Gunbreaker Changes in Dawntrail Patch 7.1
Skill Name | Type | Changes |
---|---|---|
Aurora | Ability | Cure potency increased from 200 to 300. |
Superbolide | Ability | Effect now applies nearly instantly instead of after a short delay. No longer sets HP to 1, instead sets HP to 50% of max if above 50% HP, and has no effect on HP if below 50% HP. |
Heart of Light | Ability | Now also applies 5% physical mitigation instead of only 10% magic mitigation. |
Hypervelocity | Ability | Base potency reduced from 180 to 160. Potency after Melee Mastery II is acquired reduced from 220 to 200. At level 100, this means the potency is now 200 instead of 220. |
Double Down | Weaponskill | Now costs one cartridge instead of two. |
Hypervelocity damage was reduced to compensate for the increased amount of cartridges Gunbreaker will have as a result of the Double Down cost change. Overall these changes equated to about a 1% DPS buff for Gunbreaker.
