Hotfix Update - 4/21

[Celean 3]

Hello Shinobi!

 

Patch Notes:

 

Goals and Outline: The Ox weapon is a dominant choice, nerfing it/redesigning it to give the more general defensive stat of stamina instead of specifically countering physical damage enables it as a defensive option against all players, while encouraging more offensive builds to seek offensive weapons instead of defaulting to Ox. Given the removal of the protection from the weapon, many of the more reliable sources of physical damage in the current meta game are being nerfed.

 

In general, more reliable sources of damage game-wide are being nerfed slightly and less reliable sources of damage are being buffed slightly. DoT abilities nerfed slightly across the board to hit builds that combine multiple sources of dots harder than builds that just have a few dot spells.

 

General

Ox Weapon nerfed: -1500 protection, +150 stamina.

Cost of T4 boosters purchased with honor reduced significantly to encourage bgs as a somewhat viable method of grinding skill points.

 

Cost of T5 cards purchased with honor reduced significantly to encourage players to buy a full set of T5 before saving up for T7.
