Balancing
This patch is assured to shake the PvP meta – and never solely due to consumables. Take a look at the extra adjustments under!
Armor Penetration
The working of Armor/Magic Penetration has modified. Let’s assume you will have 50% armor penetration and your opponent has 1500 armor (which implies 75% harm discount).
- Earlier than: you’ll deal harm as in case your opponent had 750 armor (which implies 60% harm discount).
- Now: 50% of your harm goes by means of unmitigated, and 50% is mitigated (by 1500 armor, ie 75%).
What this implies in apply is that Armor Penetration is now extra highly effective, significantly in opposition to targets with excessive armor. Due to this, we needed to cut back all numbers from weapons, abilities and attributes. Whereas earlier than a personality with a dagger, 23 DEX and the skills would hit 50% pen (the cap), the identical character with 25 DEX now hits 30%.
How does 30% now examine to 50% earlier than? Let’s assume you deal 100 harm:
- Earlier than, 50% resist opponent (gentle): 50 => 67
- Earlier than, 75% resist opponent (tank): 25 => 40
- Now, 50% resist opponent (gentle): 50 => 65
- Now, 75% resist opponent (tank): 25 => 48
As you may see, it’s barely much less highly effective vs a lightweight person, and clearly extra highly effective vs a heavy person. Furthermore, all statuses and skills that used to cut back armor (e.g. rend armor, impale, corrosion…) now cut back it the identical manner, ie they apply armor pen on the sufferer. The full armor pen is capped at 50%, whereas earlier than the cap was solely in your modifiers, however talents pushed above.
In sum Armor Penetration is now a lot stronger and fascinating than earlier than in case you are combating in opposition to a tank.
