Further improvements to Two-Handers

by - 10 years ago

When the changes to Heavenly Strength and Two-Handers were first announced, many said it would make Heavenly Strength usless during the leveling process. Blizzard quickly realized this and Grimiku took it to the forums to explain how they would adress it.

We’re planning on expanding the level range for the retroactive damage buff to 2-handed weapons, so that it will include item levels 10-70 in patch 2.1. One of the benefits of this change is that it should help lower level Crusaders feel like Heavenly Strength is still a good choice. The percent of increased damage will still be based on the weapon speed, and not based on item level. So, lower level items will receive the same base percent damage increase as their higher level counterparts.

Additionally, we’re adjusting the amount of increased damage from 23-26% to 26-30%.

Implementing this at the lower levels was exactly what needed to be done, but the extra increased damage came as an interesting and very welcome surprise.

How excited are you for patch 2.1?
