GGG explains the latest rework with bows in the Conquerer's of the Atlas patch.
00:00 - 00:05 | Players how known for a while that we've been working on a bow rework |
00:05 - 00:07 | Last league we did a minion rework, resulting in |
00:07 - 00:10 | Around 50% of the playerbase playing minion builds |
00:11 - 00:16 | Our goal for the bow rework was to increase diversity of bow builds |
00:17 - 00:21 | We nerfed most bow skills! |
00:21 - 00:24 | Bow league... |
00:29 - 00:31 | Bow league! |
00:31 - 00:34 | There's still only one viable skill! |
00:38 - 00:40 | Bow league! |
00:41 - 00:47 | Bow builds want point blang because it's a huge damage bonus |
00:47 - 00:50 | So we took the damage bonus from 50%... |
00:50 - 00:56 | and lowered it to 30%! Maybe they won't use it now! |
00:58 - 00:59 | We did the same thing |
00:59 - 01:01 | to the Point Blank support gem! |
01:04 - 01:06 | We could have left it alone... |
01:06 - 01:08 | to give players a reason to use it! |
01:13 - 01:14 | Bow league! |
01:14 - 01:16 | Mirage Archer was too powerful a support |
01:16 - 01:20 | So we nerfed that too! |
01:21 - 01:27 | We gave it less targeting range and a bigger less damage multiplier! |
01:35 - 01:36 | Ele hit deals 20% less damage |
01:36 - 01:39 | Scourge arrow has around 30% less base damage |
01:41 - 01:44 | Wait, wait... We actually did buff a few skills |
01:44 - 01:47 | Explosive arrow and lightning arrow will be pretty juicy |
01:47 - 01:49 | Tornado Shot... |
01:50 - 01:53 | We lowered the range of the secondary projectiles! |
01:54 - 01:56 | Headhunter... |
01:56 - 01:58 | Tornado Shot and Headhunter |
01:58 - 02:02 | Will still be the best bow build! So much for promised diversity |
02:05 - 02:07 | Bow league! |
02:10 - 02:11 | Boss life... |
02:11 - 02:13 | Resistances... |
02:15 - 02:17 | Enemies only have slight defensive buffs |
02:17 - 02:20 | So the best spell builds will still melt them! |
02:21 - 02:28 | We gutted multimod and are nerfing and removing some of the most powerful two-handed Shaper and Elder mods in the game |
02:29 - 02:30 | Even the bow mods? |
02:30 - 02:32 | Even the bow mods! |
02:36 - 02:39 | At least we changed Ranged Attack Totems! |
02:40 - 02:42 | What an exciting playstyle! |
02:50 - 02:55 | Quill rain's damage penalty is 30% instead of 40% |
02:56 - 02:58 | Will a wand rework be similar? |
02:58 - 03:04 | Some of the changes in this patch will affect wands. We will probably need to buff kinetic blast for that patch |
03:04 - 03:09 | We'll probably do something like remove an explosion and increase damage by 5% |
03:09 - 03:11 | Kinetic Blast needs better single target damage |
03:16 - 03:20 | This is a buff |
03:23 - 03:26 | Oh, and we are adding blight to the core game! |
03:31 - 03:36 | We weren't going to until we asked the fans at Exilecon! |
