Skill Balance

Quote

The Mechanician rework took longer than expected to land. A large part of the delay came from revisiting older abilities that had numerous internal interactions, which made updating the kit more complex than anticipated. With this rework, we focused on addressing a few key issues:

Lack of damage reduction, which left him vulnerable to high burst damage, as the absorption scaling wasn’t keeping up with the rest of the game.

Significant fragility when using two-handed items, due to shield requirements tied to certain buffs.

Large gap between minimum and maximum attack power, resulting in unpredictable damage output (especially when critical hits were involved).

While tackling these problems, we wanted to maintain the Mechanician’s core identity and preserve what made his gameplay unique. To achieve that, we brought the “While Healthy” modifier, originally introduced for Obliterate, into the base kit. This gives Mechanician new ways to either increase damage or mitigate incoming damage when he is at high HP.

This update establishes a stronger foundation for the class. Some numbers may still need refinement, and we’ll be relying on your feedback to fine-tune the rework moving forward.

Elemental resistance has become an increasingly important stat, and the previous values of Fire Attribute made it far too easy for players to hit the cap with minimal investment.

We’ve also made some changes to Boost Health to ensure Fighter's high-risk gameplay feels more intentional and less punishing.

We’re glad to see Pikeman performing well in HC, especially thanks to his ability to freeze enemies. However, his AoE damage hasn’t been keeping pace with expectations, so we’ve increased the power of his AoE skills.

The Ice attribute has also received the same adjustments previously applied to the Fire attribute to ensure consistency, but we buffed his defensive skills a bit as a slight compensation.

Quote

Playing Archer solo isn’t easy, especially with such limited tools to keep enemies at a distance. To help address this, we’ve completely reworked Stun Arrow. It now applies a new negative status called "Entangling", which reduces enemy movement speed (the new Stun Arrow becomes even more effective when used with Leap Shot).

That’s not all, Archer has also received buffs to several of her other offensive abilities to further support her solo performance. We also wanted to experiment some PvP changes, let's see if Avalanche can become a viable finisher now.

Wind Arrow

(PVE) Damage boost increased from 121% to 133%;
(PVP) Damage boost increased from 100% to 121%.

Perfect Aim

(PVE) Damage boost increased from 155% to 218%;

Quote

We transferred some of the evasion from Alas to Blade Mastery, and added a few extra evasion points to compensate for the defensive buffs given to other melee classes. We also removed the RNG from AoE skills. Although all of our internal testing indicates the Assassin is performing well in PvE, the community feedback has suggested otherwise. We'll see if these new changes produce more positive results.

Shaman’s mana consumption was significantly lower than that of other classes, so we’ve increased the cost of several abilities to bring it in line with the rest of the roster.
