Balance of Power Dec 2023
Bow buffs and Heavy armour nerfs incoming
In the latest episode of Balance of Power, Dave talks about the upcoming tweaks that they hope will guide players to greater balance.
Winners
- PVE bow and musket – nice to see a separation of PVE and PVP balance
- Koya’s Knee Guards – increasing the ranged resistance
- Void Gauntlet – increased damage for heavy and light Void Blade attacks
Losers
- Pestilence
- Flamethrower speed
- Empowering fireball – slight nerf
- Heavy armour – increasing stamina cost of dodges
That last one has a lot of people complaining – nerfing heavy to encourage people to use medium just seems …. weird. I wish they’d just give us the medium dodge back, maybe at 45 so there’s still a delay.
