PTS Updates - February 11, 2022
Shadow Hunter
- Gem Shadow Blitz: Gem Basic Attack has been decreased to 250%. The overall attack speed bonus has also been reduced.
- Sacred Arrow Damage over Time effect has reduced the duration to 7 and now ticks every second instead of every 0.5 seconds.
- Shadow Seekers now deal increased Critical Damage.
Pirate Captain
- First Mate now has increased attack speed when fully upgraded with Doubloons.
Automatic Private Delve Reset
- If a player has delved very deep (9+ levels) in a delve and fails to defeat a boss in time, a portal will open up to a new, easier delve.
- This only happens in private delves.
- This new delve will not have any special bosses or features of the original delve. It is just more private delving at an easier level.
- The portal will only be open for a short time (but one player who enters can invite friends to join, just like any other private delve.)
Other
- Any remaining event related Delve Gateways can now be deconstructed.
- Space has been added between the digits of floating combat text to make them slightly easier to read.
- Fixed a client crash that could occur when placing invalid items into forges.

Sir_NyantoI think they are trying to make Shadow Hunter the pinnacle of bad classes. I think they need to reduce the damage some more and make his class gem attack slower as well. Just lower its DPS substantially. In fact, we don't even need Shadow Hunter, just remove him from the game and give us a new class.
KezI agree with everything said in the comments. I was really excited to play SH, but after these nerfs, really? I've already lost all desire to play, they reduced the dodge cooldown and increased the SH damage which is something he does NOT have on the live server, it was perfect. So they reduced the damage from 350% to 325% ok, but then reduced it again to 250%???? It will basically be the same as the live server, but with more movement speed now. Like "Duskfade" said, the first version of the rework was perfect. Disappointed.
DuskstoneAgree with Faded. The constant backwards progression of HIS spotlight is souring the entire rework "event". Was planning to come back just for the SH rework alone but seeing him get treated with totally unnecessary nerfs from his well-deserved ver 1 rework is laughable and making me reconsider. Even put in the work to grind C4 bow for the occasion and got it, but seeing a patch note like this just completely deflates the hype. Put the damage back and maybe also consider giving him piercing arrows, or at LEAST give him piercing arrows if you plan on nerfing his CG basic attack into the ground back to live-server SH.
And why the nerf to the ultimate at all? What?? It's like devs don't want people to play SH. Faded said it best. Why the hell even rework him in the first place. Ridiculous
I agree! Shadow hunter was great! its just so stupid to nerf him. I was so excited for SH but now that i saw that small brain nerf i probably wont play trove for another year. Devs just try to compere it with other classes. its so easy. CM's nerf is also very dump. If this version comes to trove you will disappoint a lot of players and you will regret it. You are warned.
It really is sad to see what they're doing with him with these nerfs. The rework is a great step in the right direction and I'm grateful he's getting attention, but these nerfs are super unnecessary. He should have just stayed with his ver 1 rework. He was perfectly fine, able to be "okay" at everything and not the best at anything, actually viable. But wtf is going on with these updates. I could be wrong, maybe he had damage increased on his ult once a little bit and the CD increase on his seekers (lol) but AFTER the ver 1 first patch, he's hardly received any buffs whatsoever. I do consider the dodge MS cooldown to be removed a pretty great buff, but it was more patching the horrible nerf it got. It's been all nerfs otherwise, especially his CG basic attack, aka his figurative bread and butter and best tool. It's really disappointing and off-putting from wanting to come back. Maybe the goal is to try to kill the game, who knows
Faded7Why the nerfs of the Shadow Hunter? He's was doing close to no dmg for us maining him and now after the exciting news of the rework but the Devs keep listing to some people complain and you go right away to nerf him like this? What's the point of the rework in the first place then?? This is really disappointing.
