Improvements for Stamina-Based Skills and Passives

edited 1:40AM in Developer Discussions Staff Post
Many of you have asked what we’re doing to make skills, passives, and builds based on stamina more viable and as attractive as the magicka-based options. Below is a first look at some of the improvements we’re making to stamina-based skills and passives. As with all our balance efforts, this is an ongoing process and there will be more to come. We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Bow: Poison Arrow
  • Poison Arrow’s damage-over-time has been increased by 50% overall.

Bow: Snipe
  • Snipe’s cast time will be reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds.
  • Snipe’s maximum range will be reduced from 40 meters to 35 meters.
  • Snipe’s minimum range will be reduced from 20 meters to 10 meters.

Dual Wield: Flurry
  • The damage for Flurry’s final hit will be increased by 10%.

Medium Armor
  • With the Wind Walker passive, medium armor will reduce stamina costs by 2% per piece equipped.

Two Handed: Cleave
  • Cleave’s damage-over-time will be increased by 25% overall, and scale as the ability ranks up.

Two Handed: Uppercut
  • Uppercut’s damage will be increased by 10%.
  • Uppercut’s global cooldown after use will be reduced by 50%.

Honestly the best news here is where she says there is more to come, because as things currently stand this does not even come close in closing the gap between Magicka and Stamina builds :-/ Nice to see something is starting to happen though, it is indeed a step in the right direction!

THe biggest boost to stamina builds in that entire up coming changes post is the 2% reduction in the medium armor line. This should have been there from the beginning.

it is nice to see that they are doing something about it,  cuz my stam player has also been sitting there for a while, and when I do play him end up using more magika skills then I want to

I'm glad to see balance changes coming, but I agree with Ralcore, more is needed. The armor sets available for magika users are far superior. With the warlock jewelry set and passives I feel like I have an endless pool of mana.

I'm looking forward to more changes as I retired the bow on my sorc when I hit the Vet ranks. I prefer a ranger class so I'm itching to make the bow a viable option.

I am waiting on the extra changes, personally. The only skill I use on the list is Cleave, and it's not for the bleed. Frankly either morph makes it a skill you want to spam: either to get ultimate, or to refresh the damage bubble. Any addition is nice, but it's not much of a change for me at the moment.

Underwhelming, but at least they're acknowledging that they recognize the issue.  On one hand, I still think that they're being too timid with making timely changes, but on the other hand, I'm wondering how much of their development and testing resources they've diverted to trying to get the console ports released.  I still think they should shelve those until next year, once they get these issues with the PC port fixed and things more stabilized.  Their sales will be much better, IMO.

Oh well.

They know about the issues, not just in general but they know the specifics too.  They're working on it but they have shown their post release strategy is to do things incrementally.  While I know that means the changes may not be strong enough or soon enough for a lot of people it's probably the best route to take in the long run.

I agree with Mystborn - there is nothing worse than to rush out a bunch of changes and then realize it was "too" much since when they cut it back more people will be hollering about the "nerf" or to find that it totally borked something else.

I still haven't leveled my "archer" but she is waiting her turn in my line up of alts.  I do have a NB currently - but play them as a primary caster - my "archer" is totally different :)

I personally think it is a big conspiracy.... They intentionally broke the non magicka builds to give the game replayability. LoL
