When Blade Arts ends, obtain up to 100% Blade of Meter depending on the number of Burst Enhancement stacks.

Developer Comment

The class has been great in the latest raids, but had some issues internally. For a while now, Deathblade has been very dull and both engravings/skills have been pretty much the same. We wanted to diversify and give a variety of skills to the engravings.

For Surge, we wanted to improve QoL of stacking by making it faster and hit harder with more stacks. For Remaining Energy, we wanted to give them more tools for continous fights. We adjusted a lot of meter generation skills and improved several skills to compensate. Overall we adjusted several skills to help distinguish the blades engraving more.

After looking at test server and more internally, we found some of the changes to have exceeded our expectations and dialed them down a little bit.

Developer Comment

Nightmare was designed initially as a general skill, but quickly became a core skill for all reapers. Meter generation and other issues became apparent when having to include this skill especially for Lunar Voice. It became an issue so we added Nightmare as an identity skill. We also overall imrpoved the experience skills. We made it so there will be some skill diversity depending on the raid encounter.

After growing concerns about the removal of the Counter affix on Nightmare, we decided to add it back in. In the process of adjusting some of the skills, we compensated Lunar Voice with crit rate.

Developer Comment

Communication Overflow is a class that needs to utilize a lot of skills to showcase it's highest potential, but can be very hard to do. We adjusted and improved how skills interact with cooldown and added damage reduction pets so they don't die so easily.

We are looking at more ways to help alleviate stress when playing the class, but for now, we are just giving damage reduction on Maririn and adjusting how the spears fall and cast to make it easier.

Developer Comment

As time went on, the Scrapper's identity and personality was lacking, so we added a new identitiy 'Fighting Spirit'. Instead of increasing the difficulty of the class, we just improved it so you can experience a more powerful version. A lot of skills were adjusted so you won't feel restricted and pressured with the new 'Fighting Spirit'.

Scrapper is an old class that had many outadated skills. Some skills we felt were incompatible with the class, so we replaced them with 2 new skills. In addition to skill adjustments, we plan on adjusting the new skills more to give it more weight in it's attack.

In addition, the tripod effects of the main stamina spenders were adjusted to alleviate the increased difficulty in combat for Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu. A tripod option was added to Roundup Sweep to prevent randomness with gauge generation.

The new Shock skill animation will be modified to give it a heavier feel suited for the Scrapper class.

Developer Comment

Over time, Wardancer has lost of a lot of it's unique characteristics, making it difficult to identifity it's uniqueness because of it's skill options. By adding in new skills and updating current skills, we wanted to provide a fun way of playing the class and selecting skills based on your own playstyle.

With the spenders, we wanted to showcase a variety of playstyles that can be achieved with the new skills and updates. Additionally, we also improved areas where we felt were lacking and needed some quality of life adjustments.

In addition, we have reduced the cooldown of the new skill "Whirlwind Yongryukak" (Used in First Intention builds) to better fit into the rotation.

The engraving Berserker's Technique has a large variance when it comes to different end game raids. Since it didn't meet up to damage expections in the last raid update, we adjusted the damage of some of the skills to make up for the lack of damage.

Developer Comment

Gunlancer is a class that can contribute a lot to the party in a variety of different ways. However, since the difficulty of the end game raids has been increasing significantly, it's been difficult to play the class. We increased the damage of skills and improved some of the effects of said skills to help the class become more active. We also adjusted Battlefield Shield with a miniumum shield value return to help.

We are determined to further help the class when it comes to end game content. We plan to reduce the meter gain of monsters (Legion Raid Meter related Mechs) when they land a hit on Gunlancer in the future.

PVE

Alithanes's Judgment Changed: Recovers 80% of Piety Meter at start. Piety Meter supply when skill hits will be reduced by 90%.

Developer Comment

Alithanes's Judgment is a skill used to protect the party, but can be a bit annoying when you miss the target and don't get meter. We adjusted it so you don't have to hit a target to get meter.

Developer Comment

Due to the increased difficulty of raids, Destroyers are having a hard time in battle. We made adjustments to alleviate some inconveniences and increase overall damage. We helped by increasing synergy time on skills and reducing the cooldown of Endure Pain to help withstand attacks more frequently. We also added another counter option as well as overall quality of life of counter skills.

To further help the class when it comes to end game content. We plan to reduce the meter gain of monsters (Legion Raid Meter related Mechs) when they land a hit on Destroyer in the future. For now we have decided to reduce the difficulty in the endcontent by increasing the speed of some charge skill animations.
