Necropolis cost reduced to 300 gold, down from 350 gold. Acolytes now have 220 health, up from 180. Web lasts 12 seconds, down from 20 seconds, and has a cooldown of 12 seconds, down from 20 seconds. Curse now lasts 2 minutes, up from 1 minute. Curse now causes a 33% chance to miss, up from 25%. Thunderclap debuff is 50% at all levels, and lasts 5/3 at all levels. Slow duration vs heroes reduced to 10 seconds from 20 seconds. Inner Fire cost increased to 35, from 25. Flares now cost 75/25 to research, down from 100/50. For instance, the Slaughterhouse builds 20 seconds faster now, while the Arcane Sanctum build time was only reduced 10 seconds. This reduction ranged from 20 seconds for especially underused structures, to 10 seconds for less underused structures. Most advanced technology structures had their build times reduced. 
Hero damage was added so that heroes no longer strongly counter ranged units such as Archers and Crypt Fiends. It deals 100% damage to everything except fortified armor, to which it deals 50% damage.
Heroes now have an aptly named hero damage type. 
Casters, including Dryads, have had their mana regeneration rates boosted by 30%. Many autocast buffs and debuff costs reduced. They no longer gain damage as they go up in level, and gain less hitpoints as they go up in level (but start with more hitpoints when initially built). They had their damage adjusted, typically downwards. They also have a new damage type, magic, which does reduced damage to fortified and hero armor, but does bonus damage against medium armor. 
They have a new armor type, unarmored, which takes bonus damage from siege and piercing attacks. The specific changes to the units in question are: In general, units with piercing damage rip up spellcasters, while basic melee units, such as Ghouls or Footmen, are weak against spellcasters. Most spellcasters ( Sorceress, Priest, Shaman, Witch Doctor, Necromancer, Banshee, Druid of the Talon) have been re-balanced.
