Skill Changes:
1. Hero:
In order to increase Hero's hunting ability, Combo Force was changed, but the effect it had efficiency was noticeably large. As such, we've reverted this change, but to reflect the philosophy we had in mind, it will no longer consume Combo.
[Combo Force]: Changed back to pulling monsters towards your character, but no longer costs Combo.
2. Paladin:
Void Elemental's ability to cancel elemental resistances was removed and the name was changed to match this description.
[Elemental Charge]: Replaces Void Elemental's name.
3. Bow Master:
With the past changes, the damage dealt by Bow Masters seems to ahve fallen behind, and one of the culprits was an error with Final Attack not correctly activating. At the same time, Final Attack contributes to a considerable amount of the total damage dealt. We will be adjusting Arrow Blaster's damage and attack speed and evaluate the results afterwards.
[Extreme Archery: Bow]: Damage and attack bonuses increased.
[Illusion Step]: Dexterity bonus increased.
[Hurricane]: Damage increased, fixed the error where Final Attack would occassionally not occur.
[Arrow Blaster]: Adjusted the attack speed and installation damage, fixed the same error Hurricane had
[Hurricane - Split Attack]: Changed the amount of damage lost when splitting the attack.
4. Shadower
The 1v1 skill, Assassinate and the multitarget Boomerang Step are weak in comparison to each other so the skill delay was decreased, increasing the attack speed. We want further testing to confirm whether or not Boomerang Step's current efficiency is sufficient for 1v1 scenarios.
[Assassinate]: Skill delay adjusted.
5. Captain:
There are skills here that have overlapping roles, namely Rapid Fire and Headshot both being 1v1 skills. In order for these skills to differentiate from each other, Headshot - Cooltime Reduce is being removed and a Boss Killer is being added. Quickdraw's effect was adjusted to make it more significant. As such, using Rapid Fire to activate Quickdraw and switching to Headshot should be a more viable pattern.
[Headshot]: Damage increased, and number of hits increased.
[Headshot - Boss Killer]: Replaces current Headshot - Cooltime Reduce.
[Captain's Dignity]: Damage increased.
[Quickdraw]: Damage bonus increased.
6. Mercedes:
We've heard many user's complaints of [Ignis Roar]'s usefullness dropping off significantly at boss fights. We've also heard complaints regarding the hunting ability being changed so drastically, so we're adjusting [Legendary Spear] to be able to chain with other skills to help with this situation.
[Ignis Roar]: Added a base attack boost and adjusted the ammount gained from linking skills together.
[Legendary Spear]: Increased the damage bonus Leaf Tornado receives. The delay can be decreased now when linking to other skills.
7. Demon Slayer:
Fixed an error with Force not automatically recovering correctly.
[Max Force]: ^.
8. Demon Avenger:
Fixed an issue where there was too much SP compared to the new max levels of skills.
[Bloody Imprison]: Max level increased.
9. Mechanic:
^
[AF-11]: Max level increased.
10. Angelic Buster:
Soul Seeker Expert's current activation rate did not compensate for Angelic Buster's low attacks enough, and we've increased it accordingly.
[Soul Seeker Expert]: Activation Rate increased.
