Spell Changes

Halo & Divstar: Note, this change makes new Halo better than 9.1 Halo on 9+ targets and new Divine Star better than 9.1 Divine Star on 7+ targets.
Talent Changes
No notable changes.
Shadowlands Systems
- Festering Transfusion (Necrolord Conduit) damage and healing effect increased by 100%.
- You can freely swap covenant once any character on your account reaches level 80 Renown.
Other Systems
Of note, Legion Mythic+ is returning as a timewalking event.
OPINION: This means among other items, that Amalgam's Seventh Spine will be returning in some form. This trinket synergises extremely well with the Flash Concentration build which is currently meta in raid/m+. Depending on the tuning this could become a "bis" trinket that people will feel inclined to chase whenever timewalking is up. Keep an eye out for news on that one as we find out how it'll be tuned!
