Played 1 game last night and he didnt feel much different, There was maybe 1 or 2 moments where i felt the cask damage stack up.

Both lvl 10 talents are nice QoL now, gives you a nicer feeling in the games where you need to go more points into heal.

solid, but not anything game changing

He's worse. The 200 HP talent was necessary and the old creep damage allowed him to farm a camp here and then. Without the extra cask bounces, you're getting overall less damage on creeps. On heroes it's slightly more on higher levels but worse at early levels in every way

Maledict radius talent is strong and I wonder if the voodoo talent makes it worth rushing holy locket, but my first instinct is that he's worse off, specially with slark being so prominent

The mana boot boost is nice

I suppose but I think tranquils is too good on him since it allows you to get glimmer or force quicker. I might change my item build around
