Phoenix Labs' behemoth-hunting RPG Dauntless has recently launched its 1.0 version with a hefty update that brought a new weapon to the table. Now, it's time for a new hunt pass called Haunted Shadows and another batch of changes.
Now, the attack speed we're referring to was not a singular move and the dev wrote, "Attack speed was originally thought of only as a function of DPS, but in practice we're seeing it provide sizeable boosts to safety due to its ability to frequently proc on-hit effects. We're reducing the magnitude of attack speed granting effects to reflect this."
The changes were made to the following cells:
Conduit:
- Bonus attack speed reduced to 4/6/8/10/12.5/15% (down from 5/7/10/14/19/25%).
- Buff duration increased to 10 seconds (up from 8 seconds).
Hellion/Molten:
- Bonus attack speed reduced to 10% (down from 20%).
- Bonus move speed reduced to 20% (down from 33%).
Evasive Fury:
- Bonus attack speed reduced to 7.5/10/12.5/15/17.5/20% (down from 4/8/12/16/20/25%).
- Bonus attack speed is now active for 16 seconds at all ranks.
Wild Frenzy:
- Bonus attack speed reduced to 7.5/10/12.5/15/17.5/20% (down from 5/8/12/16/20/25%).
Overpower:
- Bonus damage reduced to 10/20/30/40/50/60% (down from 15/20/25/40/55/70%).
Additionally, Captain's Grip had its attack speed reduced from 20 to 15 per cent, while its cooldown is up from 20 to 22 seconds.
