Behemoth is now released to all players
After some major tune ups, Behemoth (Bob) is now available for all players in Stage 2.
Quick run down of his changes below:
-New Passive: Living Fortress
-Behemoth will gain stacks of damage resistance after a certain damage threshold.
-Each stack lasts for a short time. The main goal of this is to block burst damage during combat.
-As Behemoth gains stacks, his armor will start glowing brighter to inform players he is taking less damage.
Current tuning:
-+75 Direct Damage to apply a stack.
-4% Damage Reduction applied per stack.
-Stacks will expire after 4 seconds.
-Stacks max out at 10.
-Traversal: Rocky Roll
Maneuverability has been increased dramatically to give Bob more control.
-No longer blocked by wildlife.
-Can quickly change directions while in the roll.
-Gravity has also been increased while inside the roll.
-No longer grants 50% damage reduction while inside the roll.
Rockwall
-The ability has undergone a complete code refactor to assure it will properly work when cast near Hunters.
-Slabs will always spawn at the cursor’s location when casted.
-Minimum cast range was decreased to allow closer casts of the Rockwall.
Fissure
-Improved consistency when cast near cliffs and hills.
Lavabomb
-Behemoth is now able to aim the ability until it is casted.
(Similar to how Goliath can aim rock throw)
Tongue Grab
-Improved overall consistency with the ability.
-Targets within the visual effect will be grabbed unless a major portion of the target is blocked by geometry.
-Visual effect will light up when a viable target is inside the effect radius.
Keep in mind Tongue grab has a travel time.
Tutorials are now mandatory again
If you have not played a tutorial, this is now forced before playing a multiplayer match.
Note: If you have not played a Co-op vs AI match there is now a 3,000 Silver Key reward for completing one match in Co-op vs AI.
