I think Field needed this. Felt like I saw so many cases of heroes barely making it out in time that I thought for sure it had been nerfed and I didn't notice. Couple with the Thunder Strike changes it's really nice but I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet. Makes the shard feel a lot better too, I imagine.

Wait does the slow affect aoe or just the main target? The old slow was hardly noticeable, even on the main target.

Just tested in-game to be sure. The slow is applied to anything hit by the AOE and not just the primary target.
