New Cartel Market and Deco Images
Companion Changes
- HK-51's DPS abilities now have their damage displayed in the tooltip.
- Healing output from all companions has been significantly reduced. Probably 50% reduction but I'm not a theory crafter, co-efficient changes are available in the Changed Abilities XML file for theory crafters. Treek is the exception here and a few of her healing abilities got buffed. Some heals have got spread out into more ticks, to reduce the burst healing but maintain sustained.
- Self healing for tank companions has been significantly reduced.
- The type of gifts that companions like has been significantly altered. All companions now "love" at least one type of gift. Our database has been updated to show these changes. Find your companion here and click on the Gift Reactions tab.
Raid Mechanic changes
This is not a complete list, more may have changed.
- The repair droids in Torque now taunt any Shoots Laser droids every second.
- The healing debuffs on Commanders in TOS has been upped. The smaller one now reduces healing by 15% per stack, up from 10%. The larger one now reduces healing by 25% per stack up from 20%.
- The Mind Traps in the Soa encounter can now kill you through any immunities you have up, such as bubble.
- Changes have been made to the puzzle boss in KP but not sure what the changes actually do.
- Checks have been added to several bosses and trash mobs throughout several different raids to stop them pulling people, or applying mechanics to out of range or dead players.
