Alright, finally got on the battle mage and made a video. It's compressing now but i probably won't be able to upload it until later.
Some things about mechanics: Apparently there's a new skill for battle mages. (spell mastery) I had to reset all of blood drain into it, because blood drain sucks now. Because they changed the blow skills, not only does each blow skill become NOT passive (each one can be activated through the skill icon at any time), blood drain only activates once per combo. Each time only heals about 400ish damage for me, so it's useless now. Reaper had it's % summon rate increased, but once again, because blow is now one whole animation rather than 5 separate hits, reaper gets summoned MUCH less often. Another thing i noticed is that the reaper stays around for much less than it used to. Also, level 1 final blow does more damage than max death blow. (finally)
Unfortunately i completely forgot to test out finish attack at the time of writing this. I will test it later.
