Dark Envoy recently received a major update 1.2, introducing a variety of changes to the game. The changes serve to make Dark Envoy a more tactical and challenging title. Players can enjoy reduced jankiness in combat, major rebalance, greatly improved animations, and much more. Another big change landed for the previously not very popular Sharpshooter specialization.
The team from Event Horizon outlined the changes in a separate blog post. The Sharpshooter specialization focused on dealing bursts of high damage to single enemies. However, despite its high damage potential, it lacked certain utility and versatility compared to other classes. For this reason, the devs introduced significant changes to Sharpshooters’ skillset. Most changes revolve around Scouting Drone, Execution, and Deadly Shot abilities, providing the spec with extra AoE potential.
- Scouting Drone – Sends an untargettable scouting drone in the target direction. The drone travels for 10 s, bouncing off walls and dropping explosive charges along its path. Each explosive deals X fire (+Y) in a 3 m radius and inflicts Burn: 10 s. The drone reveals a 10 m area around it and inflicts Marked: 10 s on spotted enemies.
- Execution – Launches a powerful blast at the target enemy, dealing X (+Y)Damage and inflicting Shaken 20 s. Bounces off to other nearby enemies, as long as there is a valid target within 5 m of the last enemy hit (can target each enemy only once).
- Deadly Shot – Strikes target enemy with a well aimed shot, dealing 150% Weapon Damage + X (+Y) Damage and additional Z Damage for each 1% of target’s missing HP. Status Synergy: If target is Vulnerable, ignores 20% Armor. If target is Shaken, ignores 20% Armor.
