January 2017 Tuning Discussion - PRELIMINARY

[Hypnos]

Nice to see rainmaker getting some skill changes. Does that mean I will lose the skill shards I put into moves like guard, lifesteal and strike?

[Aristo4]

no direct changes to the Prisoner for that next update.

The skill shards for the old abilities should transfer over to the new skills.

On spell Vamp. What does "changed AI to heal from buff mean?"

Thanks for that kaz.

On spell Vamp. What does "changed AI to heal from buff mean?"

It means that the character will no longer use it when it wants to use a heal skill (when it or allies have low HP), but will instead use it when it wants to use a buff skill (based on how it's AI prioritizes when to use buff skills instead of other skills).

In general, it means that the character is less likely to use it when it won't get mileage out of the Spell Vamp buff.

[Shifter]

Thanks Spartan, that is exactly what I hoped it meant.

[CanyptianFit]

Thanks for engaging with us beforehand. On paper it seems reasonable, looking forward to testing it out.

Again, thanks for listening.

Up the Irons!

Looks like a reasonable update. Off handedly, any chance those random MACL0 errors at the end of fights might fade back to wherever they came from?

[Browno]

Will the change of trolls fervor make it deal more damage, or is it just 1 more skill shard needed for same damage?
