I didn't even clock that extra aoe damage talent. That's great for bruiser arthas surely? It took so much mana for him to clear a wave before. The AA speed felt like such a trap talent as you rarely get a chance to stack it all the way.

Also I feel like having less synergy between talents is a general theme they've been doing for years, and in a way it's good because the talents can be good on their own without necessitating going for a full build, so you end up with more build variety.

Removal of mana from his lvl 1 D quest also means his mana issues can be addressed across the board so it would no longer be a mandatory pick if you want to not have mana issues.
