Damage and armor nerf?

[PocketChicken]

So how much did they reduce damage and armor?
Can you still kill birds with one boomerang hit?
And are blow darts still worth making?
 

Thanks.

Damage is currently 10/17ths of the normal value. This sounds awkward, but normally punches deal 17 damage, and spears 34, so now they deal 10 and 20, respectively.

 

Armor hasn't been nerfed at all.

 

Boomerangs now deal 16 damage instead of 27.2, so they now require two hits to kill birds and rabbits.

 

Blow darts still deal full damage, though.

so boomerangs are useless to hunt birds with on multiplayer unless you are with someone else and time the boomerang hits right.... in normal don't starve i used boomerangs on birds when i was trying to farm feathers

That's correct. They might reduce the hp of bunnies and birds, I'm not sure they were intended to now take two hits.

I do hope they add an option to turn off the damage reduction, because if you're playing with only one or two other people, it's already pretty balanced with needing extra food and such.

I'm sure this nerf is obly a temporary feature.

Realistically small animals take double the hits with bigger creatures much more. Don't solo Tallbirds if you tank for example.

So two hits to kill a bird with a boomerang. Well that seriously reduces its usefulness.

There are people that tank in this game? *shudders* I prefer not to think about people doing that.

 

I did it once to kill the deerclops with wolfgang, just for fun, but seriously, nobody tanks, right?

Insane even if the meter says otherwise--some do.

But-but- it's so easy to not take damage when fighting. S+D and F (attack) are easily the most pressed keys on my keyboard

I think that weapon's durability should be little higher, if the damage nerf will stay.

Not in DST right now.

oh my. I wasn't even aware of this.

 

Well, tanking my be the best strategy in that case. I mean if the lag is really that bad.

I think the biggest issue with the nerfed boomerangs is the durability remains the same--half the damage means that you go through the weapon twice as fast. Maybe a durability buff would be helpful?
