Hotfix 2.0 - Hotfix #2

Today we're tweaking a lot of numbers based on feedback and data collected from the past week.

SHAMAN

• Increased Shaman's base defence (50 -> 60%)
• Reduced Mask of the Fanatic's defence bonus (50 -> +35%)
• Reduced Chant of the Fanatic's defence bonus (80 -> +70%)

ARCHER

• Increased Archer's base defence (60 -> 70%)
• Decreased Focus's damage bonus per focus (40 -> +25%)
• Increased More Focus' (both of them) damage per focus (-5 -> 0%)
• Reduced Double Shots' spread by -25%
• Increased Twain's Arc damage (Neutral: 200 -> 220%)
• Increased Initiator's damage bonus (50 -> +60%)

• Shocking Bomb will not convert damage elements anymore
• Increased Shocking Bomb's damage (Thunder: 0 -> +40%)
• Increased Crepuscular Ray's damage (Neutral: 25 -> 30%)

The above Sharpshooter changes are to shift the power of Focus towards other Sharpshooter abilities instead.


ASSASSIN

• Increased Surprise Strike's damage bonus (60 -> +80%)
• Increased Violent Vortex's damage (20 -> 30%)
• Reduced Violent Vortex damage requirement (2x -> 1.5x of your max health)

• Increased Violent Vortex's cooldown (1 -> 2s)
• Reduced Stronger Vortex's damage requirement (3.5x -> 2.5x of your max health)
• Added a sound effect to Multihit
• Fixed a bug where Surprise Strike didn't deal its bonus damage to Powder Specials

Shadestepper had a lower win rate in the early to mid-game. These changes are to try to correct this.


MAGE

• Increased Teleport's range (12 -> 16 Blocks)
• Increased Windsweeper's max Winded (5 -> 10)
• Decreased Windsweeper's damage per Winded (Neutral: 20 -> 10%, Water: 10 -> 5%)

• Reduced Transonic Warp's damage per Winded (Neutral: 20 -> 10%, Air 5 -> 3%, Thunder 5 -> 3%)

The above Riftwalker changes are to slow down the speed at which Winded can be built up, without affecting its high damage potential.
