May 9, 2013 Balance Patch



General


  • The way that gods are selected in Assault mode has been modified slightly to improve the random selection of the gods.

Items



Vampiric Shroud
  • This item now awards health and mana for every kill and no longer has a cooldown.

Gods


Seething Howl
  • The amount of physical power gained has been increased back from 10/15/20/25/30 to 10/20/30/40/50.
    Brutalize
  • This ability has been changed to deal base physical damage with physical power scaling. This no longer does basic melee attacks or allows for on-hit effects to be applied.
  • This ability now deals 40/70/100/130/160 (+50% of your physical power) physical damage on each hit and hits four times.

It's a nerf, but they had to buff him due to not being able to crit or lifesteal anymore
nor aply any form of on hit effect such as FBH, Beat sticks ect...

Glad to see the changes to Fenrir, maybe this will help people out. I'm SUPER HAPPY to see the changes to Assault though, and hope that the teams will be better now. It's a fun game mode, and I love that it helps me get out of my comfortable god zone, but a somewhat balanced team will make this so much better.

If I read correctly this does the following:

2: Decrease in damage gained from the steroid ability from 50 -> 30 at lvl 5 (scaled at other levels) - I'm not sure because of the wording in the post - it says increase but his damage was already 50 on this?!
You will still get the life-steal from this skill at the same rates.

3: Nerf to ability as the 4 strikes no longer count as basic attacks or stack on hit effects. It has its base damage buffed to compensate for this however from 50 (+30%) -> 160 (+50%).

The nerf to the 3 will mean the executioner effect is reduced because the debuff won't stack using this ability.

Hope that makes sense to you all.

Also, the Vampiric Shroud change makes the item far more useful!! This will allow Au Kuang, Ra, Poseidon etc to get this for health and mana sustain early on as there's no 2 second refresh which means you can now heal off a full wave of minions instead of 1!!!

2: They're reverting it back to the way it was, seeing as his Brutalize doesn't do auto-attack damage but instead JUST ability damage.

3: Yes.

4: Sounds about right.
