All the balance changes that have happened so far to Hornet's kit.

Numbers will be at max needle/crafting kit upgrade. This will be up to the newest beta.

-Crests:

Hunter's focus damage bonus increased: 25%->30%, 40%->50%. The damage buff it provides to the clawline was reduced to be in-line with the other needle attacks.

Wanderer's needle strike damage slightly reduced: 65->60.

Witch's needle strikes's damage slightly reduced: 102->90.

Beast's needle strike damage during fury increased: 65->79. Its attacks now pierce during fury.

Architect's needle strike damage heavily reduced: 91->65.

Shaman's needle strike damage slightly increased: 42->48. Shaman's silk skill damage bonus reduced: 50%->40%.

Needle strikes now grant 1 silk, and the hunter's needle strike grants 2 silk.

-Silk skills:

Thread storm: Deals 75% of your needle damage 5 times when normally cast, and 33% of your needle damage 6 times when extended->Deals 75% of your needle damage 4 times to an enemy first, then the remaining hits, whether while extended or unextended, will deal heavily reduced damage to that enemy.

Total damage: Unextentended: 80->67, Extended: 122->76 (the damage reduction on the remaining hits seems to be lower now in the new beta, so these numbers should be higher to those playing on it. I'll update it when I figure out what the new numbers are!)

Rune rage: Updated its scaling to match the rest of the silk skills. It now scales better with Shaman crest and volt filament, but this is a nerf across all stages.

Damage on the first rune: 54->37 (The damage of the rest of the runes scales based on the first one. Once again, this got changed in the new beta, so the numbers should be higher than this, I'll update it when I figure the numbers out!)

Cross stitch: Damage increased from 0.6x needle damage 4 times to 0.75x needle damage 4 times. Total damage: 52->64.

Sharp dart: Damage increased from 2x needle damage + 3 hits of 0.25x needle damage to 2.75x needle damage + 3 hits of 0.25x needle damage. Total damage: 57->73.

-Red tools:

Damage bonus from crafting kits reduced: 70%->60% (At max upgrades: 280% damage bonus->240% damage bonus).

Cogflies: Amount of hits required to break them reduced: 6 hits->5 hits. They now don't restore their hit count between rooms.

Conchcutter: Now breaks after 6 hits.

Cogwork wheel: Max capacity reduced from 16->10.

Pimpillo: Max capacity increased from 6->8.

Tacks: The maximum number of tacks that can be on the ground at a time reduced: 5->4.

Flintslate: Increases needle damage by 50% rather than providing +11 flat damage (effectively the same thing most of the time, but it nerfs the interaction with multi-hit needle strikes).

*Flea brew: Attack speed buffs seem to have gotten changed *though I am not sure about this one exactly so take it with a grain of salt): Wanderer: 35%->20%. Witch: 15%->20%. Hunter: 15%->25%. Beast: 25%. Reaper: 35%->25%. Architect: 25%->33%.

-Blue tools:

Wreath of purity durability increased (I am not sure by how much).

Multibinder: Now removes maggots before also healing 2 masks instead of only removing maggots.

Offensive blue tools now scale with crafting kits:

Sawtooth circlet: 13+1->27+1.

Warding bell: 9->31.

Wispfire lantern: 10->17.

Claw mirror: 35->47, claw mirrors: 66->67.

Yeah that's about it. I hope this was helpful! If I forgot something or got something wrong please tell me and I'll correct it right away!
