less damage in havoc form?

anyone else seemingly doing less damage in havoc form?

[Gunfire Games]

Havoc form benefits from Arcane stats, so if you're focused on a Strength build, it won't seem a lot of damage comparitively. We have addressed this slightly by increasing Havoc Damage in general in the next patch.

Can you also decrease amount of loss from hit by enemies? In Scorn demons can end my Havoc form with +50% very fast, like 1 combo and that's all.

ok well my increase to strangth and arcane is equal. but even so when i saw similar numbers appearing both in havoc and outside of it against a boss it still seemed that even with the game showing me similar numbers i somehow did less damage to the bosses health bar.

Yeah, seems very odd to have Havoc - basically a the trademark horseman Ult - only work effectively for arcane builds. It likely means at least half the players will miss out on using this ability.

yes i just completed the game for a second time because i hadn't done the optional boss that was made to seem a normal part of the story first time around because i was expecting to run into it as normal part of the story. and on the last boss then i with my arcane buff at same level as my strength buff at same levels and all weapons at 9 i did way more damage in non havoc mode.

[Madao]

yeah like you need to put so much points in arcane skill for it to deal decent dmg in havoc form,but when i did that i start dying so quickly that i had to start the game from the start.Shame you can't reset skills

[kyse2]

build more arcane dmg and is an enhancement for it but yeah even with all that it still isnt as good as say darksiders 1 and 2

Arcane should be a secondary stat, in that it should add elemental damage to the physical damage that you do, I have noticed that Havoc form does less damage overall and that's simply wrong when she is hitting with two whips.

What's the point of building much arcane if your weapons only do physical damage? maybe I'm wrong here; it should add up so that the hollow weapons do extra arcane besides the physical damage.

dmg is doubled. byt yeah, it seems not realy worth it. It should hit like double the charged +10 hammer.

Or better idea: give Havoc bonuses both buffs from physical and arcane.

The Arcane is meant to be more a skill based stat as it affect counters, charge moves, wrath and Havoc Form. Also, like previous Darksiders games Bosses have resistance to Chaos/Reaper/Havoc form. This resistance has been slightly reduced as well in the upcoming patch.

I'm actually amazed you keep track on this forum. Good job!
Keep up the good work!

Hey there! Patch will be sometime this week!

[kyse2]

cant wait to see whats in the patch and patch notes are always nice to see :P

[Dante-Quietus]

Also, charged salvation does LESS damage than a non-charged salvation if you are a strenght build. This also seems a bit odd/wrong.
