Vampire Undeath Change 1.3.3

Jaxom · August 2014

•Vampire •Reduced the passive Undeath’s damage reduction to 33%, and adjusted the tooltip accordingly.

Looks like they couldn't figure out how to fix it so they did the ole "adjusted the tooltip accordingly" trick. I suppose this shouldnt come to any surprise.

Yea, this is crap. if they are going to do this, they should just make it 33% once we hit 50% and it stays that way until we are dead or back above 50%.

It would have been weak before if it actually went up to 50%, now its even weaker "on paper".

But hey, take a look at batswarm. Lets tear it up for a bit in vengeful rage.

......... so this is NOT a nerf just more accurately stating how Undeath is working ????? If so i am happy.

It might as well be a nerf. The skill has said up to 50% since beta up til today. They acknowledge the bug of the skill on PTS last week, and this is their "fix".

eh..The tooltip has always stated 50% reduction, since early beta. They intended it to be 50% but it never worked that way. They "fixed the tooltip" similar to how they "fixed the tooltip" for Leeching Strikes to heal for a lower amount.

From a performance standpoint, the gameplay will not change. This is how it was always working. However, if it was supposed to perform at 50% and they just changed the tooplip accordingly, it's still a nerf in a backwards kind of way. It's like drinking milk after brushing your teeth. Just doesnt taste right.

I was really looking forward to that 50%. At least it won't be any worse than it currently is but it's not exactly a "fix" since the tool-tip wasn't the problem. It would be same thing if your bank said they were giving your 5% interest but you noticed you were only getting .5% interest so they just changed the contract to .5%.

Now that I remember, they did the same thing with Poison mist. It started out reading "Deals X Poison damage every 1/2 second". I bug report it because it wasn't dealing poison damage as stated, then the fix is to change the tooltip to 1.5 seconds.

Yep, instead of actually fixing the skill, they just did the lazy thing and changed the tool tip of the skill to match the broken value. So disappointing.
