Update 0.9.2.0 introduces a new melee weapon to Striving for Light: Survival. The Bear Caller is the very first melee weapon that can summon companions. Futhermore this update enables melee constructs to trigger double hit which should make them a more valid build choice.
New Melee Weapon: Bear Caller
Instead of attacking this weapon will call a mighty bear that attacks for you. The best thing about the bear attacks is that they count as player melee attacks and not only scale with your melee damage they also trigger all melee on attack and on hit effects just like your attacks do.
And this is how the bear looks in action:
Together with this new melee weapon a new in game achievement has been added to unlock the new weapon.
Improvements
- Melee constructs can now trigger double hit. This should make melee constructs a viable build choice.
- Massively improved companion performance (v.0.9.2.0a)
Balancing
- To compensate for the huge damage buff of melee constructs their attack speed has been lowered to 1.5/s (was 1/s) and the skill now has a -25 % attack speed malus. (v.0.9.2.0b)
Bugfixes
- Fixed melee construct stopping to attack when first targeted enemy leaves attack area (v.0.9.2.0 c)
- Fixed melee construct attack not applying skill stacks correctly (v.0.9.2.0 c)
- Fixed double hit not applying skill stacks correctly (v.0.9.2.0 c)
