Official: Bane/Smite Infusion Changes

[Fallen]

For the time being, Bane/Smite's (302) infusions are no more. Clerics will continue to gain the random, but trainable, benefit of increased damage, but it will no longer cost additional mana and the messaging has been altered to fit more appriopriately. Infusions will return at a later time, after a comprehensive review to make them more worthwhile.

Definetly like this temporary change.

Me too! Hunting is a lot less mana intensive for me now. I got to the point where I was almost swearing every time I infused mana hah. This is a much better change, even if it's temporary. Hopefully the next change will make infusions more of a blessing than a curse.
