Ronin

While we enjoyed the power fantasy of Ronin, his damage potential far outclassed his comrades by a staggering amount. We reduced the damage bonuses from many of his damage oriented skills to bring him more in line with Murmur and Nomad. His early tree tankiness was also a bit too much, and could propel a Ronin much further into a run than anticipated. The minor adjustments to Energy Efficient and Energizing Blade will make aggressive players approach situations more tactfully while not robbing him of his tank potential.  

• Base stats adjusted to 10 Armor and 20 Health
• Reduced Energy Efficient damage reduction from 75% from 50%
• Reduced Energizing Blade melee damage bonus from 25% to 15%
• Reduced In Your Face close damage from 10/20/30% to 3/6/9%
• Reduced Get In There close damage bonus from 10/15/25% to 2/4/7%
• Reduced Energizing kills “Overshield” bonus from 5 per close kill from 3

Nomad

• Base stats adjusted to 10 Armor and 10 Health
• Devastate now stuns armored enemies if triggered

Murmur

Diving in and out of combat and circling around enemies is a fun gameplay loop, but a bit too tricky to pull off for the reward. Fade Away now makes building for flanking much easier while the new Explosive Exit stun gives her a unique CC angle and sets up her enemies devastating backstabs! Quick Recovery in the late tree was a little bit too nutty, allowing players to essentially become immortal. Players can now only stave off the inevitable before having to retreat and catch their breath for a second pass, playing into her more rogue-ish nature.  

• Base stats decreased to 10 Armor and 15 Health
• Changed “Backstab” to “Flank” to better indicate what the player has to do to get the bonus.
• While using Fade Away, all enemies are counted as flanked
• Reduced Explosive Exit damage
• Explosive Exit now stuns enemies for 5 seconds
• Reduced Quick Recovery armor regen amount from 25/35/50% to 10/20/30%
