Ewok stealth nerf? (Damage Change Discussion)

Chief Chirpa and Ewok Elder are doing much less damage on their basic attacks now. Chirpa particularly... mine is critting for 4.5-5k, whereas he used to crit for 7.5-8k. I suspect it is because they changed the primary stat for them. It also looks like they changed the actual stats ... the current Strength level is not as high as the previous Intelligence level was.

The damage decrease is quite significant! Why on earth would the devs do this? It's not like the ewoks were doing too much damage to begin with! And the benefits from the "faction pass" would not have been overpowered if they devs have left the stats and basic damage alone!

*sigh*

Anyone else seeing the same thing? I don't suppose we could get a response on why this was done from the devs. What on earth was the reasoning behind *decreasing* ewok damage?

  • I bet they nerfed their damage output to announce the omg fantastic reworked omega ability of chirpa (-50% damage penalty) without making them (too) powerful ... Also his leader (assist calls on specials) and scouts special (assist call) ... just a guess ;)

    Scout has his assist but what ewok can it call to do any real damage?


    Wicket, Logray, and Paploo.

    That's what everyone is leaving out as they speculate on the changes. They have no idea what these guys are going to do. Who knows, maybe if they still hit harder they'd be massively OP in the end.

    I'll take a wait and see approach.
  • It could have something to do with the three new ewoks. I'd like to believe that's the case as opposed to just nerfing an already middling faction, but...
