General

  • The Justin has been wiped; it had a good run testing all the changes to Snipes and Dominators, but it's time to have a clean slate and push new experimental changes for feedback. Just like the first patch of the Snipes beta, remember that this is experimental. This is not a live candidate and it is not going to be patched to the live shards anytime soon. Feedback is required.
  • As part of the experimental patching cycle, all Incarnate slots, Patron pools and Accolade powers are unlocked at character creation. In addition, all recipes have had their salvage cost removed this time around; this means you can craft any enhancement without using any salvage.
  • Due to the PvP nature of these changes, this new server now has a name better suited for the combative nature of the update, in which the clash of powerful forces threaten to the the world apart: say hi to the Pineapple server. Does it belong on pizza? Only you can provide the answer.

PvP

  • Global Damage Procs like Hybrid Double Hit, Plant Manipulation's Toxins and  Bio Armor's Offensive Adaptation should now use PvP damage formula in PvP instead of the PvE damage formula.

Combat Log

  • Combat log output has been standardized. Many powers used to report the wrong damage type and effects in the combat log, this process has fixed that, in addition to making the combat log a lot easier to parse.

Rage [Experimental change]

  • Rage will now only crash if stacked. If the power is stacked, crashes will occur at every expiration until it expires completely.
  • Rage crash has been changed to 10 seconds of:
    • -999% damage irresistible
    • -10 defense irresistible
    • -20% resist irresistible
    • -20% elusiveness irresistible
  • The endurance crash has been removed, the power now instead drains 25 endurance on activation.

Tank Updates [Experimental Changes]

Damage Scale

  • Tanker: Ranged damage modifier increased from 0.5 to 0.8, Melee damage modifier increased from 0.8 to 0.95
    • Bruise has been removed in favour of a flat damage scale increase
  • Brute : Ranged and Melee damage modifiers are now equal.
  • Epic Pools: All Brute and Tanker Epic pools now use ranged damage modifiers
    • Due to the above changes, Epic Pools should see no damage change at all.

Stats

  • Tanker base endurance has been increased to 120, to reflect the fact that they kill slower, but last longer in combat.
  • Tanker damage cap to 600%, this would increase the max Tanker damage potential when grouped.


AoEs

  • Most Tanker Melee AoE powers have had their target caps increased. Most cones are now 10 target cap. Most PBAoE are now 16 target cap.
  • Most Tanker AoE powers now extend to inflict damage and other effects beyond their radius or arcs.
  • Tanker Taunts now have a 10 target cap.

 

Gauntlet

  • Is now applied via a global proc. Any single target power that takes accuracy enhancements will trigger an AoE taunt. Every AoE power that takes accuracy enhancements will taunt the enemies it hit.
  • Radius is now the same for all attacks (15ft, 5 targets max)
  • Taunt scale is now 10% higher than Brute's
  • Brute PunchVoke is now also applied via a global proc. Any power that either inflicts damage or takes accuracy enhancements will be able to punch-voke.)

 

Power Levels

  • In an attempt to help tanker progression, Tanker T1 and T2 powers have been exchanged for the following sets:
    • Battle Axe
    • Claws
    • Dark Melee
    • Energy Melee
    • Fiery Melee
    • Ice Melee
    • Katana
    • Kinetic Attack
    • Martial Arts
    • Psionic Melee
    • Radiation Melee
    • Savage Melee
    • Staff Fighting
    • Street Justice
    • Super Strength
    • War Mace
  • To improve Tanker AoE capability during level up progression, the following powers had their acquisition levels changed:
    • Battle Axe > Whirling Axe = 20, Swoop = 28
    • Martial Arts > Dragon Tail = 20, Focus Chi = 28, Crippling Axe Kick = 34
    • Stone Melee > Tremor = 20, Fault = 35
    • War Mace > Whirling Mace = 20, Clobber = 28

  • Blaster Support > Atomic Manipulation > Beta Decay: Text should no longer state it taunts enemies.
  • Blaster Support > Psoinic Manipulation > Drain Psych: -Regeneration effect should no longer be enhanceable.
