Decaying Winter: Overview of the Perk Changes in Update 1.0.0

[@rovyy8008]

Also as apostle you can just throw the stake AT the hunter for 20 healing

[@obcd8919]

This is true, thanks for clarifying that. Idk why I thought it would be more complicated.

[@hcy-di5bz]

that gonna make my dave as better meat shield even better than zealot shield

[@Insurrectionist_SharkFace]

I need to see more content from you regarding decaying winter because lowkey, you're perfect for making content on this game, the way you went about explaining stuff made even the people who were against the change understand why it was taking place, you're really good at commentating.

[@obcd8919]

Thanks, really appreciate the positivity actually.

[@Insurrectionist_SharkFace]

@@obcd8919 no problem, dw about it fam

[@MegaMoonie]

5:55 The immolator ability kept cancelling the bleeding you got from the barbed wire. Seems like it's a temporary aseptic bandage. But you can probably still get artery from pump shotgunners/MCX etc., due to it cancelling bleed, and not outright preventing it like aseptic bandage

[@obcd8919]

Didn't notice it before but yeah it looks like you can actually catch artery if you catch bleed+artery on the same server tick, ggs.

finally the endles trolling of blitzers killing our entire team of over

[@somerandomone]

sov main here returning after a year-two or so of not playing that damn class, the hp change got me so good LOL

[@MementoPervenire]

Goated absolutely peak The Division Survival Dlc background music, that mode was actually so peak and even with its low player count at times I feel made it even better to really nail in the isolation and the current situation you were in, and don’t even get me started on the rouge agent/s at the very end

[@39phamlee.75]

As a returning blitzer player (honored agent title), im bummed by the nerf. While the removal of friendly fire damage is nice, a functional blitzer never had too much of an issue avoid fragging allies, meanwhile, the damage resistance was one of the few things that built blitzer’s identity as a sustainable backliner

[@knightgabriel1311]

It was like 10% damage resistance you'll live

[@39phamlee.75]

@ the actual number was close to 15% , the main important was that it could stack with Fearless for a bigger number and im quite sick of the “you’ll live argument” , since you could say the same when playing Damned or any other perks without its pros. With all that we’re given in the game, every little number count

[@pavlo5551]

No one likes blitzer anyways

[@Sam_Hue]

Everyone else: Wave Ultima

[@goldenzed6455]

As a berserker main, it would've been much better if instead of immunity to fractures, it was immunity to cripple instead. The worst debuff a melee frontliner could have is the cripple debuff. Being able to sprint and move around is more important than being able to shove. Especially when you consider the fact that there are only a few situations where shoving is preferable than parrying.

[@Literallylazy1]

Dont berserker serum bypass cripple already? I dont think it would have much use..

[@ubaidaqeel386]

Also, fracture does make melee attack speed painfully slow, so as a melee Frontliner, it may have more of an effect Although the berserker buff does bypass it for a bit

[@tremeschinion9420]

​@@Literallylazy1it allows you to sprint but still lowers your movespeed. And then theres... dealing with the cripple after your serum runs out. Wastes an entire scavenging night if you dont have a splint; fracture is worse for late waves due to no ADS.

[@tremeschinion9420]

​@ubaidaqeel386Exec sword'a heavy hit nor reaper's heavy can be slowed down or sped up, so they bypass that. Besides, you get used to the slower heavy speed after like 3 attacks, not that big of a deal unless you have a 25% speed melee.

[@aydanmcleod7766]

Vagabonds nerf was A BIG HIT it used to heal TEN HP before but now 5, this in turn makes his heal much less ineffective Before: 3 dogtags was worth one full medkit After: 3 dogtags is worth 1 USE of a medkit Vagabond did not need that nerf 😭 He's alr so fragile so the ten HP made sense

[@tremeschinion9420]

You still get the ridiculous speed buff and free fodder meatgrinder (aka your katana) Wasnt vagabond's entire idea... to not get hit? 5hp per dogtag is more than enough to heal chip damage anyway.

[@aydanmcleod7766]

@@tremeschinion9420 True however getting hit is VERY punishing, so the ten HP was a good "just incase", awol besides its getting reworked

[@tremeschinion9420]

​@@aydanmcleod7766thats as the perk should be. And besides, healing still exist to compensate, you'll just have less medkits for evac i guess? If you dont find IFAKs and red stims the entire run

[@killstealer6000]

​@@aydanmcleod7766 I believe that vagabond's heal amount wasn't 10, but rather 7.

[@MoonBoomer]

@@killstealer6000it was 15 per tag +1 initial tag fee for each time you convert the tags. Honestly I’m okay with this nerf since I usually have about 20-30 tags that I don’t use in average and it hurts when I lose almost all of it to a sniper half way across the map that instantly shoots you when you turn a corner (It’s happened so many times for me). It’ll just impact the less than average skilled vagabonds the most honestly.

[@Markus-o1z]

As a zealot and apostle fan i am very happy now

[@Quantum.404]

In conclusion: Riskrunner is now fat

[@sophu3]

3:17 As a blitzers main, this it not fine.

[@DIO-hw4oe]

Yes Artillerist got buff

[@LcielweissPenid]

HELL YEAH

[@LcielweissPenid]

Kinda. Its a double edged sword but still. He'll yeah

[@NoSuchReason]

basically most of the perks got nerfed

[@ABlueThing]

Some good shafted (Vagabond and Tick spider) some good really good buffs (Berserker and Apostle) and Blitzer is now playable without people thinking you're trolling

[@debris9601]

@@ABlueThingblitzer was already playable if you didnt just lodge it at teammates 24/7,this update just takes the resistance and anti fracture away from it,lame rework honestly

[@ABlueThing]

@debris9601 Yeah i know, i could play Blitzer decently well, i think the ability to chuck bombs into the frontliners without them taking damage is worth the resistance, as for fracture that's just kinda annoying but for what Blitzer is he didn't really need it, I don't think it's that bad of a rework, specially when it gets rid of the only perk that could TK for whatever reason

[@debris9601]

@ the tk shouldve never been a thing to begin with,its just development being stingy about it for no valid reason,its a shame because blitzer could hold up even under 4 morale compared to almost every other class

[@ABlueThing]

@debris9601 he still can imo, fracture could get you killed, but 15% defense does almost nothing when you already have 4 morale as everything almost instantly kills you It's weird that Red gave him the ability to TK, i guess she probably just reused granade code and didn't bother cause, yeah

[@RevenantNeverDies]

what was the point on removing prophet's hp buff? I thought the whole point of the class was that you get small passive buffs to your survivability and in return salvage crafting becomes really unreliable? would have made more sense to make normal crafting have the penalty instead of removing 2 things that made the class unique 💔

[@rovyy8008]

Very nice video. Do you think you could explain the decaying winter damage formula and when running methodical is worth it?

[@obcd8919]

Funnily enough I did write like a couple pages on it, but testing the stuff with evidence takes time since no console perms rip. I will look at it eventually though but no guarantee at the time frame.

[@tremeschinion9420]

Melee buffs are always additive with each other Methodical is useless for Executioner (1.5 bounties doesnt help a whole lot). It fully nullifies the damage penalties of blitzer, tick, prophet, and Laz gets -5% Overall, you shouldnt run it. It kind of counters the damage debuff from being starved (-25%) though? Better traits exist tbh Purple stim +35% +10% per exec bounty -25% for being starved and dehydrated -15% for being starved +60% for zerk's calamity serum

[@rovyy8008]

@ useless for exe, yes, but it might be able to break damage thresholds for some tier 2 and 3 melees for them to one tap as berserker.

[@tremeschinion9420]

Okay well to be fair, it does allow you to oneshot a sledge with a maria while under zerk's serum, which is nice, and i can see some shitty melees being useful But like, thats only relevant for the early and maybe the midgame if youre unlucky. Once you get your crafted melee (usually exec sword), it doesnt matter that much.

[@thienbaoo7520]

nice to know

[@DaHeIis]

3:55 I'm pretty sure you can kill 3 enemies with 1 shot

[@obcd8919]

Thanks for fact checking me just checked in game again for it lol, glad people still double check info in the video

[@spectre7095]

So my boy arbiter barely got nerfed, good (literally just +35% melee to +30% melee)

[@DarknessDr]

Nice vid

[@fox7757]

Slight Vagabond nerf? More like a heavy nerf than anywhere near “Slight” cause that will make Vagabond players more cautious.

[@tremeschinion9420]

Making players play carefully with a perk that heavily rewards not taking damage with extra speed and free fodder kills? Dang

[@aydanmcleod7766]

I think Immolator got nerfed with the decrease His overheat bonus damage now is less, not his overheat gained when taking damage That's what I think tho so idk

[@ghostplay8521]

Wait blitz can't damage allies anymore? HOLY SHIT TIME TO SPEEDRUN THE CROSSLINK CHALLENGE

[@melon_stalker]

No more blitzer trolling..?

[@Comrade_Mao]

Blitzer main here Well, I don't know how to feel about the unability to do damage to teammates. I'm happy that I don't have to listen to all of these whines when I slighly damage and stun the teammates, but now I can't punish people for being toxic, duping or doing stupid things. Oh well, guess I can use impact grenades for it. Also the defense and fracture remove is sad cuz the blitzer was the most defensive second line and you could easily tank Yosef, but I'm okay with that. I'm glad this game still lives and gets updates. I believe they will add a new perk sooner or later. Good luck out there, agents

[@pavlo5551]

I feel like you're the reason blitzer got nerfed in the first place

[@Comrade_Mao]

@pavlo5551 Welp..blitzers always were boogymen in decaying winter and many newbies using them wrongfully ending up hurting the teammates. I was using blitzer to punish novices for stealing or wasting items, dupers and other bad types of players, not trying to ruin the game for normal people. Well I'm glad that they removed this feature, yet the blitzer can still hurt sovereign's ghosts, mindflayed scavs and himself, so...yeah, he can still be annoying in some parts

[@ily_havva]

5:15 each dogtag used to heal for 10 hp

[@obcd8919]

It was 10 back then (like 2 months ago) but it went through a silent nerf, and then imma be honest I dont even remember since these changes were probably in the test version or something, if you have proof it was 10 around version 0.7+ then it would be appreciated.

[@ily_havva]

was it? i unfortunately dont have any sort of evidence, but i 100% member they used to deal 10, because i was endlessly trying to do master of survival/matrix maniac, a couple of days before the 1.0.0 update. but then again, this is not a very solid proof of how vagabond healed 10 hp before this update.

[@frenchtoast.mp4]

didnt the drifter right click always heal 15 hp?

[@obcd8919]

Fun fact it actually healed for 10 back then, I went looking around and found in this guys video at least. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpvGoa15j7Z7gsUsi=i8Bx1qsSxCJ2zXhk&t=153

[@frenchtoast.mp4]

@ ohhhh… that makes a lot more sense. i remember it healing but didnt remember the healing value. thats nice.

[@seppetiu4794]

so they just nerfed prophet hard this update?

[@nicm.z9868]

prophet did not need the nerf honestly, it was balanced

[@catalax]

Whyd they nerf half the perks and add a bunch of random “buffs” that are negligible at best 😭

[@obcd8919]

This is a 2 part update, you'll see why soon...

[@tremeschinion9420]

​@@obcd8919no way, they're making Immo gain 120% overheat from its active next???

man blitzer and tickspider got dumpster'ed by the devs, at least artillerist has faster charge rate

Yea no more tk

Garbage update, the "devs" don't play their game so I'm not surprised.

[@randomguy8976]

0/10 ragebait, or just get good

[@Sasha_Prime]

​​@@randomguy8976 I'm already good lol. Some of the nerfs were held by a dev's grudge or most of them don't actually know how to play the game.

[@muhammadhisyammalika5975]

​@@Sasha_PrimeIm not trying to disagree with you here, but which change exactly highlighted the "devs grudge"? Like the blitzer suicide bomber thingy? Or something else? I havent played DW in a while, so sorry if this question seems absolute idiotic to you.
