I'd seen the exact crunch for defiling in scattered previews all over teh webz, and I assume it's unchanged? Basically increase damage but deal damage to yr allies?
you can reroll attack or damage roll, but have to take new result. all allys within 20 squares take necrotic damage that ignores immunities and cannot be reduced in anyway
While it is sick, mechanically, in terms of how that compares to its actual fluff ("And plant life DIE while small animals cry baby tears as you cast lightning bolt!") the crunch is kind of lame, honestly, and I say that as someone who never played 2E.
Magic still kills plant life whenever a spell is cast. The energy has to come from somewhere and plant life is easy to drain I guess.
