changedThe biggest change is to Fragile. Fragile gets too much mileage in mid- and late-game - for both the player and enemies - so its damage multiplier is getting reduced from 50% to 30%. This is not as big of a nerf as it seems, however: damage numbers get rounded up, so Fragile is still just as effective with multi-hit effects such as pushes, or on weapons that have augments like Barbs on them (they have their damage increased from 1 to 2 - no change between 30% and 50%).
