Today we are continuing to work on changes based on player feedback and this is a list of the updates that we have finished internally. We will be deploying the following changes over the next few days.

This is just a list of the changes that have been made so far. These are not the only changes we are investigating and they do not represent a full list of what players are reporting to us.

Player Balance Changes

Now that we have a lot of the nerfs out of the way, we can concentrate on buffing things that are not performing well.

Sorceress Specific Changes

• Arc now does a lightning explosion when it hits a shocked enemy but can no longer shock. It does not consume the shock.

Our focus this time is on Act 3 areas since this act has a somewhat overall longer completion time.

Many people are reporting that gameplay is feeling too slow. Sometimes this comes in the form of people saying that monster life is too high, or player damage is too low, or areas are taking too long. In this post we will talk about some of the things we have already done, and more of the changes we are planning on making.

Huntress Specific Concerns

One of the major concerns that we have seen for the Huntress is that a lot of the power of the class is locked behind the Parry mechanic, and some players do not wish to Parry. Getting Frenzy charges without Parry is an option available to the class later on, but there are no other early game options that don't involve Parrying.

We want to give early game players an option to get Frenzy charges without Parry, but we have to be very careful not to make this too easy and remove t... Read more
