I know I have to move on, but the fact that Wilson got zero changes still made me very sad. I wish klei would give him a nice re-balance as well. But oh well, I'm happy that at least Wormwood got something.

This is what I expected to see when I first gave it to a Pig, thank you!

[Antynomity]

Ay the bloom thing with bramble traps I suggested made it in! Also also, lil bug I've found, fertilizing yourself as wormwood (tested with growth formula) makes you invisible until you move again.

Before, there was no reason to do more than one consecutive punch with Weremoose because of the slow animation, now that you guys add a third attack where it's actually worth using, it's nerfed

The propaganda won out. Woodie's weremoose DPS was modest even with the smash. The DPS is arguably more stronger if you actively avoid doing the full sequence and instead just cancel jab 1 continuously.

Yep. Of course. The Woodie conspiracy continues. 

Like, think about it this way. Maxwell's DPS is so great, Dragonfly gets stunned by his raw damage. Woodie's max moose had no such luxury even when you were optimal in timing.

Nah. I disagree big time. The "Crazy" numbers with the smash were often modified with synergies such as Abigail's debuff and Warly's spices.

Propaganda with ABSOLUTELY no context such as this, I can't help but believe that this sort of media contributed with the max moose nerf.

Everything in this thumbnail is basically fake under solo circumstances.

That's why I hate "Influencers."

 

I swear, if this isn't fixed, I'll reveal something that is unbalanced that will make everyone mad, because it's legitimately more broken any Woodie's entire kit

^I won't reveal anything. I'm not going to ruin other people's fun just because mine was ruined.

Ouch oof body items. At this point why not make separate slot for backpack and other body items? People opt for storage 90% time and even if they use armor it only requires to get the armor out of the backpack and leave the backpack on the ground until you're done fighting with body armor. Wouldn't change much in terms of armor but would finally breathe life into summer frest and puffy vest.

I really hope they revert that, the DPS wasn't crazy but it was good enough to be very considerable especially if you didn't want to mass prep armour and weapons for one fight when you could just get a few trailmixes, 2 totems and kill dfly (with skill, don't underestimate enraged dfly, she's deadly but still doable with good timing)

Sorry what does this mean?

 

[Arcwell]

Changes not mentioned in patch notes:

• Saladmander followers are now limit to 2 (previously 3)
• Carrat followers are now limited to 4 (previously no limit)
• Bulbous lightbug followers are now limited to 6 (previously no limit, I think)
• Saladmander followers now have 400 hp (down from 900)
• Attacking Wormwood's followers now dismisses them and leaves their respective crop behind (this wasn't a thing before, right?)

Might be more, that's just what I've found so far.

I think the idea of rewarding kitting to get the buff is amazing, but the fact that it only lasts 3 seconds makes it drop off in plenty of occoasions. I think it would be an incredible incentive if the buff would stay up as long as you never get hit and dont get out of combat. This way players who constantly kit without getting hit can get rewarded with extra damage.

I think this is the only wrong move of this incredible hotfix patch. Why do Woodie mains should do less damage from the combo attack when you can't combo if you get hit, and if have to kite before you are able to do the 3rd attack you loose the combo attack? On top of that the damage of the 3rd attack was totally okay considering that woodie in Weremoose form does not get to use any other weapons, being range or utility, so being able to do extra damage on a combo attack, if the person doesnt get hit, was a good reward. TLDR: i dont see the point of this nerf.

Keep up the incredible work, i've been having an absolute blast playing this patch, except feeling very sorry that my wormwood got the shorthand of the stick but hopefully these changes, that i have yet to test, are going to change that.

Keep rocking Klei, your little **** talker,

Glermz.
