Passive Tree Updates [Image] -- Warrior Focus

Here's a before/after image with a slider (where you can slide between old and new maps):

So what can we deduce from the tree:

1. The +1 totem cluster with "Watchtowers" looks to be moved into the warrior area (along outer edge) instead of in the mercenary area.

2. New 2H cluster near the "Watchtowers"

3. New shield cluster near "Brute Strength"

4. New Life? cluster near "Unbreaking"

5. New Life? cluster near "Equilibrium"

Clusters Circled:

Thoughts?

They look like regen nodes, and that's what they are most likely. That said, even if they ARE life nodes it makes them basically mandatory. Life nodes should be spread across the tree.

I mean no reasonable amount of life nodes are going to make up for Giant's Blood nerf. However, there must be some reason to nerf Giant's Blood like so heavily.

For 600 strength (which is low for end-game strength builds) the nerf is a loss of 600 base health. If you have any %inc life sources, then it's more than 600 health loss.

The optimist in me thinks there must be just a few %inc life nodes on this new tree. However, there's no way they added enough to account for the loss due to Giant's Blood. You'd need like 50% increased.

I was also surprised of the lack of clusters added to the left side of the tree. There are a lot of new clusters, but they are concentrated on bottom and right sides. If you slowly move the slider back and forth on my original URL and watch the nodes closely, you'll see it's not that many on warrior side.
