Fury Nerfed. Not On Patch Notes.

[Kaidinah]

Fury was nerfed. This was not on the patch notes. It provides 30% attack speed now.

 

Thoughts?

the normal dmg was a bit buffed - and at the same time charge attack was nerfed

impact 6->6.8

puncture 6->6.8

slash 28->31.5

charge 200->180

This is the kind of stuff that makes me narrow my eyes at DE. Stealth nerfs are just underhanded and weasely. This isn't the first time.

I'm okay with it. The new system is timing-based, and having Fury at what it once was only discourages timed combos and encourages spamming. It also screws up the stamina system that was freshly redesigned specifically for Melee 2.0.

Fury now has a new role-- to increase the pace at which combos can be done, which puts it at best use in the hands of skilled players.

 

Keep in mind that Coptering doesn't seem to be hugely impacted by attack speed anymore. The whole mechanic has been revamped.

Zoren's attack speed was too.

yea, quite a few melee weapons are just slower, with fury nerfed on top. damage-wise it's a-ok cause that was buffed but some melee weapons just feel sluggish now.

As was Galatine's. Which is a bit of an issue considering its niche - charge attack annhilation - is kind of out the window now.

 

My guess is that Stand mods speed up attack animations. But I've yet to find one, so I can't say.
