Life/mana per level
All classes begin with the same base stats, and gain the same amount per level:

50 life, +6 per level
40 mana, +4 per level
50 evasion, +3 per level (including level 1)

the base stats seem to have changed.
i tested it out and got the following stats at lvl1:

Templar: 61 life, 51 mana, 55 evasion
Shadow: 57 life, 51 mana, 55 evasion
Marauder: 65 life, 47 mana, 55 evasion
Ranger: 57 life, 47 mana, 56 evasion
Duelist: 61 life, 47 mana, 55 evasion
Witch: 57 life, 55 mana, 55 evasion

can someone confirm whether the level increase is still accurate?

Classes also start with different amounts of attributes at level 1:

Marauder: 30 STR, 14 DEX, 14 INT
Ranger: 14 STR, 30 DEX, 14 INT
Witch: 14 STR, 14 DEX, 30 INT
Duelist: 22 STR, 22 DEX, 14 INT
Templar: 22 STR, 14 DEX, 22 INT
Shadow: 14 STR, 22 DEX, 22 INT

Strength grants +0.5 life and +0.2% melee physical damage per point
Dexterity grants +2 accuracy and +0.2% evasion per point
Intelligence grants +0.5 mana and +0.2% energy shield per point

There are modes that "increase effect of buffs on you". But what are buffs?
Certainly, auras like Clarity or Discipline.
But Righteous Fire's MORE spell damage?
Keystone Pain Attunement - is it a buff also?

I assumed up until now that ignite was capped at the same effectiveness of chill, freeze, and shock, but someone pointed out to me that I might have misinterpreted.


Does ignite get capped at the effectiveness of 1/3 of max target HP like the other ailments? Anyone know?
