Combat overhaul in KotFE
Stratarchis / Oct 04, 2015
Read about 'em here. Short version: zoinks. Longer version:
Should be an adventure!
- No more aim/strength/will/cunning, just "mastery" as a universal main stat
- No more surge rating; crit now tells the whole story and increases both crit chance AND crit damage
- Basic accuracy going from 90% to 100%, which one would think means not having to burn 750-odd stat points on ACC (huzzah!)
- You now get leveled DOWN when visiting lower-level areas (you keep abilities, but stats and armor get proportionally nerfed), but you get XP appropriate to your adjusted level--meaning that pretty much any task, even going back to do stuff on Nar Shaddaa or whatever, will now pay off even for advanced toons. So if you missed stuff, it no longer has to stay missed.
- All companions can fill any role (dmg/tank/heal), so if you want Risha along for witty banter, you no longer have to roll with two RDPS. Oh, and companion gear no longer affects their competence--it's all level--so their equipment is purely cosmetic and you don't have to waste time upgrading their kit once you find a look that suits them.
Should be an adventure!
