Since there's an obvious disconnect between what blizzard puts in the patch notes and what ACTUALLY happened in the patch
we need to test the important stuff like blood boil aoe, blood oath damage mitigation, if sigil lethargy works at all, all the echoing strikes and summon tainted and bind demon changes and the totally opaque changes like "Adjusted many of the bonuses on consume"

My initial testing appears to show that blood boil has the same radius, not the listed tooltip radius. IE its actually hitting in the ~10 yard radius that was previously displayed by the skill, presumably still scaling +0.33 yards/level. On PTR they changed it to display 2/3/4 radius while not actually changing the radius, while on live patch it now displays 5/6/7 radius, but once again still has that ~10 radius. And that 10 radius is about 1 tile larger than a sorceress nova with ~8 radius, because skills like nova are checking enemy collision tiles which stick out in a 5 tile X for size 2 enemies, while blood boil is apparently just checking a dist() function, hence its 'shorter' with the same parameter

Still need to test if they actually changed blood oath, or if that's another line of nonsense changelog

Also if anyone has quantitative data regarding shard/statue/sunder drop rates, herald spawn rates, and herald/colossal ancients difficulty, that would be great to include.

Thank you for your dedicated work.

very simple test for blood boil, just saved the pics from the previous versions side by side
they did not change the radius in any of these versions. The tooltips in those pictures from top to bottom read "4 yards", "20.6 yards" and "7 yards". Actual distance presumably 10.3, 10.3 and 10.3

Generally theres a pretty crazy decline in ES damage but its still useable.

With bis gear.
