Class Rebalance Update 12.16.13

As was mentioned on the forum, the class rebalance has moved into a testing stage.  The test server now has a new instanced galaxy off of Sol that contains passive test dummies with various shield banks.  If you start shooting one, it will keep track of how long it takes you to kill it and notify you of the time in galaxy chat.  To reset the test dummies, just exit the galaxy and make a new squad.

Test server is also updated with the newest draft of class skills. We have already posted class-specific details on the forum, so I will just point a few things out here that may not be immediately obvious.

  • Speed Demon no longer needs to be moving to get Speedy Firing DPS bonus.
  • Berserker now only multifires 3 weapons, but has actually received a modest increase in DPS as well as boost to DPE.
  • Most classes now have access to various super items. Drop by your class’s base in Lyceum on test server to see if there are any available for your class (they’re not all done yet).
  • If you use missiles, try dragging your launcher up to the hotbar. It will use the charging animation to show when it’s ready to launch a volley of missiles.

If you try out the new classes on test server, I would like to invite you to also post your results on the forum (or send them to yclepticon in a forum PM).  I am especially interested to get feedback on the class-locked super items.  Thanks for your time!
