- Changed Slash bleeding to downscale with physical damage reduction.
I haven't had a chance to test this change, but I would assume a new formula was put in place...
I feel like we are over-engineering Slash Bleed at this point. It goes from being too op to very useless. Maybe change it to a flat amount like other dots and give spear another purpose.
Change is about preventing inflicting damage when boss isn't supposed to take damage, such as Zerdeon.

Display MoreDisplay MoreHi,
A few thoughts about the latest warrior changes.
I like the fact that the direction we are taking is to make some warriors more powerful with specific types of weapons. I was never a fan of "make one katana and play all warriors" meta. so big thumbs up for this.
Spear Bleed with Long Reach(1492407) : The hit range (Fan-shaped was never a good mechanic imho) is very small and the dmg output is very low vs the positioning it requires + harder rage management with spear.
Now let's discuss Warrior/Warlock, it seems to me that the trend now is: you want to buff a class, you give it a dot... which is not very fun to play against (nor with it tbh). "Spirit Wound" dot does too much dmg and coupling it with Spirit Blade Storm is just too much. Bleed used to do 20% max overall dmg and players were complaining about it. I don't think giving w/wl an aoe dot much stronger than Current Bleed was a good idea. Spirit Wound averages about 50% in overall dmg, and even 70% or more if you use Dot sources ( robot, Artefact Rune).
Dots have been overperforming in Orkham since release, I am expecting the power of dots to go down inevitably when players finish their new sets and get access to more Patt/DMG (so mobs will die faster and Dots won't have enough time to scale up). But until that happens W/Wl needs to be adjusted down a bit and/or Nerf how much dot dmg you can buff from outside sources (robot, artefact rune) because other classes perform nearly the same way in Orkham atm.
Kudos asking for a nerf of a class you play. This adds credibility but I would kindly ask you and other influental players to wait a bit longer, before writing a post for three reasons where its conclusions are drawn from scrut.
1) Other guilds might have a different experience due to multiple reasons including tank pulling behaviour, classes used in party (for example lots of defreducer classes make def ignoring DoTs weaker in comparison) and as you said current Level of Gear and even Patk buff.
2) There have been posts by LL in forum with scruts of other classes where other guilds have different experience (e.g. Warden/Rogue being OP in Dark Core). Fallen e.g. had a different experience. Then when random runs started, it was suddenly just average. Not saying Warrior/Warlock would be just average given natural course of action, but you can never be 100% sure.
3) Waiting longer can give you and other players writing a post more time to reflect and try the class in many different group setups.
My personal anecdote:
Reading the initial patch notes I was very excited. Bought 2h Sword, tested Warrior/Warlock alot in Itnal, kept rolling for good stat in weapon but needed 1-2 more days to try it myself in Orkham. I even sold my Katana since if I have a 2h Sword, I can Play Warrior/Scout with that and use Spear for Bleed if needed.
Now I read, that the skill has been disabled. Awesome, Crystals wasted, Katana sold and I cannot even try this class once myself to confirm your experience.
"Following changes will be applied only in custom instances until next patch.
rience."
Devs, can you include Itnal lager as well for testing purposes?
Skill will be enabled back with current state with next patch. Adjusting damage over time requires client patch so we couldnt change it in real time.
Side note; spirit wound does not have physical attack scaling like slash bleed, so it doesnt rely alot on raid setup or equipment.
Greetings
I rly dont understand this new second gloves you have added. In my opinion we dont need to be pushed to play with katana or to be scout. In my opinion 1h with no shiled talisman or any other weapon in offhand will be incresed as i know every rogue is played with double daggers wich means if we take gloves only option is katana.
Pls reconsider this and change this option witch is not fair to players who dont play with katana.
I dont like option to be pushed only for normal set or to be scout...
Thanks in forward
This is different option for each gameplay decision, rather than a forced option. You can play however you want. Gauntlets of the Shadow is stronger for everything else, which is also not an option to force the player to play non ranged/katana.

I couldn't reproduce this, please check your magical accuracy.

Not moving will result in losing similar buffs, it is our bot preventation.
Greetings
It is also intended that even if you are using skills you have to still move to prevent losing Rune Overload. For example if Im tanking a boss that doenst move and Im spamming my skills Rune Overload will also stop since Im not moving and its kinda annoying just having to move to prevent this. This also happens with K/m but since K/M aoe doenst have cd you can refresh it isntantly.
We are excluding custom content from this checker, if you give the instance where you need to stand idle without moving for long time, we could exclude it too.

Display MoreThe "Oriental Dragon Mount (Permanent)" mount.
I bought this mount from the store during the Festival of Fire. Like many others mounts this one did not differ in other characteristics, just +80% speed. However, when I started using it, an unpleasant thing happened.
- This mount has a 3 sec. casting time, while others have 2 sec. casting time.
- All mounts I've used before cancel the mount buff when resummoned. With one button I can get on and off a mount. It's quite convenient, I don't need to look for a mount buff among all the buffs to dismount.
Of course, someone can say that it is not critical (2 or 3 seconds). And you can create a macro that will allow you to correct the second point. However, the fact is that it spoiled the mood of purchasing the product. If I could return this mount and get my money back (like in real life) - I would. Because at the moment this mount is not bringing me the joy I expected.
I created a support issue where I described all of this and added the following.
- Please fix these bugs (specifically this dragon) or add a casting time to the description (so players know what they are buying).
In response, I was advised to contact the forum, which I did.
What do you think, if the developers don't want to fix bugs, should they at least write about it in the description of the mount?
P.S. In my opinion, the second point is really an error. The same error is currently present for the skill "Forsaken Maneuver" (Rogue Primary Only). I also wrote about this bug and was told that it will be fixed in the next patch. However, why this dragon cannot be fixed in the same way - remains a mystery.
Both will be corrected with next patch.

Display MoreHi !
I would like to know if it is intended that sometimes we take more dmg from mobs depending on the run?
I always run with same class (wrd/s) and only buffs from the class, I usually take 7k dmg/mob from all mobs during the run, but in few runs it happened that I take 48k dmg/mob even if I use buff food during the whole run.
Greetings
Please check your defense value if it happens again to compare. There is currently a known issue where another player is having 0 defense after class change in Dreamland, we are investigating it.
Greetings
There seems to be another issue, where weaponbased attackspeed (like Axeattackspeed) also only works on the weapon itself.
If you use X weapon type atttack speed stat on X weapon type weapon, it will affect only the weapon its attached to, which is intended. If you use X weapon type attack speed stat on Y weapon type, it will affect all X weapon type equipped.
Greetings
This will be changed with next patch, along with damage attributes.

- Warrior/Mage
- Changed Lightning Burn Weapon to reduce aggro by 20% additionally.
At least in Orkham it does not work yet. In character interface also the reduction is not shown. Could you please take a look into it?
You won't see it in character interface, but effect will work.
Greetings
It is not, this will be changed but there is no ETA.

Increased Katana imaginary offhand damage rate to 85% from 70% of main hand weapon DPS (+20% offhand damage).
Is this not a mistake? It seems to me that the description of skills should be different.
Regards
Change is not about this passive. It is about rate of benefit offhand dps skills getting from katana.

Display MoreHi
are there plans to reimplement /implement new Rogue Gloves ?
as of now there are only Katana Gloves , nothing about dagger or even other weapons ( 1h axe , 1/2h Hammers etc)
Greetings
We don't plan to implement many special gloves for now, it might be changed by the direction of class balance in following week/months.

Hi, do we need to clear orkham to convert our corrupted tier stones into real mana stones ? Can you just change NPCs to be clickable without clearing instance ? Because sometimes we need to use NPCs immediately and we have no party to clear instance
NPC doesn't require anything except removal of wall, which doesn't require any mob clear.
Greetings
I've had the below issue so many times today only that I started to believe that this is a not fine at this point...
Can you please change the stats pool so that when you finally get a good green stat you don't get a red stat that directly nerfs it? (nerf is even bigger than the benefit in most cases XD)
This is happening due to getting relevant stats has same chance for both good and bad stat slot, this chance is adjusted for second slot now.

Display MoreHello
i wanted to ask where the planned patch notes for rogues come from
The rogues are fine now
Why are they being weakened, no one had complained and compared to other classes Fine
i don't understand the upcoming patch notes, please explain to me why this should be done
and I also can't understand why the katana is always buffed and the daggers are rendered useless
Greetings Luciaa
Changes are to reduce the sustain while increasing burst. To reduce sustain, another step was taken by reducing DoTs by 45% in orkham.
Just to clarify, katana is not receiving any change except for Rogue/Mage and Rogue/Warlock. (Rogue/Warrior too but Katana is less likely used on Rogue/Warrior). It is slightly strengthened by this change so katana can be considered as an option for at least few of Rogues, as it initially was intended to, instead of being a pure warrior weapon.

When will we have final version of creating set items? It changes everyday: No arcadia coins at start, now required. 100 purples mats, then 20, now 20 yellow. First blueprints bound, now not.
Its so annoying, I cannot create drop rules in guild...
- Arcadia coins was supposed to be required since beginning and it was even visible in NPC dialogue but it is not reported and it is noticed late by us.
- Purple materials are changed to orange materials without changing rate because there was no use of orange material, as it was overlooked, you don't need to have any effort to transmute this.
- We didn't change blueprints as far as I know.
In my opinion ALL special gloves should give the 4 piece set bonus, else no twohanded class will be able to use them because of aggro issues.
Special gloves are providing negative aggro already by on their own.
Greetings
Gloves are to increase variety of gameplay rather than making wielder stronger. We couldn't find much alteration for plate classes. If you have a creative idea, feel free to share.
Greetings
sure:
- Version with a threaten effect in half of value maybe (useful for warden and champ tank)
- Version for aggro: Effect like the chain gloves. Any offensive spell will trigger an Area of Effect hit with 2 sec cd
- Version for aggro: Flat additional aggro bonus
You are losing 4 piece set effect with special gloves so 3 is not a logical option. I will forward other 2 idea to the person who is responsible with tank balance.
Greetings
What about classes that wear neither 2h nor offhand weapon?
Is a corrupted version for the wb talisman planned?
corrupted version of Murk too :3
I suggest adding the magical xbow and stats like int int_rate, wisdom, wisdom_rate, sta, sta_rate (tank)
We do not plan to do these.
Greetings

Hi,
is it intended that there is only 1 plate gloves in orkham without any special effects? All other types have multiple gloves

Display MoreDisplay MoreHey,
since im not sure how much you ever farmed in this game, I wanna give you atleast my point of view.
Arcane forge is, atleast for me, one of the biggest QoL-Change ever happend in CoA since I play. Beside you starting with Tier7 stones. You have a Loop out of 30 min, where you can farm as much mobs as you actually able to farm/want.
~ Greetings
CôsmôActually Arcane Forge is not so bad. But maybe they should decrease defense of mobs. So even people with low gear can farm them. Some of my friends are having problems with farming there
Their attributes are identical to Lv99 instance easy mode, we aren't planning to change this.

1h Sword has no STA_Rate or physical dmg mitigation at all as relevant stat? It's a tank weapon
That's why I rolled more than 100 times not what I wanted
P.S.: actually 1h sword was a tank weapon. now it's more likely wand, where we want a wand to have stamina on it
Edit: Can you speak with team and maybe add tank relevant stats to 1h sword?
