Ronin
While we enjoyed the power fantasy of Ronin, his damage potential far outclassed his comrades by a staggering amount. We reduced the damage bonuses from many of his damage oriented skills to bring him more in line with Murmur and Nomad.
His early tree tankiness was also a bit too much, and could propel a Ronin much further into a run than anticipated. The minor adjustments to Energy Efficient and Energizing Blade will make aggressive players approach situations more tactfully while not robbing him of his tank potential.
- Base stats adjusted to 10 Armor and 20 Health
- Reduced Energy Efficient damage reduction from 75% from 50%
- Reduced Energizing Blade melee damage bonus from 25% to 15%
- Reduced In Your Face close damage from 10/20/30% to 3/6/9%
- Reduced Get In There close damage bonus from 10/15/25% to 2/4/7%
- Reduced Energizing kills “Overshield” bonus from 5 per close kill from 3
Nomad
- Base stats adjusted to 10 Armor and 10 Health
- Devastate now stuns armored enemies if triggered
Murmur
Diving in and out of combat and circling around enemies is a fun gameplay loop, but a bit too tricky to pull off for the reward. Fade Away now makes building for flanking much easier while the new Explosive Exit stun gives her a unique CC angle and sets up her enemies devastating backstabs!
Quick Recovery in the late tree was a little bit too nutty, allowing players to essentially become immortal. Players can now only stave off the inevitable before having to retreat and catch their breath for a second pass, playing into her more rogue-ish nature.
- Base stats decreased to 10 Armor and 15 Health
- Changed “Backstab” to “Flank” to better indicate what the player has to do to get the bonus.
- While using Fade Away, all enemies are counted as flanked
- Reduced Explosive Exit damage
- Explosive Exit now stuns enemies for 5 seconds
- Reduced Quick Recovery armor regen amount from 25/35/50% to 10/20/30%
