daring mortarPTS Patch Notes – Subject to change
Shadow Hunter Updates
When going into a revamp for this class we wanted to keep the core concept of the class focusing on single target basic attacks while adding new tools to assist this playstyle.We have removed Radiant Arrow and replaced it with Shadow Seekers. Shadow Seekers uses a new resource called Seekers that are gained from basic attacking Shadow Marked targets. The Shadow Hunter now deals increased damage to Shadow Marked target and now Sun Snare now applies Shadow Mark to enemies damaged by it.Additionally, we have implemented a new ultimate called Sacred Arrow which fires a large arrow that applies a damage over time effect to any targets hit by it. Holding down the ultimate button will continuously fire these arrows until the Shadow Hunter runs out of energy. Sacred Arrows damage over time effect can stack multiple times. Please note that this is subject to change, and we look forward to feedback on the revamp.
Passive – Dark Whispers – Nearby enemies periodically receive a Shadow Mark, increasing damage done to them as well as making them visible through walls. When the Shadow Hunter uses a basic attack on Shadow Marked targets a small explosion is triggered at the target dealing 250% damage and granting the class one Seeker. Additionally, when dodging the Shadow Hunter gains a movement speed boost for a short time.
Basic Attack – Basic shot attack damage increased to 400% up from 250%. Projectile size has also been increased. Additionally, basic attacks can shoot through walls and enemies.
Gem Attack – Shadow Blitz – Basic Attack becomes a rapid-fire stream of arrows. Increased damage to 200% up from 100%. Additionally, added the ability to shoot through walls.
New primary ability – Shadow Seekers – Requires one Seeker to use. On use launches all Seekers that hunt the closest target and explode on contact dealing 250% damage. The Shadow Hunter can store up to 5 Seekers at a time. Each Seekers deals increased damage for each one fired when used (250%/450%/550%/650%/900%).
Sun Snare – Throws a trap that detonates on proximity, dealing 400% and stunning nearby enemies. Now has increased area of effect and applies Shadow Mark to targets.
New Ultimate Ability – Sacred Arrow – Fire a large damaging arrow of energy that deals 300% damage every 0.5 seconds for 7.5 seconds. This arrow pierces targets and blocks. As long as the ability button is held down you will continuously fire arrows until running out of energy. Slows the player greatly. Damage over time effect can be stack multiple times on the same target.
Combat Updates
Trove combat is now conducted with 64 bit precision for health and damage. No longer will bosses be limited to a mere 2 billion health.
Opponents in Delves will no longer rely on somewhat random damage reduction to suppress damage (although deeper bosses are still protected by Darkness.) Abyssal and Nightmare depths of Delves should have more accurate feedback on how much damage is actually being done.
Additional Class Updates
The idea here is to make some balance changes to classes overall and shake up the overall meta play. Some classes have been brought down a little to bring them in line with others, while most classes have been buffed. We will continue to tweak these changes throughout PTS and hope for player feedback.
