This is a pretty big update. The first of several. In addition to the much optimized server code, I have made many game changes as well. These changes are live as of this post.
Training Boost talents are removed. The 10% training boost is now applied by default!
Each class has been given new talents to replace the removed training talents. Other changes have been made as well.
Assassin
- Attacks on unsuspecting enemies while in stealth have a 50% increased critical strike chance.
- Stealth does not break when you one shot kill an enemy.
- Blade Storm is now AOE. Damage was reduced 40% and rage cost was massively increased.
- Sever is now available at level 1.
- Hamstring is now available at level 10.
- New talent “Bloodletting” added. Adds increased chance for critical hit on bleeding enemies (currently only Sever and Gash (Titan attack) cause bleed).
- New Talent “Improved Stealth” available, decreasing enemy site and increasing critical strike chance of initial hit.
- Discipline now decreases enemy critical strike chance against you.
Channel Energy, Improved Agility and Improved Strength now have 5 points of upgrades instead of 3. *Channel Energy was moved back to 3 but bonus per point was increased by 1.- Penetration now mitigates 25% of armor instead of 20%.
