◆Class Changes

Going forward damage coefficient will be referred to as potency.

The balance team and I have been hard at work cataloguing, balancing and testing classes in every scenario. With Brawler's release, this is a good time for us to make sweeping changes to bring everything in line with each other. Just because your class wasn't changed this week, doesn't mean it won't be.

Holy Sword

Developers' Note: Holy Holy Sword was easily outshined by its Ice counterpart, so these buffs are intended to help bring the left and right spec in line with each other. Also, as an added quality of life, we have decided to speed up Ice Holy Sword's energy to smooth out rotation, with a compensation nerf to not allow it to be out of control Weapon Spec

• Executioner's Will
  • Divine Bursts now increases CRIT DMG by 10% (was only Max CRIT DMG by 10%)

Skill Changes

• Demon Exterminator (Divine Energy Burst)
  • Now grants a buff that increases Smiter's Edge skill damage by 15% for 10 seconds
• Smiter's Edge (Divine Energy Burst)
  • Potency is now 300 (was 285)
• Punitive Imprisonment
  • Now grants 500 divine energy even outside of Divine Energy Burst
• Frost Rupture (Divine Energy Burst, Ice Crusader)
  • Potency is now 290 (was 300)

Ranger

Skill Changes Developers' Note: With the charging effects being fixed, Holy Ranger was doing extreme DPS. While this may look like a nerf, it's actually a buff since Piercing Prism will do 460 potency fully charged while before it never did more than 320. The same applies with dimensional shot.

• Piercing Prism
  • Potency is now 230 (was 320)
  • Charging now increases damage by 100% (was 55%)
• Dimensional Shot
  • Potency coefficient is now 85 (was 100)

Ninja

Skill Changes

• Shadow Pool

Developers' Note: The way the DMG scaled on Shadow Pool wasnt the usual potency, it was instead a mixture of level scaling, DMG stat and a variance factor. This is an experimental buff, with more changes to come to Ninja very soon.

• Removed the potency variance factor
• Damage now scales with 75% DMG and 75 level scaling

Grenadier

Developers' Note: These buffs are aimed at making the right spec viable. General number increases. Weapon Spec

• Precision Assembly
  • Stacks of Positional Bombardment now increase damage of Grenadier skills by 15% per stack (was 11%)

Skill Changes

• Heavy Destroyer
  • Now grants +15% Damage Dealt (was 5%)
• Ultimate Destruction
  • Potency has been increased to 260 (was 130)
  • Now grants +500 PEN (was 50)
• Cannon Salvo
  • No longer stuns
• Icy Grenade
  • Now stuns instead of immobilizing

Ronin

Developers' Note: Ronin was very undertuned, even at an optimal rotation it would not deal good damage. Weapon Spec

• Technique: Dancing Blade
  • Improvisation - Sword Dance debuff that increases target's damage taken by Tachi skills, now stacks up 3 times

Skill Changes

• Iaido
  • No longer a chargable skill
  • Potency has been changed to 300 (was 200, the added potency is 75% of what the full charge used to be)
  • GCD is now .6s (was .9s)
• Improvisation - Sword Dance
  • Now increases damage of Swallow Reversal and Brutal Dragon Flash by 3%, stacking up to 5 times
