Hello,
We are releasing quite a few balancing changes to pets, enchantments, and items today:
Enchantment Changes[]
In short, the goal of enchantment balancing is to nerf One for All and buff regular enchantments so they match the strength of One for All. One for All should be in a spot where it is still the best option for raw damage in multiple scenarios, but a fully maxed out enchantment setup can out-dps OFA in most situations.
To buff enchantments, we not only made higher tiers scale harder than lower tiers, but we also revamped some of the less useful enchantments, such as Fire Aspect, Venomous, Thunderlord/bolt.
- One For All is now additive damage and not multiplicative, granting +500% damage.
- Titan Killer buffed to 2/4/6/8/12/16/20% per 100 defense, and now caps at 6/12/18/24/40/60/80% for levels 1-7.
- Giant Killer buffed to 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.6/0.9/1.2% per 1% HP, now caps at 5/10/15/20/30/45/65% for levels 1-7.
- Prosecute buffed to 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.7/1.0% per % HP the target has left.
- Prosecute now caps at 40% at level 6.
- Execute level 6 buffed from 1.2 to 1.25%.
- Fire Aspect 1/2 deals 3/6% of your total damage per second.
- Venomous now increases damage inflicted on the monster by +0.3/0.6/0.9/1.2/1.5/1.8% damage per hit, stacking up to 40 hits globally with other players. Stacks last 5 seconds.
- Thunderlord deals to 20/40/60/90/125/160% of your total damage when it procs.
- Thunderbolt deals 10/20/30/45/65/80% of your total damage when it procs.
- Sharpness buffed to 5/10/15/20/30/45/65% bonus damage for levels 1-7.
- Lethality now correctly reduces a % of the current defense of the enemy monster.
- Lethality is changed to:
- 1.2/2.4/3.6/4.8/6/9% defense reduction per stack.
- Max of 4 stacks instead of 5.
- Duration of the effect reduced from 8 to 4 seconds.
- Ender Slayer buffed to 15/30/45/60/80/100/130% on endermen for levels 1-7.
- Cleave level 6 buffed from 18% to 20%.
- Critical levels 6 and 7 buffed to 70/100 Crit Damage.
- Smite buffed to 10/20/30/40/60/80/100% on Zombies for levels 1-7.
- Cubism buffed to 10/20/30/40/60/80/100% on Slimes and Magma Cubes for levels 1-7.
- Bane of Arthropods buffed to 10/20/30/40/60/80/100% on spiders and silverfishes for levels 1-7.
- Caster's lore now shows correct values.
- Impaling buffed to 25/50/75%.
- Impaling now works on all Sea Creatures.
- Impaling can now be added to fishing rods.
- Fortune level 4 buffed from 40 to 45 Mining Fortune.
- Power level 6 and 7 buffed to 50/65%.
The reason why Fire Aspect, Thunderlord, and Thunderbolt enchantments are now the only ones to multiply with all other damage increments is because they are creating new instances of damage (there is another number appearing on the screen). We believe it is more intuitive if all damage values scale the same way.
And here are a couple more enchantment-related changes:
- Doubled the odds to get ultra rare rewards in the experimentation table.
- Doubled the odds to find Chimera Books from Minos Inquisitors.
