Hello everyone, Gronkins here with patch 0.5.4 of Dungeon Exiles! So this may be one of the last patches for the demo as the full version is releasing very soon! In case you haven’t heard, the official release date of Dungeon Exiles is the 8th of August and the Steam page has been updated with this information. But with that out of the way, let’s get into the patch notes! [b]Game Balance[/b] Evasion has been reworked to follow an entropy-based system so over time evading will be more consistent. For example, if attacked ten times with a 30% evasion chance, you will always evade 3 hits Note: Dodge is still fully random and does not follow this entropy-based system [b]Passives[/b] [b]Rogue[/b] Blade Dance: Percentage of Maximum Overguard on Hit: 1.5% -> 1% [b]Warrior[/b] Against All Odds: Increased Armour: 28% -> 32% Barricade: Chance of Gaining Armour: 25% -> 35% Battle Vigor: Increased Maximum Health: 5% -> 6% Born Fighter: Block Chance: 5% -> 6% Increased Mana Regeneration: 25% -> 0% Increased Bleed Damage: 0% -> 25% Brutal Strikes: Chance to Bleed: 10% -> 12% Carnage Fighter: Increased Mana Regeneration: 12% -> 0% Increased Attack Speed: 0% -> 10% Commanding Presence: Increased Mana Regeneration: 15% -> 25% Endless Endurance: Percent of Health Regenerated per Second: 0.5% -> 0.6% Fervour: Increased Attack Speed: 15% -> 20% Heavy Strikes: Increased Attack Damage: 12% -> 14% Critical Strike Chance: 4% -> 6% Painbringer: Increased Attack Damage: 18% -> 20% Replenishing Defence: Now restores 0.4% of Maximum Mana per second while Guarded Retaliation: Increased Attack Damage: 8% -> 10% Revenge: Activation Chance: 10% -> 20% Savage Recovery: Percentage of Health Restored on Melee Critical: 1% -> 2% Unbreakable: Armour: 14 -> 18 Increased Armour: 14% -> 16% Unflinching: No longer activates on taking a Critical Strike Now has a 20% chance to activate when taking a hit Duration (Seconds): 10 -> 8 [b]Traits[/b] [b]Warrior[/b] Vanguard 2: Block Chance: 8% -> 10% Juggernaut 2: Armour: 14 -> 16 No longer provides 18% increased Armour It instead provides: Reflect 3 Physical Damage to Attackers when Hit Berserker 2: Increased Attack Speed: 10% -> 12% Colossus 4: Increased Health Regeneration: 8% -> 10% Gladiator 2: Increased Attack Speed: 8% -> 10% Chance to Bleed: 15% -> 20% Gladiator 4: Duration (Seconds): 7 -> 6 Block Chance: 10% -> 12% Increased Attack Speed: 12% -> 18% [b]Enemy Balance[/b] [b]Enemies[/b] The Grave Warden: Can no longer inflict Fear with Attacks Soul Slash Coodown (Seconds): 5 -> 6 [b]Modifiers[/b] Bonebreaker (the modifier that provided enemies with a chance to Stun) can no longer randomly spawn [b]Events[/b] Ancient Forge: No longer costs a percentage of your Maximum Resolve, it has been converted into a flat amount Abandoned Campsite: Resting at the campsite now restores slightly more Resolve The Mysterious Alchemist: Now has a chance to give a new and exclusive potion called the Potion of Stoneskin which grants: Gain 5% of Maximum Overguard per second for 8 seconds [b]Items[/b] All Mage Weapons (excluding Treasure Items) have had their Maximum Elemental Damage to Spells reduced by 1 at all Item Tiers.
