Unlocked and Loaded - Patch Notes - Pt. 3 - OUT NOW!

[h3]Welcome to PART 3 of the patch notes.[/h3]

Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4.


[h2]Psyker[/h2]
When we started overhauling the Classes for Patch #13, we did it one Class at a time. The first one we tackled was Psyker. As a result, the Psyker ended up with a lot less Passive Nodes available compared to the others, resulting in less room to Customize your preferred build. In this Patch, we hope to remedy that.

[h2]Psyker Talent Updates[/h2]
Scrier’s Gaze
To further define this Ability as the go-to choice for those wielding non-Force Staff Ranged Weapons.

• Now also grants Suppression Immunity for its initial Duration.

Malefic Momentum
To incentivize weaving between Warp Attacks and Regular Attacks

• Now also grants +4% Damage to non-Warp Attacks for 8s after a Warp based Kill. Stacks 5 Times.

[h2]Psyker Talent Tree Updates[/h2]
With more nodes having to fit into the tree, we’ve restructured it a bit. All builds you have been playing up until now should still be available for you, but you might have to take a slightly different path to get there.
Inspiring Presence

• Removed.

[h2]New Psyker Talents[/h2]
Warp Unbound (As a modifier to Scrier’s Gaze)

• Scrier’s Gaze prevents you from overloading from Perils of the Warp during its lingering effect.

Charged Strike (As a modifier to Smite)

• Your Heavy Melee Attacks electrocute enemies, damaging them, without stunning them.

On the Left Side of the Tree:
Perilous Assault

• Up to 50% Weapon Wield Speed (based on Peril).

Channeled Force

• +30% Damage to Force Staff’s Primary Attacks after Fully Charged Force Staff Secondary Attacks. Lasts 5s.

Empyric Shock

• 6% Warp-Damage Taken by victims of your Force Staff’s Primary Attack. Max Stacks 5. Lasts 10s.

On the Right Side of the Tree:
Lightning Speed

• +10% Melee Attack Speed.

Warp Splitting

• Up to 100% Cleave, based on Peril.

By Crack of Bone

• Melee Weakspot Kills Quell 5% Peril and Reduce further Peril Generation by 20% for 4s.

Souldrinker

On your way to the Warp Siphon Keystone:
Penetration of the Soul

• +10% Rending on Warp-Attacks when above 75% Peril.

Empyric Resolve

Above Empowered Psionics:
Crystalline Will

• Overloading through Perils of the Warp no longer knocks you down, but you still take the appropriate Corruption Damage.

[h2]Veteran[/h2]
[h2]Veteran Talent Updates[/h2]
Skirmisher

• Duration 5s to 8s.

Opening Salvo

• First Percentage of Ammo: 10% to 20%.

Kill Zone

• Ranged Damage: 15% to 20%.

[h2]Veteran Talent Tree Updates[/h2]
Vanguard

• Removed. Replaced by ‘One Motion’.

Dev Note: Vanguard wasn’t performing as we wanted, and it was mostly viewed as a blocker to the talents below it. One Motion

• +25% Weapon Swap Speed.

Relentless

• Removed. It is now included in Executioner’s Stance per default.

Dev Note: Relentless was pretty much a must pick for the viability of the Ability.
[h2]Zealot[/h2]
[h2]Zealot Talent Updates[/h2]
Invocation of Death

• Changed from 1.5s Cooldown reduction on Melee Critical Strike to: +200% Cooldown Regeneration for 4s on Melee Critical Strike.

Dev Note: We missed the mark on the last change to ‘Invocation of Death’, leading to frustration. We hope this brings it to a satisfying and balanced state. In the previous patch notes, this was set to 175%, but we have increased it to 200%. Sainted Gunslinger

• Reload Speed per Stack: 3% to 6%.
• Max Stacks: 10 to 5.

Dev Note: The purpose of these changes is to allow the talent to reach its full potential faster. Vicious Offering

• Toughness: 7.5% to 10%.

The Voice of Terra

• Toughness: 2.5% to 4%.

Fortitude in Fellowship

• Toughness Coherency Modifier: 25% to 50%.

I Shall Not Fall

• Toughness Damage Reduction per Stack: 5% to 6.5%

Restoring Faith

• Heal 25% to 20%.
• Time for Full Heal: 5s to 4s.

Dev Note: These changes were made because Restoring Faith made taking stray damage a bit too forgiving. Swift Certainty

• Sprint Speed: 10% to 5%.

Dev Note: The Dodging effect of Swift Certainty is already a very strong effect. We’re lowering the movement speed slightly.

[h2]Ogryn[/h2]
[h2]Ogryn Talent Updates[/h2]
No Pushover

• Reworked. New Description:
  • Your Pushes have +250% Stagger. Can only trigger once every 8s.

Dev Note: The Old ‘No Pushover’ was frankly not up to par. Maybe this spices things up a bit? Big Boom

• Ranged Damage: 12% to 15%.
• Duration: 6s to 8s.

[h2]Additional Miscellaneous Talent Changes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where the Zealot class base Aura “The Emperor’s Will” remained active after selecting the “Loner” Aura talent.
• Fixed an issue where an additional stack of the Psyker “True Aim” talent was gained when inflicting stagger to an enemy during the cast of “Brain Rupture”.

Dev Note: A stack of the talent will still be gained when completing the cast.

• Changed the Psyker “Mettle” talent to only receive a maximum of 1 stack for each Critical attack, regardless of the amount of enemies hit by the attack.
