Shot list of things that changed:
AC Softcap is based on your defensive skill (the scaling factors
are based on at least previously stated dev quotes)
The over AC Softcap returns are now based on exact calculations
made with the Armor of Wisdom AA.
Shielding item bonus and Melee mitigation spell bonus (nerfs)
NPCs damage will now correctly follow the
"damage base + (damage interval * [1, 20])" formula.
These changes might seem a little weird but I didn't want to change
any of the other damage situations since they were fairly good, but
they still could use a revamp as well.
New rules:
RULE_BOOL ( Combat, OldACSoftcapRules, false) // use old softcaps
RULE_BOOL ( Combat, UseOldDamageIntervalRules, false) // use old damage formulas for everything
RULE_REAL ( Combat, WarACSoftcapReturn, 0.3448) // new AC returns
RULE_REAL ( Combat, ClrRngMnkBrdACSoftcapReturn, 0.3030)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, PalShdACSoftcapReturn, 0.3226)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, DruNecWizEncMagACSoftcapReturn, 0.2000)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, RogShmBstBerACSoftcapReturn, 0.2500)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, SoftcapFactor, 1.88)
If you want to use the old calculations only, set
Combat:OldACSoftcapRules and Combat:UseOldDamageIntervalRules to true
New rules:
RuleI: Combat, DefaultRampageTargets
Set to 1
If the specatk db entry has no extra param it will use this
RuleB: Combat, RampageHitsTargets
Defaults to false
If true, if number hit is still less than RampageTargets, try tank
If you want the old behavior still set DefaultRampageTargets to 3 and
RampageHitsTargets to true
Before bash/kick's ability to stun was completely useless
at higher levels, it also never stunned for any duration.
Bash/Kick will always stun if the target is under the
base immunity level (kick the attacker needs to be over 55 as well)
If over base immunity, there is a chance to stun, defaults to
Combat:NPCBashKickStunChance (15%)
A Kick/Bash stun will last for 0-2 seconds
