Eric Musco just updated the community about the upcoming changes for Concealment and Scrapper coming in Game Update 5.4.

Note: All changes below are currently in development and are subject to change before being released.

Marauder
Carnage

  • Reduced the critical strike damage bonus granted by Sever from 15% to 10%
  • Reduced the damage bonus to Ataru Form attacks granted by Ataru Mastery from 5% to 3%

Sentinel
Combat

  • Reduced the critical strike damage bonus granted by Saber Storm from 15% to 10%
  • Reduced the damage bonus to Ataru Form attacks granted by Ataru Mastery from 5% to 3%

DevNotes: The Carnage/ Combat discipline was overperforming, so we reduced the effectiveness of two key passives to bring their DPS back in line with the target.
