Quote from Idhril

Skill ID 490122 : The damage you get from the buff scales with the damage you get. When I attack, I get 24 hits in 4 seconds. With 2 hits I get 45-50 hits from the buff. So if I get an 800k hit from aggro or an aoe I get 24x17k. But sometimes you get 2-7 aoes as a meele. You would be dead right away. This buff is suicide at the moment.

Each damage is divided to be inflicted later, not just last hit.

If you get 1kk damage without buff, you will get 650k with buff and receive 350k + 20% in 4 seconds. This is not a buff to neglect overall damage, but slow it down.

Quote from Ramer

Added new passive: Distant Friend: Increases your damage by up to 15% depending on distance between you and the target. _{only works for ranged weapon DPS type}

Does this skill not work on AOE skills - is this intentional or a mistake?

It is intended, description will be clarified with next patch.

Quote from Byte

You cannot disable aura effect if someone is casting it constantly upon you. But caster can disable it and other players won't lose the buff as long as caster stays within 1000 range.

So it will break some boss mechanics, if specific classes are not included

Healer can still use it as before. Just use buff once and remove it from self if you don't want to rebuff other players.

K/M

-491321: in addition to strength, let it also increase intelligence or 491170 let it also increase intelligence
-491628: Let it last until the mana runs out or so that its duration is shown while it is running . It will be welcomed if it will inflict both physical and magical damage . in the case of magical let them be damage % dependent on cast speed .
-It would also be useful to have something to speed up the usual attack

all knights
490174 - I think it is weak on most knights . suggest that it would reduce the PVE critical damage received 10? 12 ? 15 % ?idk

Knight/Mage is awaiting a review for its DPS side with no ETA.

We track player activities for each class and do not plan to change Warlocks before enough data is gathered from players currently.

We do not plan to change Rogue/Mage particularly at the moment.

Quote from robopoke

Rogue/Warrior:
This class aoe-dmg is way too strong. Please nerf slightly 6-7%.

Rogue/Knight:
This class can tank Rofl but its only way to generate meaningful aoe-Aggro is Whitehits. Since Whitehits have an even less range than melee-skills, this results in bad crowd control. Also this class is too squishy for Dark Core.
Suggestions:
1) Make Disarmament aoe and increase its cooldown to like 5 seconds.
2) Add a % atk debuff on all targets affected by your Searing Light.

Rogue/Bard and Rogue/Scout:
These classes utilize channels like Combo-Shot and Fast Draw. This makes it harder to time Perfect Slice because you would have to purposely not use these Channels and lose damage in the short-term, if a Perfect Slice is getting ready.
Suggestions:
Change Combo-Shot and Fast Draw to be instant but add global cooldown. Since Perfect Slice ignores Global Cooldown this would be a simple fix.

Rogue/Warrior has its unique slow but strong playstyle, we do not plan to change this.

Rogue/Knight is awaiting its rework as a plate tank with no ETA.

Quote from xLutinex

Changed following buffs to be aura effects, which will be removed if the source is 1.000 units away or dead.
Grace of Life – Priest
Amplified Attack – Priest
Blessed Spring Water – Priest
Magic Barrier – Priest
Angel’s Blessing – Priest/Mage
Shadow Fury – Priest/Rogue
Musical Joy – Priest/Bard
Defender’s Roar – Warrior/Priest
Concentration Prayer – Druid
Savage Blessing – Druid
Neotropical Warmth – Druid/Bard
Briar Shield – Druid/Warden
Sublimation Weave Curse – Warlock
Holy Protection – Knight/Priest
Potent Blessing – Knight/DDruid

How does it work if for example 2 priests are in group?

Stronger aura will be applied to players, including to weaker aura caster, which results in removing weaker aura from the caster.

Quote from anbubg

1) Bard/Knight [Tempo] #1491377 skill and buff mismatch - +8% attack/movement speed & -10% aggro on the skill tooltip, +9,6% attack/movement speed and -12% aggro on the buff (on the caster at least).

This is not a bug, it would happen with Beautiful Encore passive with a second Bard.

Quote from Ramer

sustaining is not even visible because everything dies quickly

If that is the case, class is not suitable for your raid, we do not plan to change this class back.

Quote from Ramer

S/WL - are you planning to revamp this combination so that we can play with physical gear?

This may happen in future.

Quote from Ramer

S/K - can you let us know if you'll give this combination the ability to tank or will you just take away another combination from our gear (we currently have the least number of combinations we can play with)?

Recent news about this class is, we are still discussing about this class about making it either another DPS or off role DPS with slight raid support abilities ( not like S/P or S/B, rather like old S/R ), so answer is, no, it will stay as a leather class.

Regarding Knight/Rogue:

Byte can you clarify the aggro multiplier on the level 15 elite. Description says that the offhand hits will have high aggro generation, but my tests says an aggro multiplier between 1 - 1.2 ? :O

Greetings

God's Sword has 1.5x aggro multiplier.

Quote from Ramer

The combination now deals less damage both to a single target and to multiple targets.

Change was never intending to boost your area damage burst. It is more about increasing area sustain. We do not plan to boost area boost back but sustain will be increased further.

Quote from Luciaa

S/ch
should only increase the range of the following abilities
Joint Strike (ID:490420) from 50 to 160
Penetrating Arrow (ID:490400) from 90 to 160

We do not plan to change this.

Quote from Luciaa

S/R
please change poisonous bite so that it is no longer dependent on other players, the party members mostly do not vampire arrow

We already did this before but majority of Scout/Rogue players requested it to be reverted.

Quote from Ramer

"S/R - I get annoyed with buffing using offensive skills, I definitely prefer passive skills with a specific cooldown so I can go into battle with full power from the first shot. But I would leave that to more advanced players on this combo C... :)"

We do not plan to change this class currently at all, you are not supposed to be able to do this with this class.

Quote from Luciaa

S/p
I think the class needs to be reworked in general
in damage or support
maybe we can find a good solution in between // currently it is not played because the S/b replaced it as supporter

It will be considered.

Quote from Ramer

"I wouldn't want S/K to be a tank, there are many tank combinations to take away from leather armor - which already has the least combinations among the DPS classes. I would see S/K as a crossbowman to make more use of the crossbow, the bow has a lot of combinations while the crossbow and pistol have only one useful one. That's why a crossbowman who has a long cast time for skills but has powerful and very accurate shots could be a good fit, and the cooldown between skills could also be extended for "loading shots"."

Quote from Himen

I think if you will rework s/k dont make it to be tank, make him pure dps(bcs scouts alredy have less options on dps bcs s/wl is magical,s/p,s/b are support) or support , or if you make tank make it to use leather dps gear . Also you can try to make s/wl to be also phy dps . In my opinion all scouts need boost , some more some less but all need boost .

Quote from anbubg

Rework the scout/knight. This combo is neither a tank nor a damage dealer. You cannot possibly make it any worse (but you can still try).

Scout/Knight might be a tank or off-role DPS in future, we do not plan to make it a main DPS currently.

Quote from Madox

Hey!

I would like to see more variety in mages playstyle. At the end all of them (except m/k and its skill is also the same type) are a constant spam of static field and thats it. They all feel to be the same class. If someone have any idea in mind it would be cool.

In the other hand, I would like to have atleast 1 mage combination that is focused in single dmg.

We are currently planning a rework for Mage/Druid in this direction, though without any estimated time of arrival.

Quote from playboy

would like to see M/B get an aoe skill similar to B/M's fire nova also fiery song extraction should not be a casting kill and should get a little boost and also raise the magical dmg from 12% to 15% for the duration .

also most of all classes you ask feedback on i think you can probably solve some if you give classes elite skills 80-90 and maybe up to 100.
also imho you should consider giving all magical classes a wand boost either passive, elite or from iss.

Mage/Bard will get further changes.

Quote from grknkrdn1299

After last changes, mage/scout seems to be dead. I remember when i used my burst in dark core, my pet was dealing 15m damage with his skill. Now it deals only 3m dmg with burst. Mage/Scout was too powerful and you had to fix its damage, i understand that but not like this. You could give pet a debuff like you did to warden pets. You really need to fix m/s pet because it is worst mage class now

Mage/Scout will get further changes.

Quote from kunxu

K/Wl : maybe need extra dmg or something when using plate gear.
in my opinion parry rate will be calculated to increase dmg rate as well as more atk speed (need 19% more - because this is atk speed ratio when using chain gear gold)
Indeed, using plate gear will be more efficient. and will be fairer than chain gear.

Using plate items would render the level 20 elite skill (+18% defence to chain items) useless. The devs should really think about which type of armours is best suited for this combo and then change either the bonus from parry rate or the level 20 elite skill.

Our intention was not to make plate superior to chain for this class in terms of damage. Class may or not be weak with either of equipment type, we do not plan to make neither of them be significantly superior to other one, but further improvements for overall of class might be implemented.

Quote from Flu

Hello,

Regarding Knight/Mage...
Is there any plan to make Knight/Mage viable as a magical dps class?
I mean most skills are doing magical dmg. Seeing this class as a close combat dps combo with possibility to be used as (in this case physical) tank like champ/bard or knight/warlock would be nice.
From the existing skills it has the same potential as a Warrior/Mage for example. Having the most dmg in white Hits is nothing new. The class just needs some more dmg dealing skills and Buffs.
Maybe even make it like Scout/Mage with all skills in magical and physical form?
Please consider.

Less known DPS classes will be reviewed soon such as this one to make them more viable with pure DPS gear rather than being an off DPS with some peculiar equipment without touching its off DPS side as much as we could.

Quote from yali61

and maybe the radius of the area abilities can be increased.

some classes reached a radius of 100 while we only reached 75.

We do not plan to change this.

Quote from anbubg

Remove the PsiStatus requirement for warlock [Knowledge Acquisition] #498552

The new version of the skill is great (the extra psi recovery I mean). However, since the skill requires [Willpower Blade], that limits its usefulness for Constructors like warlock/druid, warlock/knight & especially warlock/warden (this combo stays constantly in Construct). Please either remove completely the PsiStatus requirement or let this skill be used in [Willpower Construct] as well. Also, consider increasing its duration to 15 or 30 mins like what you did with mage [Energy Influx].

Each warlock has its own way of resource management, we do not plan to change this. If a combination has lesser recovery, thats its weakness as intended.

Quote from playboy

please make surge of awareness a non casting kill.

We do not plan to change this.

Quote from playboy

would also like to see warlocks get a boost for using wands.
magical classes have a lot of casting and in burst some warlock classes takes too long, thats why you only see ppl play wl/s as dps(you might see a wl/w or wl/r ) but in my belief to balance classes means all classes as much as possible.. i know you guys are trying and i applaud your efforts.
a i said in other thread i think your road would be a lot easier if all classes got elite kills 80-90-100

This is technically not possible to balance, using wand is currently a way to gain more cast speed by sacrificing raw magical damage, which is sometimes better in some circumstances, that is up to players decision. We also do not plan to change this due to its difficulty to balance.
