Soeren Kamper classes, Imperial Agent, Scoundrel, smugler

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

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

Operative
Concealment

  • Acid Blade’s damage has been reduced by 27.78%
  • Collateral Strike’s damage has been reduced by 27.68%

Scoundrel
Scrapper

  • Flechette Round’s damage has been reduced by 27.78%
  • Flying Fists’ damage has been reduced by 27.68%

DevNotes: The Concealment / Scrapper discipline was dealing more DPS than intended, so we made a couple changes to shrink it down a bit. These changes allow the Concealment Operative / Scrapper Scoundrel to still deal decent burst damage while having their sustained damage output brought in line with the DPS target.
