Send enemies flying back to where they came from in today's patch!
If you are using the shotgun and you have the killing blow, depending upon how close you are standing to the enemy, you will send them flying! We want weapons to feel way more fun than they do now and this is another step closer to achieving that
We also noticed that the heal mage boss wasn't really a threat other than his health which was not what we wanted to achieve, so we have redesigned him so that he now heals every 15 seconds but his health has been lowered considerably (he no longer heals upon death unless he dies on the 15th second).
