Overall Impact of 3.28 Bloodline Changes

Patch 3.28 shifts Bloodlines in several clear directions:

1. More offensive scaling (Farrul, Lycia, Nameless).
2. Stronger Ward identity (Olroth).
3. Better mechanical clarity and usability (Aul changes).
4. More defined attribute-based build paths (Breachlord).

Many of these adjustments reward focused build planning rather than general scaling. Chaos conversion, Ward mechanics, and attribute stacking appear to be stronger themes in this update.

If you're adjusting builds for 3.28, pay special attention to:

• Chaos conversion stacking
• Ward sustain and burst timing
• Minion-based attack speed scaling
• Attribute priority optimization

These Bloodline updates are not small numerical tweaks. Several of them meaningfully change how certain archetypes should be built and optimized in 3.28.
