Changelog 1.45
# General
- FP now automatically regenerates at a rate of 2 FP per second. Wielding a Spell Tool grants additional FP per second, differing based on the spell tool.
- Outcast now starts with Heretic's Staff and Deep Barb, Dark Touch and Nibble as spells.
- Profane Ascetic has been removed. It is troublesome to balance challenges and rewards around the ability to instantly enter NG+, as such an ability is ripe for exploits.
# Covenants
- Company of Champions no longer affects absorption. Target priority increased to 0.5. It now causes additional enemies to appear in levels (NG+ and CoC only enemies).
# Weapons
- Reduced the damage of the Staff of Serpents inline with the rest of the Staff category.
- Increased base damage of Daggers by 5
- Decreased base damage of Straight Swords by 5 to 10
- Many weapons no longer use the Titanite path for reinforcement..
- The hybrid weapon/spell tools can no longer be infused.
- Adjusted requirements for many weapons.
# Infusions
- Infusions are now a tool for changing a weapon into one suitable for different builds, but at a cost. This means all infusions are worse damage-wise than the uninfused weapon. - However, all infusions provide a utility in some form, such as a passive or on hit effect.
- This change is to make infusions tools, rather than upgrades for weapons. This gives value back to weapons that already have the effects of infusions (i.e. Moonlight Greatsword) since they suffer no damage reduction for their form, but retains the option of changing weapons to better suit a build, just now it comes with the downside of slightly reduced damage.
- Removed Heavy, Light and Refined infusions.
- Renamed Cursed infusion as Lethal.
- Changed Lethal infusion: decreases base damage by 5%, increases Critical by +20.
- Changed Raw infusion: no longer reduces requirements.
- Changed Poison Infusion: reduces base damage by 5%.
- Changed Blood Infusion: reduces base damage by 5%.
- Changed Frost Infusion: reduces base damage by 5%.
- Changed the other infusions (Magic, Fire, Lightning, Dark, Lucky, Enchanted and Holy) to now provide the utility of their damage type or scaling source but with a 5% reduction in damage.
