About That Incoming Tentacle Swarm/pilfering Swarm Hyrdoid Nerf.

[HimitsuDragon]

Max dmg hydroid before U 17 caused the enemies killed by the tentacles to drop 4 items, not Double.

 

I can only assume that with Equinox's ability to boost power strength even more would result in even higher drop multipliers...?

 

I never got to test this myself, but I can only guess this was the reason (a good one to be honest) for this hot fix.

 

 

edit: for minor corrections.

Guys, you realise that the Hydroid scaling was only INTRODUCED by accident in this update, and for basically the entire lifetime before this it has been double drop by enemies killed?!

Take this.. maybe it will sort your brain out right.

I honestly dont see it as a nerf and hydroid is one of my favorites.

Now you dont need to build for pure power to even activate pilfering swarm, this change just makes it so your tentacle swarm with pilf. just tags the mobs and everyone else can kill them too.

Team mates not sitting twindling their thumbs while 1 guy spams a skill... in a coop pve game is a good thing.

Tentacle swarm isnt affected in any way.

Just not mandatory to last hit and rely on power while using pilfering.

I can build for range again \o/
