(78) * Firewalk time now scales with distance

Server is down, so let's discuss!

Nanoseer lost Shatter as a viable option but gained some serious buffs to Mind route. Soothe change is pretty huge, providing even better kiting potential. Affinity is amazing. Confound having smart affliction is possibly too strong.

Engineer shards aren't as effective. If your opponent just ate shards they were going to have a bad day, but I haven't tested the new numbers. Perhaps Internal route will be a more viable option depending on how Burrowbot ticks perform? Other than that some QoL stuff.

Fury gets a much needed change to Firewalk. Warmth is no longer a direct counter to Sha-- oh wait, nevermind. Some extra motivation to actually use the affliction extenders, might be worth a look for you min/maxers.

Affinity change is quite positive and it will even make PvE more streamlined for nanoseer.

Right now analyze will not provide muscular and internal data to count needed Shatter stacks easily and it became harder to pull. Perhaps when the opponent is already failing due to feedback a quick Shatter could come but at that point we have other options. Could be still used as a quick group instakill though it might not outshine the alternatives. 

Confound with smart afflicting will definitely allow us to put more affliction pressure while mindswap can swap them wildly.

Can't wait for forcefeed nerfs.

To be fair to the person who classleaded Shatter, their plan suggested that the Frozen aff deal 200 instead of 100 internal, which might give the idea merit. But with no reasonable way to deal muscular (the limbdrain classlead was rejected...), the Void path for Nano will pretty much be about trying to damage out your opponent, and is probably anyway limited to the Fury matchup now that Mind path got some serious buffs.
