• Storm Legion Soul - DEFILER
  The Defiler is a Death-themed soul that can intercept, prevent, and heal through staggering damage. Hybrid DPS/healing soul.
  
  
• CABALIST
  The Cabalist soul has seen some major changes to help make its use more understandable and to make it easier to combine with other souls. The most significant change is the removal of the Decay mechanic. Ranged AoE DPS soul.
  
  
• DRUID
  The Druid now has a wider selection of pets as well as an increased emphasis on positioning. They not only now have tank pets and a ranged DPS pet, but Druids gain a number of benefits when attacking from behind. Melee DPS soul.
  
  
• INQUISITOR
  The Inquisitor has seen the fewest changes of all of the Cleric souls. The most obvious change is that Life and Death Concord is no longer RNG-based. Instead, your Life spells build up stacks which reduce the casting time of Bolt of Depravity until it can be cast instantly, and reduces the mana cost of Bolt of Depravity by 10% per stack. Single target ranged DPS soul.
  
  
• JUSTICAR
  The Justicar remains a healing-themed tanking soul. While they still trigger all of the same heals through damaging abilities, the healing is no longer based on the damage done by the Justicar. Tanking soul.
  
  
• PURIFIER
  Still a primary tank healer, the Purifier is now better focused on damage reduction and prevention. They now have a wide variety of buffs and absorption spells that reward planning and preparation! Healing soul with a focus on absorption.
  
  
• SENTINEL
  Still a primary tank healer, the Sentinel is now better focused on speed and responsiveness. No longer reliant on the RNG for Serendipity procs, they now have many tools at their disposal for reducing their cast times and putting out a lot of healing in a hurry. Of all the healers, they have by far the most cooldowns to respond to any situation. Healing soul.
  
  
• SHAMAN
  While the Shaman should look very familiar, it's seen a fair number of changes to give them a better flow and remove much of the RNG reliance. Long Memory is no more. In its place is Pattern of Violence which causes all weapon attacks to reduce the current cooldown of Massive Blow. Brutalize stacking is a non-factor, because it only lasts 4 seconds now, which is faster than you will be able to use Massive Blow again. Melee DPS soul.
  
  
• WARDEN
  The Warden has received a number of new spells and adjustments to fully flesh them out as the Cleric's premier AoE healing soul. They now have the easiest access to quick-recast area of effect heals, all of which hit up to 10 party or raid members. They are now also built for greater damage potential to increase their utility between raid damage spikes. AoE healing soul.

• Storm Legion Soul - HARBINGER
  Harbingers are battlemages that wield the plane of Life. Harbingers excel at dealing damage to single targets in melee range. They have high survivability and can live through damage that would kill most Mages. Melee single target DPS with high mobility.
  
  
• ARCHON
  The Archon is largely unchanged and should continue to play very similarly to how it has been. The main difference is the change to Pillaging Stone. Pillaging Stone no longer applies its buff by default - in order to gain the stat buff from Pillaging Stone you will need to spend points in Strength of Stone on Tier 2 of the Archon soul tree. Ranged support soul.
  
  
• CHLOROMANCER
  The Chloromancer is still a soul that heals through dealing damage. Previously this healing was done as a percentage of the damage dealt. With this update, the healing is done based on the base cast time of the spell dealing damage. If an effect reduces the cast time of an ability it will still trigger healing based on the original cast time of the ability and not the modified cast time. The Chloromancer will still need to deal damage in order to trigger the healing from their Veils, but that healing will not be based on the amount of damage done. Life damage will still heal for more and AoE spells continue to be less efficient in the healing they provide. Ranged healing soul with a focus on single target or AoE.
  
  
• DOMINATOR
  The Dominator soul continues to be control oriented. The popular abilities from the soul such as Transmogrify, Storm Shackle and Split Personality either remain unchanged or are improved. Adding to the collection of abilities are several new area of effect and area denial abilities. These allow the Dominator to contribute substantial area damage to a fight and help shape the battlefield to their allies’ advantage. Ranged AoE/control soul.
  
  
• ELEMENTALIST
  The Elementalist has seen some substantial updates. Pets have received an overhaul in order to help them scale better as you advance. Abilities that affect your pets now work on pets from both the Elementalist soul and the Necromancer soul. Likewise, abilities from the Necromancer will affect pets from either soul. Adjustments have also been made to the spell rotation for Elementalists to make it more interesting to play. Ranged single target DPS soul with a pet.
  
  
• NECROMANCER
  As with the Elementalist, the Necromancer has seen some substantial updates. Abilities that affect your pets now affect pets from both the Necromancer soul and the Elementalist soul, and vice versa. The other major change to the soul is that Deathly Calling is now applied by undead pets instead of the Mage. This allows the Mage to have a much more interesting set of abilities to take advantage of Deathly Calling stacks instead of just setting their pet up to hit a little harder. Ranged single target/AoE DPS soul with a pet.
  
  
• PYROMANCER
  The Pyromancer remains largely unchanged from its previous incarnation. There is a greater emphasis on applying and utilizing stacks of Combust on enemies, which helps add a strategic element to the soul that was missing previously in many instances. Ranged single target DPS soul.
  
  
• STORMCALLER
  The Stormcaller has a renewed emphasis on their ability to deal damage to multiple enemies at once. They retain their reliance on building stacks of Electrified and Hypothermia on enemies, but have received some new tools to help them do so. Ranged AoE dps soul.
  
  
• WARLOCK
  The Warlock continues its focus on utilizing damage over time abilities, and has been updated so a greater portion of their damage comes from those effects. They have gained several abilities that help them in maintaining their DoTs on enemies, transferring the DoTs between targets, and even causing their DoTs to explode to deal a large amount of damage in one shot. Ranged DoT based single target DPS soul.

• Storm Legion Soul - TACTICIAN

• MARKSMAN
  These deadly ranged fighters are highly capable of overwhelming their opponents from afar. In addition, they are able to distance themselves away from danger.
  
  
• NIGHTBLADE
  Nightblades are melee combatants who enchant their weapons with the planes of Fire and Death to destroy their opponents. They are also able to damage enemies from a short distance.
  
  
• RANGER
  With a ranged weapon and a faithful companion, Rangers are highly competent in combat. Their affinity with their companion makes them a force to be reckoned with.
  
  
• RIFTSTALKER
  Blessed by planar forces, these mobile teleporting beasts are made to bear the brunt of battle, capable of outlasting their enemies in prolonged combat. Tanking soul.
  
  
• SABOTEUR

• Storm Legion Soul - TEMPEST
  The Tempest is a ranged DPS soul that is based around the plane of Air. They are heavy-damage lightning rods, unleashing torrents of damage from long range. They wield formidable and versatile area blasts and benefit from heavy armor and illusory tricks. Ranged DPS soul.
  
  
• BEASTMASTER
  The Beastmaster is a master of communication and bringing allies together to fight as one, devastating their enemy with their unity of purpose. They fight alongside their Primal Companion, lending their aid and power to those who choose to fight with them.
  
  The Beastmaster has become a support soul, buffing themselves before battle and then using their Finisher attacks to trigger those buffs that enhance the combat effectiveness of all their allies.
  
  
• CHAMPION
  Used to fighting a losing battle against multiple foes, the Champion has become a master of fending off outnumbering forces and emerging victorious even against the most unbalanced odds. Their powerful attacks sweep through their enemies like they are harvesting wheat, leaving the bodies of their foes piled in their wake.
  
  The Champion is a master of facing multiple targets, dealing damage and defending themselves from overwhelming forces. That being said, they lose effectiveness when facing a single opponent.
  
  
• PALADIN
  Stalwart defenders of the innocent, the Paladin wields his great shield to protect himself and his allies in battle. He wields the power of life to heal his wounds and rend it's spark from his enemies, destroying those who would seek to harm those he protects.
  
  The Paladin protects themselves with their Shield, turning their opponent's attacks back on them. They have learned to wield the power of the Plane of Life to heal themselves, protect themselves, protect themselves and their allies, or deal further damage to their enemies. As would be expected by their large shield, Paladin's are better at defending against Physical attacks, but fall behind when it comes to magical protection.
  
  
• PARAGON
  Master of weapons and her own body, the Paragon wields her weapons as if they were a part of her. Facing each enemy with a dance of blood and steel that leaves her foes cast aside as she moves on to her next doomed target.
  
  The Paragon is the master of facing off against a single opponent, dealing swift and brutal damage to them. When faced by multiple enemies however they cannot keep up and quickly fall to their foes.
  
  
• REAVER
  The Reaver surrounds themselves in the energy of the Plane of Death to corrupt their foes and the very ground at their feet. They infect their enemies to weaken them and feed on the corruption to survive even the most deadly opponents.
  
  The Reaver continues to use the powers of the Plane of Death to deal damage to their foes. Their defenses may not be as strong as those of other tanks, but they do a better job at dealing damage and handling multiple opponents.
  
  
• RIFTBLADE
  She gathers the energy of the Rifts themselves around herself and uses it to enhance her weapons and herself. Wielding blades of electricity or sheathing her body in flame she carves her way through her opponents like a force of nature. When the fighting gets desperate or her target tries to evade her, she cloaks herself in the power of the Rifts to slip across great distances instantly.
  
  The Riftblade uses Elemental damage to enhance their weapon attacks in battle. When faced with difficult situations they have multiple teleports they can use to escape or chase after an opponent.
  
  
• VOID KNIGHT
  Devouring the power of his foes the Void Knight uses it to enhance himself in battle, turning himself into a juggernaut on the battlefield.
  
  The Void Knight absorbs the power of their foes to make themselves stronger in battle. This power can then be used to protect themselves, or to unleash brutal damage against their foes. because of their nature, they tend to be better at Magical protection than other tanks, but lack more in defending against Physical blows.
  
  
• WARLORD
  The Warlord is a master of the Battlefield, he uses his awareness of it and his enemies to give him great advantage. He is balanced in his attacks and does not extend himself too far, or too often. Instead waiting for the right moment to deal effectively with his foes.
  
  A hybrid that cares as much about self preservation as they do about defeating their foes, the Warlord balances defense and offense. They are not as strong at defense as a tank, nor as strong at offense as a purely attack focused Soul but they combine both to add utility to either, or allow someone who is focused in one discipline to enhance themselves in the other.
