Development Manifesto: Content Update 2.6.0 Balance Changes

Feb 22, 2017, 5:42:39 PM
Content Update 2.6.0 includes a long list of changes to game balance. Our primary intent is to better enable a larger selection of powerful build types and skill choices. Many of the more extreme changes to core systems have been held until The Fall of Oriath's Beta, while 2.6.0 will have a stronger focus on improving underused passives, weapon types, unique items and skills (with a focus on their Threshold Jewels). These changes will all combine to create a large selection of new builds to try out. Rory, a Senior Game Designer, has written a Development Manifesto to outline these changes. Read More.
