Updates

Talents

• Level 20
  • (New) Fists of Legend [Trait]
    • Gain 50% of the benefit from both level 1 talents that were not chosen.

Developer Comment: Kharazim has Transcended past the desire for Insight… because he has Iron Fists. Or something like that.

Bug Fixes

• Insight grants its full cooldown reduction to Radiant Dash.

Updates

Base

• Breath of Heaven [W]
  • Healing increased from 276 to 285.

Developer Comment: Kharazim's healing output is a little lower than other Healers, and we believe it could use a small increase. We don't expect this to change too much about how he plays, but it should better reward Kharazim players and teams who are good about grouping around him to receive Breath of Heaven.

Updates

Talents

• Level 20
  • Peaceful Repose [R1]
    • Additional functionality: Increase the healing of Divine Palm by 75%.

Developer Comment: We felt that Peaceful Repose could add something to Kharazim players who are good at proccing Divine Palm, so we're greatly increasing its Healing when he does get a successful proc.

Updates

Base

• Basic Attack damage increased from 60 to 64.

Talents

• Level 1
  • Transcendence [Trait]
    • Movement Speed bonus duration increased from 2 to 2.5 seconds.

Developer Comment: Play Kharazim! Also, Air Ally does cool things now. Play that too.

Updates

Talents

• Level 7
  • Heavenly Zeal [W]
    • Increased Breath of Heaven Healing duration increased from 3 to 3.5 seconds.

Developer Comment: To help smooth out the interaction between Heavenly Zeal and Echo of Heaven, we're slightly increasing the bonus Healing duration so that they can more reliably benefit from one another.

Updates

Base

  • Mana cost reduced from 30 to 25
• Deadly Reach [E]
  • Mana cost reduced from 50 to 45

• Level 16
  • Dash of Light (Q + W)
    • Increased bonus healing from 50% to 75% for dashing to an ally

Developer Comment: These changes are designed to increase the power of Insight and Transcendence by shifting more of Kharazim's healing power pie into them. We want to encourage the same active gameplay that Iron Fist Kharazim's have, but increasing healing and utility instead of damage when the other Talents are chosen.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that could cause Kharazim to dash to unexpected locations after casting Radiant Dash.

Bug Fixes

• Seven-Sided Strike will no longer target D.Va's Mech during Self-Destruct.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that Stitches's Vile Gas to deal damage to Kharazim while casting Seven-Sided Strike.

Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes

• Air Ally will now properly reveal Creep Tumors and Toxic Nests.

Bug Fixes

• Becoming trapped by Chromie's Time Trap while using Radiant Dash with the Way of the Hundred Fists Talent will no longer prevent Kharazim from issuing Basic Attacks until Radiant Dash is cast a second time.

Updates

Abilities

• Breath of Heaven (W)
  • Increased the Movement Speed bonus from 10 to 15%

Talents

• Level 1
  • Iron Fists (Trait)
    • Damage bonus reduced from 125 to 110%
• Level 4
  • Earth Ally (Active)
    • Cooldown increased from 30 to 45 seconds
• Level 7
  • Heavenly Zeal (W)
    • Movement Speed bonus increased from 25 to 30%

Developer Comment: We're glad to see that Iron Fists Kharazim is a very viable melee Assassin/Support hybrid! We think that we can reduce the damage slightly on it, since Kharazim was able to throughput strong damage and healing with the Talent. While the damage potential of that build is stronger than we want, overall Kharazim is close to balanced, so we've provided a small Movement Speed increase to Breath of Heaven to offset the loss.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused Kharazim's final hit during Way of the Hundred Fists to deal more damage than intended.

Updates

Abilities

• Breath of Heaven (W)
  • Healing increased from 280 to 290

Developer Comment: Kharazim's Talents have been updated to create more compelling choices at every tier. To do this, we've made sure that Iron Fists / Bruiser style Kharazim is viable by increasing its damage uptime, removed a lot of the generic Talents and replaced them with Kharazim specific options like Mystic Allies, and re-arranged a lot of the tree so that you don't have to sacrifice as much healing to pick mobility, utility or damage.

• (!) indicates a Questing Talent.
• Italic text indicates a NEW Talent.
• Bold text indicates a MOVED Talent.

Bug Fixes

• Will no longer automatically resume attacking enemies after using Radiant Dash to dive to an ally. This fix also applies to Illidan's Friend or Foe and Kerrigan's Adaptation Talents.

Updates

Talents

• Level 13
  • Sixth Sense (Passive)
    • Block amount increased from 50 to 75% after being stunned or rooted.

Updates

Talents

• Level 13
  • Relentless (Passive)
    • Removed
  • New Talent: Sixth Sense (Passive)
    • Stuns and Roots against Kharazim grant 50% damage reduction from Basic Attacks for 4 seconds.

Developer Comment: See for Relentless changes.

Updates

Talents

• Level 1
  • Insight (Trait)
    • New Functionality:
      • Quest: Every 3rd Basic Attack restores 14 Mana. After this effect triggers 100 times, every 3rd attack will also reduce the cooldown of all Basic Abilities by 1 second

Developer Comment: Insight was seeing very little play, mainly because it wasn't distinct enough. In order to both buff it and make it different, we're making it a Quest Talent/Trait. We felt the cooldown reduction fits well with the increased Mana, as Insight is about using all your Abilities (both offensive and defensive) more frequently.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a rare issue in which movement commands could persist after casting Radiant Dash.

Updates

• Breath of Heaven (W)
  • Heal amount increased from 250 (+4% per level) to 280 (+4% per level)
  • Echo of Heaven (Talent)
    • Second wave Heal amount decreased from 50% to 35%

Developer Comment: Kharazim's Echo of Heaven Talent is contributing too much to his overall Healing. We've decided to nerf the amount of Healing it offers. To compensate, we're buffing his base kit. His Healing output with the Talent should be roughly the same, but now players should have more flexibility to pick other Talents on its tier.

Updates

• Insight (Trait)
  • Mana regeneration granted on every third hit increased from 12 (+0.21 per level) to 14 (+0.36 per level)
• Iron Fists (Trait)
  • Damage bonus granted on every third hit increased from 100% to 125%

Developer Comment: Most Kharazim players pick Transcendence at level 1, and this is often the most powerful option regardless of the situation. We tuned up the other two options here to help provide Kharazim players with different options.

Bug Fixes

• The visual effects for Butcher's Brand will no longer persist on a target that is protected from death by Kharazim's Divine Palm.

Bug Fixes

• Kharazim's Overtake Talent will now properly last for its full duration.
