Player Abilities & Equipment Update – Patch #1

• Increased the refined essence cost of Omega weapons, to ensure that challenge sieges and ascendant (top) ranks on all other sieges provide the most efficient path for acquiring these items.
• Reduced the ambient rate of radiation exposure in radioactive areas.
• Adjusted the gamma shielding so that all ranks of the gamma shielding provide the same level of radiation protection; higher ranks now improve physical resistance instead.
• Increased the radius that irradiated enemies can move before they evade.
• Improved the discharge effect on the Polarity Bident & Spiked Polarity Rod.
• Reduced the base damage of the corrosive bombard to ensure its primary function is about applying corrosion.
• Reduced the rate at which the bombard applies corrosion to enemies as it was stacking too fast.
• Reduced the damage per tick from corrosion on monsters.
• Reduced the rate at which the gamma stave applies radiation to enemies.
• Reduced the damage per tick from radiation on monsters.
• Adjustments made to the damage and stun potential of jumping attacks.
• Improved the symbiote rod so that the symbiote effect causes damage over time and exploding that effect causes more damage and splash damage.
