To sum up: Annihilation getting a buff either way, but testing will need to be done to confirm how much of a buff this really is Lightning getting 100% uptime on Tactical now and slightly more burst on their most damaging ability which imo smooths out dps for pve and makes it actually preferable over madness in a lot of things now. Madness getting pvp nerfs, frankly. The slow nerf doesn’t matter, it’ll still happen, and the life steal change considering the amount it already has doesn’t change much but reduces survivability in pvp slightly Lethality getting a *slight* damage nerf with the top change and the bottom change is fixing a bug that’s been in the game since the tactical existed but no one really noticed. Arsenal getting buff because more armor pen. In theory the implant change doesn’t do anything except take rng out as a factor but in practice it might completely fuck over IO. AP is getting a massive buff tbh. The heat management will now be easier which means more Mag blasts vs rapid shots fillers, but more importantly; AP now has a tactical. One that makes basically all of your abilities do up to 20% more damage constantly. That’s absolutely nuts. I think they’ll change this tbh from 5% down to maybe 2% before it goes live.
This isn't the actual 7.3 patch notes. This is for the PTS that will be available prior 7.3 so we can try out changes to the classes they want to bring with everything else in 7.3. Our first real look into 7.3 will be on May 3rd when they do a livestream announcing the major details of 7.3.
