Breath Duration Underwater

Tigole posted the following:

We are experimenting with increased breath duration underwater. Currently, in the beta, most players can stay under for three times as long. Forsaken can stay under 10 times as long as an old, normal character (used to be 4).

    I'm not sure, Chaos Bolt is the ultimate Anti Pally Bomb for Warlocks. No longer will Pallys be assured safe hearth out.

    I dunno, Affliction will still be able to almost kill a person with just a few curses, and Demonology needed something to toughen them up a bit.
