Wave 4 Balances:
Many abilities were altered to reduce lag until the combat engine can be optimized to allow for multiple effects within an effect efficiently.
Ice Barrage
-The haste component was removed from the effect. (Mostly to reduce lag but also to limit the amount of damage output from the ability without help from other abilities.)
-Now only applies ice weakness and the amount is increased to 30% from 20%. (because most builds using this ability didn't include other elemental attacks anyway so the added effects were only causing more lag)
-range set to melee (... to require players to do more than just spam the one button and allow for opponents lacking ...of Ice in their build to still be able to fight against this strong power.)
...of the physical
-...of the physical (free) has had it's damage reduction reduced to 90 which will allow 10% of physical damage to still effect the target. The energy regeneration effect has been removed.
-...of the physical (Smash Coin) has had it's damage reduction reduced to 90 which will allow for 10% of the physical damage to still effect the target. The energy regeneration effect has been halved.
-"absorbing physical" changed to "negating physical"
Pony charge
-Pony charge effect has been updated to reduce lag created by multiple resist effects. Cool-down has been increased to 30 seconds, up from 24 seconds. (Cool-down increased to encourage more strategic timing of this ability's use rather than hastened 'on cool-down' use.)
