Bad patch, too much nerf

[Zwek]

the game sucks now, because of all the crybabies complaining on the forums, they've nerfed echo knight, it does almost no damage, you can roll your head on the keyboard and take 4 hits in a row without dying, it was the only interesting boss that required skill, and now it's as easy as the others, even the fall damage has been reduced, you can fall from a height now without dying, it's not as punishing as before, in short, a casual game like all the others.

Havent tested him yet, damn, i hate when they nerf bosses, he is not even suppossed to be there right? So its totally optional if you do crucible or not, his fight was the only thing interesting in that roguelike atrocity.

I might have missed it but the only reference I've found in both Patch 1 and 2 regarding the Echo Knight was a fix so he wouldn't fall off the arena and bug the fight. (And people getting stuck at the exit) What nerf are you referring to?

I don't think echo knight is nerfed.
It is not mention in the patch notes and I don't think they leave that out if they nerfed him.

I only tested the game for a little while today. Did one crucible run. Did not notice any difference on EK.

I havent tested it yet, and it will take awhile now because i deleted everything hehehe, realms, chars, all gone so i can start anew.

Hardcore. lol

I haven't tested Ek either because I always start a new character with a big patch but I love my daily, weekly vendor dopamine fix across multiple realms too much. I also get attached to my characters and like going back to them and trying new weapons out. I'm a alt-aholic! lol

I can confirm fall damage feels unchanged as I have personally tested this for the good of the community;-)

Had to try a run, didn't noticed easier Echo Knight pretty much the same. However the nerfs to focus is not enough, was still able to spam my way through (and not even close to optimal stuff).

Tried another toon thats waaaay weaker, and yes they nerfed Echo Knight 100% :D.
It also feels like i take less damage from pretty much everything, armor change?

echo knight is the same as always, not that im crying but iv still not been able to down the night i just cant roll far enough away. tried about 15 maybe more times. the run to him is a joke its fun still but id like to get past him lol.

Doesn't have anything to do with the Echo Knight but, I started a completely new char a few hours ago and unfortunately I've come closer to the abyss 3 or 4 times than I would have liked and died from fall damage, so in short, if you fall into the depths the fall damage is still quite deadly the first boss and co will come tomorrow :) And if they have actually tweaked the balancing a bit with the patch, be happy the game is just at the beginning of a long journey and I'm sure you'll get enough reasons to wipe the tears from your teary face because you've died x times and your ego longs for a break :)

For me it is ridiculos of resources. Want to restart points? use resources, For crucible use resources. But it is hard to farm them.

Embers are a dime a dozen, they literally drop from everyone and everything. I've sold more than I can count because I'm tired of them cluttering up my storage chests. Even after selling a dozen stacks of them, I still have like 100 of them in storage.

As for the OP, EK was NEVER nerfed. He is literally exactly the same as pre-patch. What I'm happy about though is the nerf to throw runes though, was needed.

When co-op comes I'll give you some of my 540 Embers. I really need the storage space! lol

They nerfed the annoying bomb dude at the start, he doesnt throw as many bombs as before, thats the only nerf im aware of for now, he was too much though, he threw more bombs than a freaking stuka, all that was lacking was the siren.

[craftz]

hmm I still take alot of damage and fall damage. Takes 3 hits to kill me and I have 150 hp and 911 armor. Couldnt beat echo knight 9 times in a row and got him on the 10th. Focus gain nerf hit hard for the sword melee builds :(

[Dumar]

EchoKnight feels exactly the same.

His dmg hasn't changed from my perspective. I whipped his butt, but his poise dmg and regular dmg felt about norm.

First time ever, I parried Phase 2 Echo Knight's Lunging Stab and other sword attacks like I was a god... I felt so powerful.

I noticed, some of the Crucible rooms have a slight redesign however.

Notability, the room where as you drop into water, in blue-caves. The room is SMALLer this time around.

Also, towards the end of this cavern, they put up walls to seemingly protect the player from accidentally falling to their death I guess. Room is small and tighter knit.

Didn't verify if fall dmg was nerfed, but I died last night after patch to a typical fall. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary last night.
