ProviTweaks

Some tweaks to Echo of Providence.

Server-Side and Vanilla-Compatible.

Healthbars on Wurms and Phase 4 might look a bit weird for clients without the mod.

Damage Buffs

Providence's moveset is interesting to fight, but the punishment for getting hit is a bit too low. But at the same time, the reason he feels good to fight is because he doesn't randomly oneshot you like a lot of other final bosses do.

Goal with these buffs is to make getting hit hurt a bit more, while still keeping him as a boss that doesn't really use cheap oneshots.

Numbers may need tuning, leave feedback if he's feeling too oneshotty, or if he could use further buffs!

• Shadow Clones: Base Damage 9 -> 11

  • Providence has 15 Base Damage

• Sword Swipe: 400% -> 500%

• Downslam: 600% -> 700%

• Downslam Spikes: 300% -> 350%

• Malachite Energy Balls: 150% -> 200%

  • For Providence, homing has been increased from 30 degrees/s -> 40 degrees/s, to match the value used for the Wurms.

• Vertical Lasor Pillars: 250%/s -> 500%/s

  • Noticed that you can afford to stand inside these for way too long, so it's getting a big buff.

• Channel Mines: 500% -> 800%

  • This attack should be considered Providence's equivalent of the Pizza Cutter, and should have damage to match.

Nerfs

• Wurm HP reduced from 480 -> 400
• Phase 4 HP reduced from 1200 -> 1000 to make it a bit more lenient towards weak builds that don't pass the DPS check.
• Phase 4 sucker damage aura nerfed from 40%hp/s -> 20%hp/s

Other Changes

• Added 50% Freeze Resist to match Mithrix.
• Removed Phase skipping. Fight the boss properly.
