Albion Online Rolls Out Wild Blood Patch 2 Featuring Another Big Combat Balance

Shapeshifter Staff weapon line.

“Distortion is the baseline damage spell for Shapeshifter Weapons, which alone offers very high damage. This has therefore been reduced to limit Shapeshiters’ damage potential in human form,” developer Sandbox Interactive explains. “The Runestone Golem could feel quite oppressive and hard to counter due to its long uptime. To mitigate this, its transformation duration has been reduced and its Shift Charge consumption speed increased.”

Awakened Item scaling in Corrupted Dungeons and Hellgates has also been significantly tuned down along with the bleed effect for axes. The update isn’t all about nerfs though as Axes themselves have been buffed alongside bows to increase the long-range weapons effectiveness in large-scale battles.

The update also introduced favorite food overhead icons for farm animals, new controller customization options, and various mobile improvements. More information can be found in the full patch notes on the Albion Online official site.
