Devblog: Incoming Balance Changes

[Harridas]

I hope that these balance changes are only the start of improving the game’s combat design, otherwise these changes wont amount to much and basically nothing for the game modes & difficulties outside of Havoc. Which is, you know, where the rest of the entire game is.

Krak Grenades

• Max charges from 4 to 3 (With ‘Grenadier’, from 5 to 4)

Kraks default max is already 3 with Grenadier at 4??

Inferno Force Staff

Alongside the changes to Soulblaze (details just below), we are giving a small buff to the Carapace armour direct hit effectiveness of this Force Staff, allowing it to still be valuable against the heavily armoured targets in a mixed group of enemies.

• Direct hit ADM vs Carapace armour from 0.25 to 0.35

Damage over Time effects changes

Since the ease of gaining global Rending was significantly lowered due to the changes to Melee weapon Blessings, we have increased the Armour Damage Modifiers of specific Damage over Time effects against the Carapace armour type, and overall slightly raised the damage of Psyker’s Soulblaze.

DoT effects

• Burn ADM vs Carapace armour from 0.1 to 0.2
• Soulblaze ADM vs Carapace armour from 0.1 to 0.25
• Soulblaze Damage per tick while at max stacks changed from 250 to 255

I really think inferno does not need or deserve a compensation buff, let it suffer for its crimes
