✭✭✭✭✭"Momentum: This ability and its morphs no longer grant Major Evasion for their duration, and will instead grant Minor Endurance.

Originally, the Major Evasion was meant to grant Two Handed a more natural source of Major Evasion, a powerful tool that is meant to help Stamina-focused characters survive deadly attacks that bypass their primary means of survival, Roll Dodge. However, this led to a situation where Momentum felt too good to pass up, and was eclipsing other skills that also grant the bonus."
Thank goodness for that.4 -

Major Evasion was being given out like candy. Along with reducing AoE damage, that was making AoE irrelevant. I'd rather it were something like Minor Berserk or Heroism, but at least this buff is consistent with stam damage and not tankiness.3 -
sentientomega✭✭✭Now they should re-add the HoT, and boost the burst heal a bit, but only on Rally, and add the burst heal to Momentum and the Forward Momentum morph.
Edit: I noticed that they never had a developer comments section for any of the changes to weapon abilities in 5.1.0, but especially Momentum and the morphs. I wonder why...Edited by sentientomega on July 22, 2019 4:28PM1 -
MincVinyl✭✭✭✭✭losing hps for recov. ehhh I would need to compare numbers, but this could go either way.
On another note there are not that many sources of minor endurance available easily.0
