So I've seen some mixed reports that Swamp's Ability/Strength damage adjustments from 1.07 + the 1.08 special damage changes may have resulted in slight nerfs to his overall damage. I've tested his pre-patch damage vs the current damage and it appears that these are rough approximates of the damage changes. Note that % damage is of total health:
-Raw Green Thumb (3) does about 1% less damage.
-Combos into Green Thumb (3) do about 0.1-0.2% less damage (lol).
-Combos into Vines do about 1% more damage.
Overall, the changes are pretty insignificant and mean nothing for his gameplan. Ending in vines has always been his best damage and that hasn't changed. Raw Green Thumb doing slightly less damage doesn't really mean much and it's hard to quantify more than this without comparing combo footage of then vs now.
Don't let someone tell you he got buffed or nerfed in any noticeable way. He's pretty much the same.
