Monster damage seems a little high

[XLVI_carpo]

There were adjustments made to difficulty scaling that make the monos harder at baseline. The modifiers don’t scale that hard now in exchange.

Endgame Balance

Aims

• Mitigate the feeling that early Monolith is significantly easier than Chapter 8/9.
• Fix enemies from Chapter 7 and beyond being notably more dangerous in endgame than other enemies.
• Shift power away from echo mods and towards base monster power and core corruption scaling.
• Fix Fall of the Outcasts and other early timelines being easier to farm when empowered than other timelines due to slower mod scaling and lower mod duration.

Changes

• Monsters receive a greater bonus to health and damage from level 40 onwards:
  • At level 60 monsters have 3.2% more health and 6.2% more damage.
  • At level 80 monsters have 3.8% more health and 5.1% more damage.
  • At level 100 monsters have 3.7% more health and 6.0% more damage.
• Chapter 7, 8, and 9 monsters have had their base health and damage reduced so that the above change has a net zero effect on them during the campaign.
  • In endgame they will be slightly stronger than before, but not to nearly the same extent as enemies from earlier chapters.
• Echoes now roll mods with durations of 3 to 6 at maximum (from 5 to 8).
• Echo mod power now scales much more slowly with corruption.
• Echo mod power now scales slightly more slowly with distance from the origin.
• Echo mod duration and power scaling is now the same across all timelines at mid to high corruption.
• The bonuses corruption grants to monster damage, monster health, experience gain, and increased rarity now scale more linearly with corruption:
  • At corruption 100 and below there is no change.
  • At corruption 200 these bonuses are now 100% (from 95%).
  • At corruption 400 these bonuses are now 190% (from 166%).
  • At corruption 800 these bonuses are now 333% (from 270%).
