* I tried to make the nodes fit more in line with the feel of the different constellations. While at the same time, making the distribution more friendly for a variety of builds, from focused elemental builds to mixed damage and even hybrid builds are better off. Magicka builds have slightly less single target damage with above changes but more AoE damage whereas for Stamina builds the reverse is true. However, with a mix of AoE dot's and spammables both playstyles will end up doing similar DPS. Tanks are more streamlined in their point allocation as are healers. Healers can also benefit from having excellent resource recovery. In conclusion, builds will feel more distinct and less so 'everything is the same' as it currently is.
