Sounds of abilities changed on pts

Hi, i played 4 hours on the pts and i noticed the sound of impulse fire ring on the template torugs pact flame staff sounds like a ice staff now

Anyone else notice this? I like the normal shotgunlike sound a lot

Also purge is really much harder to hear now after the changes to this

Maybe other abilities got changed sounds as well, but i feel we should have a say in this. Sound matters a lot

    @ZOS_GinaBruno is it just my client or did you change the sound of fire impulse / fire ring?

    I tested also with the frost and shock staff and they both sounded normal and better than the new strange sound of the flame staff

    I did not read anything about this in the patchnotes

    Hi Bill, i hope you will keep the old fire impulse sound in the game

    As it stands with all the buffs to nightblades and stamina, i will have to level a stamina nightblade fast, i made one on the pts and am convinced now

    But i would still like to play my magica dk as well, and impulse is a big thing for me. Please keep the sound as it currently is on live, thank you

    I also noticed that when i use engulfing flames, the character screams before he breathes fire. Normally on live it makes just the fire breaching sound.

    It is confusing to add unnecessary screams because in dungeons that normally means i take damage. And adding screams clutters up the sounds of a 4 person fight unnecessarely

    I am surprised nobody else seems to notice or care about these changes :(

    Hey man thanks for reporting this!! This was a bug, we were able to track it down pretty quickly and removed the incorrect sound from this. It was actually playing the original sound PLUS the incorrect one. Thanks for catching and reporting!! <audio team high five>
