March 23, 2024 4 minutes

Hey there, adventurers! We have some exciting news for you regarding the latest hotfixes in the world of Plunderstorm. Today, we'll be discussing the changes that have been made to certain spells and abilities, including the nerf to Fire Whirl and Stormproof Sloop. So grab your gear and let's dive right in!

Fire Whirl Damage Nerf

One of the major hotfixes that have been implemented is a nerf to the damage output of Fire Whirl. This powerful spell has seen a reduction in damage across all ranks. Let's take a look at the specifics:

Rank 1 Rank 2 Rank 3 Rank 4
Damage Reduced by 23.3% Reduced by 21.4% Reduced by 21.4% Reduced by 21.8%
AP per Tick 0.0575 (was 0.074) 0.0605 (was 0.077) 0.0638 (was 0.081) 0.0665 (was 0.085)

As you can see, Fire Whirl's damage has been significantly reduced in order to bring it more in line with other abilities in the game. While it still retains its status as the highest damage per cast spell, it is no longer an overwhelming force on the battlefield.

Stormproof Sloop Duration Nerf

In addition to the Fire Whirl nerf, another change that has been made is to Stormproof Sloop's duration. Previously lasting for 60 seconds, it now only lasts for 40 seconds. This adjustment aims to balance out the spell and create a more fair playing field for all players.

Storm Winds Immunity

A notable change has also been made to Storm Winds. This spell now pierces immunities, allowing it to bypass certain defensive abilities and deal damage directly to the target. This change adds an exciting new dynamic to gameplay and encourages players to develop new strategies.

Other Changes and Updates

As always, the Plunderstorm team is dedicated to providing the best gaming experience possible. In addition to the spell adjustments mentioned above, several other changes have been implemented:

  • Players are now immune to knockbacks when standing near Da’kash Grimledger in the preparation area. This change improves the overall flow of gameplay and prevents unnecessary disruptions during crucial moments.
  • Outfits are now retained between matches. This quality of life improvement eliminates the need for players to constantly re-equip their preferred gear and ensures a smoother transition between battles.
