BALANCE CHANGES:
NOTE: For additional information and discussion on these changes, please visit the forums HERE.
-Battle Duration Adjustments-
In general we feel that battles are ending a little too quickly, especially in 1v1. With so few turns available in the average fight, strategic options become limited, and certain events in battle such as critical strikes and blocks have a bit too much impact.- Health per stat point has been increased to 1.25 from 1. Now every 4 stat points will give +5 Max Health.
- The base damage of all weapons (Primary, Gun, and Auxiliary) has been lowered by 2.
- Critical Strikes now ignore 30% of defenses, down from 45%
- Critical Strike minimum damage is now 3-5, down from 4-7. Increases at level 15 and 30.
-Energy Flow Adjustments-
With recent updates adding energy costs to cores, and reworking passive skills into useable skills, energy management has become much more important. We feel that this is an important aspect to managing the pace of a fight, but certain things are a little out of line, so we want to review the system in general to make it fit better with the updated skills.
