In April, Titan Quest II received a major update that added a summoning mechanic to the game, as well as new items. The game's creators studied the statistics and decided to make some balance changes.
The developers noticed that the passive playstyle with the summoning mechanic was not as effective as the active one. Therefore, they decided to add new modifiers that would suit players who prefer a passive style. For example, Frenzied appeared — the summoned creature will deal more damage and its speed will increase, but its health pool will be reduced.
In addition, the developers adjusted the balance for some summoned creatures. For example, the Core Dweller was nerfed — it was considered too powerful.
Wisps and Automaton received buffs — their stats, including damage, were increased.
The drop rate of relics was slightly increased. The developers also fixed some bugs with chests in the open world and bugs related to quests and the game interface.
