This will (hopefully) be a general discussion area for balance changes. The weekly changes will still have their own threads for discussion on those specific changes.

[Luke Barrett]

24 and 8 respectively
This one is more of a bug: on my alchemist it's 325% (maybe because of the upgrade). It's 200% on Isabella though (no upgrade).


I'm your favorite. I just know it.

 

Fixed. Thanks

 

It should be 200% - I'll have to dig in to what may be increasing it by 125%

[Luke Barrett]

I'd love to see a buff to guard. Hope you're working on that. Maybe instead of 25% hp, it could be 50%? Or perhaps give guard a buff to have a higher defense score, maybe an extra 25% of your defense? Or if you can't do that, buff guard generation a tad bit.

I've got a two-pronged solution for fixing guard. Soon™

[Luke Barrett]

The reward is not taking damage. The damage dealt mostly just makes up for the interruption to your auto attack chain.

 

I think it's important to note the changes listed here don't include the change that went in with Dragonslayer that lets you move while using Parry and also lets it deflect arrows.

[Luke Barrett]

How you want to even compare around 200 guard on AW (because of low health) to 5k+ barrier?

If you want to make AW just plain unplayable outside of routine, it's best way.
Generation wan't help you at all. His guard would constantly be for 1 shot, so damage would even overlap to health.

 

The core problem is that the amount of barrier is relative to your damage so the better you get the easier it gets. Needs to be refactored to be a static gain per hit or something like that. Future problem I suppose.

I can see a nerf incoming when they fix stonefist detonations. Its pretty awesome as it is. I can't imagine its supreme power once it actually does damage from detonates.

[Luke Barrett]

I had the same thing happen the other day
