Patch Notes 9/7/2015

Focus On: The Force Psyker!

MIND BULLETS! The Force Psyker ability trees have been modified and completed based on feedback and suggestions. Thanks everyone who has been submitting feedback and bug reports - as always, please let us know what you think!

Force Psyker Class Changes

  • Force Energy now regenerates each turn at a rate of 25% of your current energy. The more you have, the faster it will regenerate. If the Force Psyker continually uses their strongest abilities, they will deal a lot of damage but quickly become Mentally Exhausted. Alternating powerful attacks with default / weaker attacks allows sustained damage. We’ll continue to refine Force Energy use and regen as we move into balancing abilities!
  • Removed weapon synergies for Berserker abilities. Abilities that had different effects based on equipped weapon type now have those effects baked into the ability.
  • Barrier display reworked and now shows health remaining for each barrier in play.

Guardian

  • Aegis Strike - no longer deals increased Threat or consumes Force Energy with each bounce. Damage now increases with each bounce, damage overall increased.
  • Mirror Prism - reduced FE cost and increased duration of damage effect and prism health.
  • Spirit Armor - now provides increased Threat and damage dealing.
  • Removed Absolution.
  • NEW ABILITY : Condemn - reduce damage an enemy deals by a large amount.
  • NEW ABILITY : Inner Peace - heal and regen Force Energy when your Force Energy is low.
  • NEW ABILITY : Purifying Prism - absorb negative status effects off allies.

Sentinel

  • Warding Blow - damage boosted and Barrier health from damage reduced to compensate.
  • Empathic Strike - gains more damage from Barrier absorbed damage.
  • Warden’s Wrath - no longer consumes Barriers to deal damage but gains damage each time a Barrier is created.
  • Spirit Link - redesigned to grant Barriers to unprotected allies and reinforce existing Barriers when one is damaged.
  • NEW ABILITY : Inner Balance - Deal increased damage when Force Energy is high, take less damage when Force Energy is low. Emergency Barrier creation for weak allies.
  • NEW ABILITY : Barrier Prison : Encase an enemy in a Barrier to prevent them from acting.
  • NEW ABILITY : Manifest Destiny - Instantly create a Barrier on each ally. Passively increases the health of all Barriers you create.

Berserker

  • Force Hammer - reduced Force Energy to use and now obliterates shields on critical hits.

  • NEW ABILITY : Inner Turmoil - gain damage and Force Energy regen when low.
