrels will try to leap behind the marked target and furiously backstab the marked target. [/i] [b]Havengore [/b] [list] [*] Archers now have Rain of Arrows [/list] [i]A devastating rain of arrows in an AOE will harm anyone except Havengore shieldmen who is immune[/i] [b]Darkmoon[/b] [list] [*] Seers now have Spirit link [*] Darkmoon Followers have the growth trait [/list] [i]By imbue an evil spirit into a Darkmoon follower, it gains significant attack speed, HP regeneration, and greater damage over time.
