Salutations rôdeurs archers,

Hunter Ranger has had some adjustments in the past and, while they are in a fairly good state, there are still some improvements that we wanted to make. In this update, we primarily focused on creating a more viable Archery build as well as some minor buffs to encounter powers that we expect to be used in that build.

We also focused on the buffs that are applied through the various animal-based powers, such as Boar Hide and Stag Heart. A lot of these buffs were lackluster, unclear in what they did, and scaled in a weird way with power ranks. All of these things have been addressed and a new class feature has replaced Battlehoned that will hopefully allow these to see more use. We actually did tune down Hawkeye a bit because even though we want these to be used more, we want them to be more utility focused instead of damage focused.

Aspect of the Serpent is something that we’re experimenting with as well. It stacking up to 3 times adds a couple of different gameplay elements. It means that the first stack consumed makes your attack hit very hard and it means that you can do all 3 encounters and then 1 at-will rotation and have your full stacks back. We are hoping that this gives trapper a slight damage boost as well as other builds that switch stances often.

Finally, we wanted to touch up some class features in Pathfinder as most of them weren’t being used, or were being used in very specific situations. Two of them have been slightly revamped so that they can be stronger in end-game content, but probably won’t end up replacing your heavy hitting features. The other will increase the effectiveness of your animal-based buffs and should offer a more unique build to help your team.

Actually, we were able to get one more fix in and that would be for the shift power. We saw that it was consistently breaking when trying to dodge things so we adjusted the immunity frames to start more near the beginning of the animation.

Diminuer la durée des racines ? ça va pas beaucoup aider le trappeur

L'archerie sera toujours injouable à 20m du groupe et sans bouger en plus?

Et un ptit nerf du combat en plus?

GG le rodeur sera plus compétitif en dps

@percemer
Ne sachant pas où poster une question de type générique, je vais la poster ici, puisque c'est la classe que je joue. Déplace la si tu le souhaites.

Au vu du nombre conséquent de changements dans les classes, est il prévu que Cryptic offre un jeton de respécialisation à chaque personnage ?

percemer · septembre 2018

Bonjour @blackadam2#7256,

Oui, lorsqu'il y a de gros changements, tout le monde reçoit un jeton de respécialisation

Cordialement,

booster l'archerie , très bonne idée, mais n'aurrait il pas été plus simple, d'augmenter considérablement la porter des buffs ?(voila le principal probleme de l'archerie et du trappeur …!)
