Right now we think that there’s some room for balance related improvements when it comes to items that grant players Physical damage. We don’t want to make any rash, temporary decisions but to look into the root cause of the problem. This will require us to revisit all the different skulls, items and synergies. We ask and thank you in advance for your patience on this as we try to better balance the overall game experience.

That being said, we’ll do our best to improve the game and system so that you will have a ton of fun, no matter what damage type you go for.
