Update 13.1

Adrenalin and Frenzy have been reworked. Their previous implementation was clearly too strong, most of all in high difficulty where damages go crazy. You can have a better understanding of how they work now in the Balancing section.

-
Added Flask recharges where the Fountain is broken in BC1.
-
Spikes in Beholder's Pit are now retractable.
-
Timed Doors now open if you reach them at the exact last second.

Update 13.1

Update 13.1
-
Heal given by doing melee attacks with Frenzy or Adrenalin is now a percentage of the player's HP. This percentage is scaled with Brutality and raw damages dealt by the attack, and capped starting at 35 Brutality for Adrenalin and 40 for Frenzy. Critical hit, affixes and all other damage modifiers are taken into account, but we look at the attack's damage before tier scaling. This means late game weapons with multiple modifiers will always be more interesting than the early game weapons without going overboard. It also means than a broadsword hit will always give more health back than a sandals hit.
Unfortunately, the complexity of the formula made it impossible for us to clearly indicate in the mutation description how much health will be given back.
Update 13.1
-
Knife thrower stun on contact has been removed. Instead, he now has an ability similar to the Archer to teleport over a short distance when cornered, and should roll a bit more often. This was done in order to avoid situations where the player is getting shot at very close range, giving them more time to anticipate the shots.
Update 13.1
-
Bombers and Demons elites will no longer spawn with the shield pylons abilities.
