1.5.0.0 Balance Changes
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2016 8:25 am
Post here with any comments/etc/etc.
To quickly recap the bigger changes that someone might claim is a bug:
Stat reallocation point: Everyone gets one FREE stat re-allocation point. This means you will not lose XP when you stat realloacte one time. Lasts a month. Spell gold is credited as well now.
Rangers: Lost their current pet, gained a empty rare soul gem that can capture any NPC at 100% rate when the NPC is 50% hp or lower. You still require being higher level then the NPC. You got credited back your pet gear too. Check telegrams for the gold and the rare soul gem. Pet damage was far too op, it had to be nerfed a good deal, specially when the pet has more then the 2 attack average. (For example a 2 attack NPC that deals 150 damage might turn into 80-90 damage, and a 3 attack pet would become 60-80 damage. It's still BETTER to go with the 3 attack NPC, but it's not insanely powerful now.). Higher DPS NPCs now have only 2 taunt level as well. (Not so good for PVE, better for PVP).
There is also new gear to play with. You can make your pet tanky, dpsy, good against magic, etc. But not everything all at once. This gives some customization to the pet itself.
Clerics: Lost heavy armor in favor for light armor. If you are level 8 or higher you will get a blue 'rare' limited edition light armor in your telegram box. You also have a new spell, called AEGIS, self-cast only spell. It grants you AC and also damage resistance to your divinity strength (I.E. 20int might gain 5% divinity resistance. So a night character would gain an extra 5% divinity resistance on your character.) Paladins also got the spell. Their armor is typically between medium and heavy now (more on the medium side) at level 25 with aegis casted.
For the rest read the announcement posts: viewtopic.php?f=4&p=8201#p8201 and also for a summary breakdown check out the full list: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=93&p=652#p652
I apologize for any issues this has caused but overall I feel it was needed. There may be adjustments to the above as we go along. Thanks!
NOTE: THE RACE AND CLASS PAGE IS NOT UPDATED YET ON THE BOARDS. (If it is on the wiki, not there either I assume, as players handle that.).. It will be within a day or two.
