[Durandal_LOTB]

This is the main post to discuss tuning changes that are in an upcoming update.

You can see the details for the preliminary tuning adjustments in the Game Updates forum post.

So even though this is a small set of changes, I still appreciate some of these for certain. For one, Labyrinth dropping Greek Awakening shards is good, though I am uncertain as to why this wasn't in the last update. Larger sands of blood cap is no doubt due to the next raid boss coming soon! In addition, those dream talismans in the arena souls seem pretty good. I do have a slight issue with the lack of fixes for Wasteland Ed's damage piercing. He cannot currently pierce Labs or Siege with his attacks. Super hyped for NoTB awakened and Osiris awakened, will have to see how they are. Overall, pretty happy.

I hope they also reduce tge time it takes to get 1 SOB to 5 per day.

Looks like Osiris will finally be played after sitting on the bench since I got him during the gods mega event. Now will he actually get used outside of those achievements and gauntlet? Probably not, but hey I wasn't even bothering with him in gauntlet before.

NotB Eddie is a great choice. But, I was really thinking (and hoping) we'd see Rainmaker next. Assassin is the only class without an awakenable Eddie, and VHE has his variant.

I think Rainmaker is unlikely since he doesn't fit with any of the current Awakening shards.

Yeah, that's a fair point. Hell shards could fit, with a little imagination. If he was going to get a new type of Awakening shard, what other existing characters would also use it?

Honestly? Mayan/Shaman themed ones would fit him.

Interesting, why do you say that? I'd love to see Shaman awakenable yesterday, by the way. Based on the song lyrics, I could agree with you. LoL materials would also be a fit - based on lyrics, not necessarily based on the game universe though.

Cheers for fixing the passive disable for the Pharoah dog cosmic and Cyborg comsic talisman, there are still plenty of character specific cosmic talisman that can be passive disabled (such as Lilith talisman talisman) though.

I really hope Rainmaker will be awakened soon, but I doubt he would be, mostly because he already got his revamp (which made him revelent for a couple of weeks before falling back in the obsolete land) a while ago.
