Hey folks,
As mentioned last week in the Blessings thread, we will be making changes in the next patch that eliminate most all "overcap" stat bonuses which ignore diminishing returns. Blessing of Hela is the main change in this context, but there are other sources of these kind of overcap stat bonuses which have proven to be a problem and are being changed at the same time as Blessing of Hela to once again respect diminishing returns.
The other bonuses being changed at this time are:
Cable Hero Synergy
Star-Lord Hero Synergy
- Ghost Rider Hero Synergy
- Moon Knight Hero Synergy
- Wolverine Hero Synergy
- Midtown Patrol Vest slot 2 Unique item affix
As we mentioned we'd be doing in the last Test Center phase, enemy health has been adjusted game-wide in conjunction with these changes to account for the overall lower Brutal Strike chance.
Hero powers are being reviewed in this process as well; for the case of hero powers, only powers that conferred a passive overcap bonus to Critical Hit or Brutal Strike chance are being changed.
This only affects two Rogue passives, stolen from Drax and Hawkeye respectively. These will be changed similarly to the Hero Synergy bonuses above, and converted to 4% rating multipliers. Powers that confer a temporary overcap bonus, or bonuses that only affect a single power (such as powers that always result in a Brutal Strike) will not be changed.
Omega system nodes are not planned to be changed as a part of this update.
