A new V Rising update addresses complaints around balancing with a ton of substantial nerfs and buffs.

As detailed over on Steam (opens in new tab), the update adds a couple of handy new features and a bunch of bug fixes, but the bulk of the changes are balancing updates. All in all, the update shakes up V Rising's meta in some pretty major ways, and hopefully it makes more folks happy than upset.

Veil of Bones' initial projectile damage has been increased from 25% all the way to 75%, while its max bounces have been reduced from 4 to 3. Furthermore, Veil of Bones' bounces will now reduce the damage of the next bounce by 25%. 

A lot of abilities have been tweaked with both nerfs and buffs, like Spectral Wolf, which deals 125% damage now (up from 100%) but has a one second longer cooldown. Other abilities have been fully nerfed, like Chaos Volley, whose projectile damage has been reduced from 125% to 110% and whose cooldown has been increased from 7 seconds to 8 seconds. Meanwhile, the Chaos ability tree has been hit with a number of full-on nerfs.

Over on the weapons side, the Spear's 'A Thousand Spears' move has had its damage nerfed from 30% to 25%. The Harpoon's cast time has been reduced from 0.8 seconds to 0.7 seconds, and its damage has been increased from 70% to 90%. The Mace
