Since our previous set of changes to Brann with maintenance earlier this week, we’ve continued to dig into his performance in different situations, and addressed several issues that needed attention. With hotfixes that have all gone live over the last day or so, we’ve now made the following improvements:
Delves
Brann Bronzebeard
Tank Brann now receives 13% reduced damage overall.
Tank Brann now receives 5% reduced damage while using his shotgun.
Tank Brann now receives 20% increased healing while using his shotgun.
Tank Brann maximum health increased by 10%.
The following spells now have a special internal cooldown for Electro-Charged Weapons stacks when healing Tank Brann.
Soothing Mists
Ultimate Penitence
Penance
Eternal Flame
Nourish
Rejuvenation
Riptide
Atonement
Ancient Teachings
All versions of Brann now take 50% reduced damage from AoE damage.
Fixed a bug where Healer Brann’s damage taken was not being reduced as expected.
Developers’ notes: Bottom line here is that Season 2 Healer Brann now has a reduction of damage taken that is similar to Season 1 Healer Brann.
Healer and Damage Brann’s Aspect of the Turtle cooldown reduced to 2 minutes (was 3 minutes).
Healer and Damage Brann’s The Bronzebeard Spirit self-heal cooldown reduced to 20 seconds (was 30 seconds).
Healer and Damage Brann’s The Bronzebeard Spirit self-heal effect increased to 30% of Brann’s health (was 15%).
An issue causing Tank Brann’s level to not properly increase beyond 50 has been resolved.
A particularly nasty trio of Hobgoblins appearing in Delves is now a duo of Hobgoblins. The other one went for a swim.
As always, thank you for your feedback on this and all concerns. We’ll keep monitoring and playtesting and working on it.
Looks much better. In the future if you want to avoid upsetting players, try a more gradual adjustment, rather than a huge overcorrection that disrupts everything, followed by walking it back later.
It’s the shock of a sudden huge change that gets people upset more than anything.
Figured they walked back some of the changes, also is Guardian Spirit interaction with Brann working as intended? Because it doesn’t bring him back up from 0%.
Also, not really too crazy about the hobgoblin change.
