Mage

Note by GD: After collecting a lot of data, we will release some fixes for magical classes in order to flatten high damage spikes and to buff aspects of classes that could perform better. Some other classes, such as Mage/Warrior or Mage/Rogue will have their buffs shifted, in order to work more fluently and more consistently overall.

Mage/Scout

Note by GD: We noticed that the bonus damage through Magic Archery was resulting in too much base damage of both, the player and the pet, so we decided to revert the change again.

• Reduced Magic Archery conversion rate to 18% from 25%.

Mage/Rogue

Note by GD: We noticed the cooldown reduction mechanic of Distract had a very poor impact to the gameplay of the class, so we wanted to buff it decently. We also finally got rid of the damage bonus from Kiss of the Vampire and added it passively to other skills.

• Inceased Shadow Protection cast speed to 20% from 16%.
• Increased Shadow Shroud area damage to 32% from 24%.
• Increased Purgatory Darkness damage to 3289 from 2860.
• Increased Shadow of the Baron elemental damage gain to 20% from 12%.
• Increased Distract cooldown reduction per cast to 2s from 1s, reduced its cooldown to 90s from 120.
• Increased Kiss of the Vampire damage to 3296 from 2746, removed temporary magical damage boost.

Mage/Warrior

Note by GD: We noticed the class was overperforming in certain situations by a lot, so here comes a deserved nerf. Don’t be too sad, the class will become stronger soon due to upcoming content updates for the buff gear anyway.

• Reduced Elemental Explosion critical damage gain to 15% from 25%.
• Changed Rage Mana to provide 35% cast speed instead of 20% magical attack.
• Changed Meditative Current to be refreshed upon reapply, replaced 52% cast speed gain with 10% magical attack.

Mage/Druid

Note by GD: We noticed the Green Guardian system has become a little too complex over the time, so we want to increase the accessibility to it by changing it to be only a resource that is used by some skills, similar to Nature’s Power of Druid. We hope to achieve easier and less complex rotations.

• Changed Green Guardian to never lose stacks by moving.
• Changed Perception to additionally provide 16.7% earth damage.
• Changed Subterranean Blade to grant 1 stack of Green Guardian, 2 if you do not have more than 10 stacks.
• Removed Cosmic Call cooldown reduction effect, skill now requires 10 Green Guardian stack to be used and consume them, removed cooldown.
• Changed Infiltration Spirit: Consumes 10 stacks of Green Guardian to provide Green Prophecy for 30 seconds, granting 30% magical attack, 20% damage reduction, 35% skill cost reduction. Also for 15 seconds it will recover 5% MP every second. Cooldown: 30s, no global cooldown trigger, no cost, requires 10 stack of Green Guardian
• Changed Meteor Shower -> Singularity: Summons a graity field that remains active for 6 seconds, dealing 1500 + 0.1 x INT earth damage every second to all enemies within a radius of 80. Enemies under the effect of Paralysis take 2200 + 0.2 x INT earth damage instead and will be stunned for 2 seconds. Cast time: 2 seconds, Cooldown: 8 seconds, no global cooldown trigger, Cost: 5% MP, 80 radius, 150 range

Mage/Warlock

Note by GD: A reason for backports and lags on this class might be the high hit frequency of Cast Shadow, so we tried to reduce it and nerf the overall damage per cast by around 10%. This should also balance the class better in AoE situations.

• Reduced Cast Shadow hit count to 3 from 5, increased damage per channel to 2550 from 1700.

Mage/Champion

Note by GD: The area damage due to Shock Strike was way too much, so we wanted to shift its damage to the DoT.

• Increased Electric Bolt damage over time value to 2408 from 344.
• Changed Shock Strike to lose 6% damage for each extra target it hits, incrased damage over time value to 5775 from 5250, increased damage over time duration to 10s from 6s.

Mage/Knight

Note by GD: We want to shift the damage more towards the Holy Discharge usage instead of just spamming Stars of Light. Therefor we have to slightly nerf Stars of Light and buff Holy Discharge.

• Reduced Stars of Light damage to 1409 from 1611.
• Increased Holy Discharge damage per stack to 2037 from 1698.

Warlock

Note by GD: Warlocks seem to perform pretty well overall already according to our data. Therefor there will be few balance changes. Feel free to share your experience and to leave feedback in the forum or in our discord server.

Warlock/Scout

Note by GD: We heard your feedback but decided against a full removal of the GCD trigger. Instead there will be a short cast time to keep the flow of the class and to not break the dps potential entirely. Instead, we add a decent buff to Precise Dark Magic to make it more noticeable.

• Increased Precise Dark magic damage to 200% from 130%.
• Removed Saces’ Impatience global cooldown trigger, added 1s cast time, allowed casting while moving.

Warlock/Rogue

Note by GD: We heard your feedback and bring back the movement speed to this class. We also noticed the area damage reduction wasn’t as useful as intended, so we change it into general damage reduction at full HP, that works well already on other warlocks, due to the self heal.

• Changed Ready and Waiting to grant 15% movement speed additionally, replaced 30% area damage reduction with 40% damage reduction while at full HP.

Warlock/Champion

Note by GD: A simple buff to the class that makes it dual wield with two magical hammers. You can still keep playing it with a staff though. The class was lacking damage compared to other warlocks, so the buff is well deserved.

• Changed Saces’ Fury to allow you to wear an offhand weapon.
• Changed Imagination Release -> Ethereal Hammerfall; requires Willpower Blade to be active; Summons an ethereal hammer that crushes on your target, dealing 850% CPS dark damage and grants Ethereal Acceleration for 3 seconds, increasing channel speed by 10%. Cooldown: 6s, Cast: 1s, allowed casting while moving.

Priest

General

• Increased Bone Chill damage over time value to 3010 from 2709.

Priest/Scout

Note by GD: The class is still too powerful, so we have to reduce the area potential a little. The idea of this class is to focus on the spreading mechanic and the DoT instead of the initial damage.

• Reduced Ice Blades damage to 408% from 496%.
• Reduced Embrace of the Water Spirit damage conversion to 15% from 20.2%.

Druid

Druid/Rogue

Note by GD: The class was still dealing way too much damage. Therefor we want to nerf the initial damage, but buff the DoT further. We also addressed the issues of Corrosive Poison.

• Removed Shadow Contract movement speed penalty.
• Reduced Necrotic Wound damage to 376% from 435%.
• Reduced Poisonous Widow Embrace extra damage to 606% from 713%.
• Removed Corrosive Poison project travel delay, fixed re-casting it was reducing debuff duration instead of refreshing, increased damage over time value to 5300 from 4700.

Warrior

Warrior/Mage

Note by GD: We noticed the class needs a nerf on its AoE side. We want to leave the DoT untouched for now and collect more data about it. Your feedback about this class is much appreciated.

• Reduced Whirlwind damage to 1512% from 1815%.
• Reduced Moon Cleave damage to 2692% from 2992%.
• Reduced Blasting Cyclone cooldown to 6s from 8s, reduced stun duration to 2s from 3.

Scout

Scout/Warlock

Note by GD: We noticed the class wasn’t as powerful as intended, in particular in single target burst and Area sustain. This might be achieved by another DoT buff and a change of Combo Shot.

• Increased Reflected Shot damage over time value to 4500 from 3500, increased its duration to 8s from 6s.
• Increased Combo Shot damage to 612% from 471%, allowed to cast while moving, additionally applies Warlock’s Poison, reduced cooldown to 5s from 6.

Scout/Mage

Note by GD: As the magical side of the class had no possibility to increase its damage over time properly, we wanted to add such effect to Oil Up and see how it works out in the long run. Also both magical and physical variants seemed to underperform generally.

• Changed Oil Up to increase damage over time power by 30% additionally.
• Reduced Accursed Shell attack speed and magical damage losses to 5% from 15%.

Warrior/Druid

Long and impeccable burst when given enough time, and its sustain already compensates the chunkiness of this class, so it is not planned to be changed for now. This class is a saviour for slow parties sometimes.

Mage/Druid

Note by GD: This will be the second part to complete the planned class rework. This wasn’t added in the last patch, since we wanted to get sure the new mechanics worked properly in practice. Green Guardian will now increase movement speed instead of granting stats and original bonuses are shifted to other buffs. With movement speed, moving should feel less punishing to the class.

• Increased Perception earth damage gain to 41.75% from 16.7%.
• Increased Elven Mystic cast speed and magical damage gains to 6% from 5%.
• Removed Infiltration Spirit cast time, increased attack bonus to 35% from 30%.
• Changed Green Guardian to provide 1% movement speed per stack instead of all other bonuses.

Mage/Warden

Note by GD: We noticed the class was performing way too well in mid game content, while performing more or less as intended in endgame. We try to solve this by converting some earth damage into magical attack.

• Changed Follower’s Ground to no longer modify Absence.
• Reduced Earth Scepter earth damage to 32.6% from 73%, added 32.6% magical attack boost.

Warlock

Note by GD: We want to reduce the self heal of warlocks in general, as it seemed to be too strong compared to other classes. There are further adjustments planned that may affect the survivability of the class, so this is not the last change in this direction.I

General

• Reduced Soul Crusher HP recovery to 4% from 8%.
• Reduced Siphonic Etching HP recovery to 3% from 8%.

Warlock/Champion

Note by GD: The class was overperforming without question. The goal is to make it an allrounder warlock class, but other classes should perform better in their individual ways. We also decided against requiring a hammer in the main hand, so we just added some hammer damage so that two hammers might give a small damage bonus compared to wand and hammer.

• Changed Saces’ Fury magical damage gain to hammer magical damage.
• Changed Ethereal Hammerfall to require offhand hammer to be equipped.
• Reduced Mind Rune HP bonus to 27% from 54%, removed critical damage bonus.
• Reduced Rune Energy Devotion damage and aggro modifiers to 29.8% from 43.2%.
• Removed Saces’ Impulse magical damage gain, increased intelligence boost to 18% from 12%.
• Changed Electrocution to no longer trigger global cooldown, reduced Rage cost to 10 from 15.
• Changd Energy Influx Strike to no longer trigger global cooldown, increased cooldown to 6s from 3s, increased damage to 4227 from 2831, reduced Focus cost to 10 from 15, instead of critical hit mechanic, now if target has Electrocution debuff, it will refresh its duration.

Warlock/Rogue

Note by GD: We want to revert the nerf of Shadow Step in order to push the class a little, as it wasn’t as good as intended anymore.

• Increased Shadow Step dark damage gain to 20% from 10%.

Champion

Champion/Bard

Note by GD: The class wasn’t performing as good as intended, so here comes a small buff.

• Increased Shock Overload damage to 880% from 804%.

Druid

Druid/Rogue

Note by GD: We heard your voices and noticed ourselves the DoT was way lower than intended, so here comes a decent buff. The class is designed to be good in single target and have a decent area DoT potential.

• Increased Corrosive Poison damage over time value to 8000 from 5300.

Scout

Scout/Warlock

Note by GD: The class was still underwhelming at some point, so here comes another buff, especially for it’s sustain damage.

• Increased Detection intelligence gain to 24% from 12%.
• Increased Warlock’s Poison damage over time value to 6500 from 4500.

Scout/Mage

Note by GD: We noticed the DoT was actually only affecting one single mob at a time, so here comes the fix.

• Fixed Prairie Fire was affecting only one target.

Healers

Note by GD: We’re diversifying healing classes by increasing their damage potential and solo viability. This creates a new Heal-DPS-Hybrid archetype for situations where excessive healing isn’t needed. Simultaneously, we’ll boost non-healer classes’ healing capabilities for smoother transitions.

Solo healing will remain viable for 6-player content, with flexibility for a second healer. These classes will receive minor modernizations.

To streamline gameplay, damage will trigger healing or vice versa, or powerful healing-over-time effects will create windows for dealing damage. This reduces the need to constantly switch between mouse and keyboard, making healing more accessible to newer players while allowing skilled players to contribute in more measurable ways.

Healers should not just be a fully reactive class, but further the raid in active ways.

Auras

• Changed generic aura buffs to be based on gear score instead of wisdom and heal bonus.

Equipment

Note by GD: In the same vein, Healers have exactly one choice in Gloves. Therefore we must change the Gloves of the Enchanter to not be ubiquitous. These gloves will now serve the Heal-DPS-Hybrid niche instead. We’ve compensated the base strength of buffs for the removal of these gloves. Buffs should come out to roughly the same.

• Changed Ring of the Inquisitor to have an additional base 16% magical critical damage.
• Changed Gloves of the Dark and Light to be usable with Saviour set additionally.
• Changed Gloves of the Enchanter to no longer provide a bonus to auras, now it can’t be used with Magic of the City set, instead grants X% damage boost for 5 seconds to user after invoking a heal, added 4% magical damage to item base.

Priest

General

Note by GD: Priests are, at the moment, superior to druids in many situations, so they will get fewer changes, but the aforementioned goals still apply!

• Removed Healer’s Resolution skill.
• Changed Cleanse set skill name to Salvation.

• Reduced Group Heal healing to 250 from 905.
• Reduced Sublimation healing to 100 from 152, reduced intelligence scaling to 0.5 from 1.
