  • Class Balance [Patch 10.2.1.1000] & Bard

    Quote from melodic

    Well, yeah...why not? is it because healer players are not as skilled as dps players hence wouldnt be able to heal endcontent anymore if it were progressively harder? :rolleyes:

    Or is it because people responsible for balancing damage taken/healing done have no idea how to do it?

    Most basic example to explain reason would be; healer balance is not something like "healing is still possible/easy even if we reduce heal amount by X%" because it is not for 90% of healers in our player base.


    We can't "balance" certain class groups easily if it is causing us to lose majority of affected players in the end. Class balance for any class can't be objective for every player for this reason as it is considering majority of player pool in end game content instead of a certain group.

    <P.S.>

    As an aside, can't you do something about the motion like a large one full turn Rolling Sobat of the female character in "Blasting Cyclone"?

    It is possible to change its attack motion to a quick spin-slash.

    Quote from Pacino

    It has been occurring since the latest patch.

    When using the skill "Whirlwind", the skill motion is done with bare hands while the weapon is stored in the back or waist.

    We are aware of this issue and investigating.

    You can get level 70 elite skill to get rid of cast time of spells.


    Damage difference is coming from cast time multiplier of Charged Chop, which is 3 so it is dealing 1000+0.3xINT damage thrice.

    Quote from Nagasarete

    key word: each .

    EACH explosion will deal 1611 damage . There is no question of reduction anywhere, and there is even a denial of reduction : "EACH" explosion will deal 1611 damage""

    Each explosion (each channel) inflicts 1611 damage already. The explosion is occurring on your target, the rest of the damage is reflection from the main explosion. We do not plan to change this for now, but there will be changes for the class for the future.

    Defense Net (498549) is providing only magical immunity.

    Therefore, the only way to reduce damage of Cosmic Explosion is physical damage reductions or magical immunity.

    I'm even more confused now :D

    Immunities are for spell types since a magical spell does not need to be a damage dealer yet magical immunity can still block their effects; but damage reductions are for damage types. Cosmic Explosion spell is magical type, but its damage is physical.

    498549 and 490270 both from warlock don't work in last boss to prevent the explosion.

    Defense Net (498549) is providing only magical immunity. Cosmic Explosion spell type is magical, damage type is physical.

    Shield of Otherworld (490270) is providing damage reduction in PvE/PvP which does not affect percent damages. Therefore, the only way to reduce damage of Cosmic Explosion is physical damage reductions or magical immunity.

    Please do not forget that Magical damage types currently have excessive amount of resist rate in Dark Core, which will be fixed along with this patch.

    Also any chance this annoying s/ch bug gets fixed ? -> click here

    We still do not have any possible solution for this.


    Quote from Cruvor

    Eventho i have a Base Channel time of 3.02 seconds and Skill states that it reduces channel time by 0.5s per stack up to 4 stacks , so should be 1.02s for me.

    This is changed with a recent S/Ch change, maximum stack is removing casting time entirely, it will be corrected in description.

    • Changed NPC resist point gain per wisdom to 0 from 0.36.

    Quote from Madox

    The buff that people get inside the ini giving mdmg and pdmg when you have a new weapon should be changed to the same dmg kind as iron blood will buff. Not all the classes benefit the same from it right now.


    Now a question. The 15% accuracy this buff give? It works the same for all classes? Don't leathers get waaaaay more advantage from it than other classes since dex give base accuracy? I'm not sure so I ask.

    Mentioned buffs are already providing equal amount of damage to classes, working exactly as Ironblood Will, except visually increasing damage. Physical boost of mentioned effect is split into main/offhand weapon damage so unlike Physical Damage boost, it isn't boosting equipment bonuses.


    -


    Every skill has a base Hit Rate, which is usually 99% and has a decrement per level difference which is usually 0/1/2/9%. This is calculated like; 99 - level difference * accuracy decrement per level of skill. Raw Accuracy is subtracted from this Resist Rate through various formulas and % Accuracy is doing same except the process of transforming Raw Accuracy to % Value.


    We are aware that some spells have excessive Resist Rate and working on it to reduce them to a reasonable value currently.

    Quote from Madox

    All classes should have 285 level weapon for the weapons they use. It's stupid some have 285 and others 220, it makes no sense. If checking subclass by subclass is too much work, add 285 to every class in all weapons and easy fix.

    Common Resist is not related with weapon level. If your spell is results being a Resist, only way to improve it is more accuracy.


    Weapon level is affecting only Miss, which magical spells can do too, which is a lot less frequent compared to Resist caused by level difference.


    If certain class spell is Resisting more than others, it is a matter of balance which will be investigated further.

    Yes, it is relying on your weapon level; resist rate is working same as dodge rate now, just depending on magical attributes instead.
