Hello, here are my thoughts on what came about of a balance project that in my opinion, was never even needed.
For starters, revamp all damage back to how it was, regular damage, dim damage, ele damage. Keep the new damage stat as that +30 is NOT in my opinion what is creating these insane damage outputs from classes wether it is an archer doing entirely too much ele damage, a summoner just doing absolutely too much damage in every aspect, or an ele doing entirely too much dim damage. Keep the new stats you added to the game ofcourse, the new bonus drop the new damage etc. But the damage scaling need to go back to how it was. It was a great idea to balance characters and for the most part you guys did a great job but for example at times it does not look like you did a great job because on top of these additions, every single damage stat we were used to for years is now x5 for example but the defensives didnt change. This would solve the main two classes that are entirely too op and when i say op i mean without any debuffs, if you just attack someone with a summoner or and elementalist the amount of raw damage they do due to the upgrade of all the damage stats is just not balanced. Others classes its also noticeable but these 2 in specific. Neither in my opinion need a nerf at this point, revert the damage and then lets see if it levels itself out. With ofcourse the changes you implemented to some classes. Other than that, give hunter back its full cure cooldown time. It was intense, exciting, and fun to be able to stamp on a castle with not just a knight but also hunter. Now what i see from coming back almost no class can stamp now, too much damage output and for example hunters cure doesnt last long enough which is something at least on this server that some of us built our characters around. Possibly wanting to tank in this aspect on a castle, and now cant. And if anyone has a problem with bringing the cure cooldown back to what it was, take away that silly movement speed that was given to hunter.. it doesnt need it. Cure does the work for hunter, thats what the character is built around yes you can get slowed or de-buffed but if you can hold on its temporary. Making them faster to a point of catching some of the fastest characters in the game is not necessary hunter was and will never be a killer it is a tank / support class. -Driller
