Quote Hey folks,



Below you will find the planned changes for Deception and Infiltration in Game Update 5.5:

Quote: Note: All changes below are currently in development and are subject to change before being released.



Assassin

Deception Reduced the damage done by Ball Lightning by 5.15%

Amped Voltage no longer increases the damage of Discharge, but retains the rest of its effects

Dominating Slashes no longer increases the damage of Assassinate and the damage bonus it gives to Lacerate and Voltaic Slash has been reduced from 10% to 5%

Reduced the critical damage bonus given to Discharge and Ball Lightning by Crackling Blasts from 10% to 5%

Reduced the low-health damage bonus given by Sith Executioner from 5% to 3%

Shadow

Infiltration Reduced the damage done by Psychokinetic Blast by 5.15%

Fracturing Force no longer increases the damage of Force Breach, but retains the rest of its effects

Prevailing Strikes no longer increases the damage of Spinning Slash Strike and the damage bonus it gives to Whirling Blow and Clairvoyant Strike has been reduced from 10% to 5%

Reduced the critical damage bonus given to Force Breach and Psychokinetic Blast by Deep Impact from 10% to 5%

Reduced the low-health damage bonus given by Judgement from 5% to 3%

DevNotes: The Deception / Infiltration discipline was overperforming, so we made multiple changes to bring their DPS down to target levels. We reduced the damage of Ball Lightning / Psychokinetic Blast in addition to changing a couple passives to reduce the damage of other abilities.



Additionally, we reduced the critical hit damage on Discharge / Force Breach and Ball Lightning / Psychokinetic Blast through a passive, and slightly reduced the magnitude of the damage bonus given when enemies are at low health. These changes put Deception / Infiltration at their DPS target.
