Listed below are the largest takeaways from his nerfs:

• Remaining Verse’s Tragedy modified to solely have an effect on enemies inside line of sight
• Remaining Verse’s Triumph Overguard values went down from 5,000 to 2,000 at Max Rank

These two are the most important and talked about modifications to the body out of the numerous others. Sure, he did obtain some tweaks to make different talents stronger. Nonetheless, the dramatic lower in his survivability and harm output felt prefer it was overkill.

What modified? 

Many felt that the harm output Dante had along with his Slash procs and having 1000’s of Overguard well being could be nerfed. He rapidly turned the jack of all trades. 

Dante was basically in a position to clear waves of enemies by utilizing two Darkish Verses in fast succession adopted by Remaining Verse. Then, to basically develop into invincible, he might use two Gentle Verses after which Remaining Verse to get 1000’s of Overguard inside seconds. 

With the change to Line of Sight (LoS), Dante might solely have an effect on enemies he can see. Although that was truthful sufficient to do, this doesn’t look like it’s taking impact as-intended. The vary has been considerably adjusted, and now it looks as if he can solely have an effect on enemies who’re proper in entrance of him at a brief distance.

Then, along with his Overguard talents, Dante can negate standing results. He doesn’t require mods like Adaptation or Rolling Guard to assist him survive. Overguard was in a position to be stacked upwards of fifty,000 relying on Energy Power. Plus, this may very well be forged onto teammates, making invincible setups. 

With the nerfs to Overguard, you possibly can nonetheless rack up 1000’s of hit factors, however the distinction could be very noticeable in its present state.

In a discussion board submit outlined by Neighborhood Director and Stay Ops, Megan Everett, she goes on to elucidate that the nerfs had been “not applied to our requirements” and acknowledges that the modifications have been “unpopular”.

Early subsequent week, the crew plans on enhancing the Line of Sight modifications in order that Dante’s Tragedy (2 Darkish Verses + Remaining Verse) works persistently. It gained’t have the ability to nuke rooms of enemies with ease, nevertheless it’ll nonetheless be very highly effective.

They’re additionally going to handle the Overguard gained from Gentle Verse and Triumph. The values gained’t be as excessive as vanilla Dante was, nevertheless it’s quite a bit higher than the place he’s proper now. Hopefully, with these modifications, Dante will nonetheless be the almighty caster body who can maintain his personal whereas not being totally game-breaking.
