Summary0006426: Clockwork probes rebalance
DescriptionAt the moment, clockwork probes are annoying to fight. They simply have too much health. If reducing their health significantly makes them too easy, they may need to be buffed in some other way.

Personally I think their health levels are fine, they are supposed to be an "advanced" enemy, in this case it just encourages you to use some high damage spells.

Rather if i was trying to use fireball et al to combat them then yes I would probably agree that they have too high health, but when on Hero with the same tier high-damage piercing spells you can defeat a group in under 10 shots that's about right.

Now a possibility is that they should be made to spawn less often to balance out the difficulty, which I wouldn't disagree with, In the long run I have died to clockwork probes more than anything else in the game.

I like them tough, personally.

Thanks!

** Clockwork Probe base health dropped from 10,000 to 6000. This means they are still really tough, but each one isn't half of a miniboss in terms of health (which was a bit over the top).
