@DLNNDanGamer156 @MandMs05 @J0N12401179 Here are the diamond vs diamond calculations in the combat tests. It does not take natural healing into account. Yes, 4.3 seconds is a very long time. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ef7niGnWkAA76Rv.png

@NxMarko @HeroWiebe @albino_racoon @Chunkycheese12 @ThatHartleyKat @Skorlex_ I returned it to +50% for all attacks based on your previous feedback. +25% sounds more reasonable to me, but it's hard to consider all possible scenarios.

@spexcter @NxMarko @HeroWiebe @albino_racoon @Chunkycheese12 @ThatHartleyKat @Skorlex_ Yes, Smite/Bane/Impaler are now much stronger since you get the +50% crit bonus added as well. Let's keep the discussion open how much a crit really should add

@spexcter @NxMarko @HeroWiebe @albino_racoon @Chunkycheese12 @ThatHartleyKat @Skorlex_ Smite V + crit on a Zombie now deals 27.75 points of damage. With +25% crit it's still 23.175 so in practice it doesn't mean much (still one-shots a Zombie)

@spexcter @NxMarko @HeroWiebe @albino_racoon @Chunkycheese12 @ThatHartleyKat @Skorlex_ Of course... There are many variables. Lowering it to Smite IV the diff between +25%/+50% matters again

@NxMarko @spexcter @HeroWiebe @albino_racoon @Chunkycheese12 @ThatHartleyKat @Skorlex_ Game difficulty will be looked at in "phase 2". I need to discuss with the team how in-depth these changes should be... like an agreement on philosophy around difficulty

@T2813012 @NxMarko @spexcter @HeroWiebe @albino_racoon @Chunkycheese12 @ThatHartleyKat @Skorlex_ Yes, it's easier to balance second part if the first part stops changing. So right now you could say I'm balancing for PvP (while still making sure the basics for PvE feels good / are what I want)

@ChenShe24300029 I removed it again. I didn't want people to get stuck on discussing that particular feature, so better leave it out for now
