This patch came to the official servers a lot faster than I thought haha. Anyways, this patch contains skill changes to every job (if I looked correctly), various system changes by the Coordinator, and the 2015 World Tour event!

There were additional skill changes to the Test World patch so look closely!

Skill Changes

With our summer Reboot update, we did some balancing which affected almost every job. This balancing’s biggest goal was to reduce the gaps between all jobs. Rather than having certain jobs be stronger than others, we want the differences to be about battle patterns and overall fun. However, it was not possible to fulfill all of our goals in one balancing.

Our development team have received new ideas and have also carefully reviewed user opinions so that we can try again to progress on character balancing. Without making too drastic changes, we hope to gradually balance jobs, focusing on the following:

Elemental resistance reduction skill adjustments Depending on the content, there were extreme differences between jobs, so elemental resistance reduction skills will be adjusted. Jobs with elemental resistance reduction skills will instead have their final damage increased so that the large disparity between overall job performance is removed.

Instant kill effect removal Depending on the content, jobs could kill monsters without their equipment levels mattering, so the instant kill effects will be removed and the skills will only use percent damage.

Low battle efficiency jobs’ boost and high jobs’ reduction Adjustments will be made based on a job’s special characteristics without impacting overall fun. Jobs with lower advancements that have difficulty hunting will be adjusted as well.

Utility ability adjustments Jobs with excessive utility abilities will be adjusted.

Skill intuitiveness improvements Skills which give invincibility will now show their duration in the buff icon. Passive final damage boosts will no longer show up in the stat window’s skill attack (damage range). Elemental resistance reduction skills have been changed. This will allow us to add new features which will complement performance.



NOTE: I used the skill change data from Insoya, but their formatting is not the greatest so I may have missed some or made a mistake. If you do check it over and see something I have wrong, please let me know so I can fix it as soon as possible!

Because Reincarnation is an important part of Dark Knight’s combat pattern, the revival skill was not affected in the previous balance patch. However, it is very powerful as with its short cooldown, it is almost impossible to die, so we will be adjusting them to tone down their power slightly.
