Warriors!

 

Fairy winter celebrations are nigh! In just a little while, the whole of Arinar is to see the festive magic taking its jolly foothold at every near and distant reach. As ever before, the majestic Snowy Bound will soon open its grand doors for every warrior from across Arinar, its beauty lying sparking in the winter sunlight. Yet while the icy valleys and fluffy snowbanks of the Snowy Bound remain undisturbed as the snow elves are all wrapped up in their festive preparations, we seize a chance to announce the upcoming skills’ rebalance.

 

Arinar is home to 20 different classes, so we strive to make sure that each hero can enjoy their adventure across the unique and diverse world of Warspear Online. That is why we try to take a fresh perspective at existing features to revamp them over time, as we pay our mind to the current statistics, along with your feedback and suggestions. 

 

We’re looking forward to rebalancing the skills in a way that will redefine specific mechanics and provide for a smoother experience, yet our ultimate goal is to unleash new ways of gameplay. This year, though, we’ve also focused on redesigning class talents to quite an extent. Please note, though, that any changes you’ll see at the test server may still be revised in the update.

 

Shield Damage Calculation

 

The mechanics of calculating the amount of damage absorbed by the shield have been changed: now the damage amount depends on the attack and defense stats of a target that reduce incoming damage, as well as on any effects and influences affecting the incoming damage. 

 

Previously, shield damage did not take into account character parameters or effects that increase or decrease damage. Since the overall effectiveness of shields has increased, the durability values of all shields have been reworked. The application of the new calculation mechanics (now shield damage is calculated similarly to character health) has increased the total amount of damage that shields can absorb. The new mechanics apply to effects obtained from all sources: character skills, guild skills, talents, and items.

 

Rework of Stun parameter

 

Now, the effects of skills, talents, and items that influence control, affect Stun parameter. The new mechanic applies to skills, talents, and items:

• Redemption (Priest)

• Spirit of Resistance (Blade Dancer)

• Thirst for Life basic set skill 

• Stunning Deliverance event talent

This year, we've reworked a significant number of skills and talents, aiming to diversify the gameplay and rediscover the abilities of the heroes. The improvement of game mechanics is ongoing, and in one of the upcoming updates, you can expect changes to talents. One of such innovations will be the ability to disable any key talents of your hero, providing a more flexible way to leverage your character's strengths based on the in-game situation. We'll share more details about other changes later, and for now it's time to prepare for testing!

 

During the test server, with your help we will once again check the correctness of the work of all changed skills. Based on the results of testing, additional changes may be made based on the collected data. We will be grateful for the feedback and active participation in testing!

 

See you!

Well that was a short read.

Deathknight got some buffs and some nerfs?.. not to sure how to feel about Sharp Shadow getting heal nerfed

What a change for reaper :) 

Surely that new truce description is a mistake? Leveling it would literally do nothing else but make you do less damage, while the enemy does same on every level

hope nothing changed in part two

Truce is literally a joke, as well as shields. Devs should really consider every aspect of the game BEFORE CHANGING BASIC SKILL, bcs this game is not only for HIGH LVL. Priest is a weak class, and now you take away truce which was the only thing that helps priest survive in 2v2 against BM and Charmer. Now what? It gave shit, enemy can attack with 50% damage? While our damage gets cut to only 25%?

Its better to just delete this class so that i can laugh it off

Finally, barbs will be able to tank, thanks!!!

I have to point out seriously that if Block Master ends up changing to this effect, even the best warden in Warspear will not be able to tank in myth temple. (You know that it is very hard for healers to be alive in that dg.)

• The skill no longer deals magical damage.
• Now the skill casts Stun debuff for 0.2 \ 0.3 \ 0.4 \ 0.5 sec. to all enemies within a radius of 3 yards around the character every 1.5 sec.
• Now the skill reduces the cooldown duration of Secret Reserves skill by 0.2 \ 0.3 \ 0.4 \ 0.5 sec. for each Stun debuff applied to enemies.

 

This implies a considerable nerf in PvE even... we didn't really need to be able to stun our enemies further, rather to survive enough to maybe being able to stun them. Cool the interaction with secret reserves; clearly you want us to use that also in PvE. If only runes could be used somewhere else (and not replacing vamp runes which are infinitely more useful for this class)... 

What about templar? I think templar should get more stat conversion to their minions(particle of life). I have tested and penetration, stun, attack speed and many more stats dont apply to the minion. Besides the poor conversion of stats, the minion should get more health points as well. I believe its 3.8k health points...which is too low. Considering the cooldown of particle of life is also absurdly high, i think something of particle of life needs to be adjusted.

 

For the healthpoints, I would suggest it scales with the health points of the templar itself.

Since the priest has already been given the talent to output, the full screen attack should not be revoked

Light at the end of the tunnel for Paladins 

inspiration  skill on seeker : penetration buff removed? 

Nice update on necro. It makes me to give up this game more firmly.

BM didn't get any adjustment?

How is the Beastmaster class?
this isn't wrong, right?

I wonder if the guys who do the balancing ever played the Barbarian class. AoE for barb rejected. This doesn't make sense...

 Bloodshed

• Now when the skill deals DOT-damage, it interrupts a target.
• Added checks for the Block and Dodge for the talent damage.

 Fetters of Justice

• Adjusted the skill area: now the skill is applied to all enemies within a radius of 2 yards around the character. 

 Illumination

• Adjusted the skill area: now the skill is applied to all targets within a radius of 3 yards around the character.

I'm pretty sure those skills already have this radius? Unless you mean it's no longer a diamond shaped radius and now it's a 5x5 square and 7x7 square around the character, respectively.

Ok who was smoking what when they decided this was good idea? Only effective pve keytalent mages had is not only lower dmg now but also doesnt do what dragon eye is supposed to thats just going to make ppl run 1/4 eye with this talent and spam manapots, sure they will remove the 10%total mana cost of skills from this cos if they wont you can cast 3 skills before u run out of mana

Changing the block master from passive to active is not a good idea. This is the only means of recovery for the warden as a tank, and once controlled, there will be no recovery skills. Warden do not have possess immune control like barbarians, nor do they possess both active and passive recovery skills like dks

@HolmesWill monsters summoned by the charmers "Call" skill still have an HP limit?

rangers always dead easily,but u guys still nerf ranger dmg?when delete this class?then i can choose other class or mc side ty

 Absolute Reflexes

• Change in skill mechanics: now upon receiving damage equal to 18 \ 16 \ 14 \ 10% of maximum health for 4 sec., the character gets Absolute Reflexes buff for 5 \ 6 \ 8 \ 10 sec. The buff guarantees successful dodging from the next incoming auto-attack or instant damage skill. The buff persists on the character for 0.4 \ 0.5 \ 0.6 \ 0.7 sec. The buff can occur no more frequently than once every

🥴So Rogues have no attack speed buff now? That's rich!

More appropriate

This is one of the updates of this game

 Harad's Tears

• Fixed a bug with searching for targets for an additional attack: now the search for targets will occur around the main target of the skill, not around the character or allies.

so, can the % chance of hitting multiple targets be gone as well? since you only hit people near you now.

Ty gm for nerf mc

more nerf on warden good job @Dr Strange

Wow, yet again, you nerf MC, and buff elf side.. All those analytics and server imbalance due to these constant buffs to elf side make no difference to you clearly. Warlock is almost unusable now, only the top 5% warlock can play. I wonder if you would consider firing your analytics team. Servers like US and EU are dying and heavily tilted towards the elf side..I wonder why.

Now the skill will be applied in an area around the specified target (previously applied to a specified area).

Reading this i understand that it has become like paladin  fetter 1 tap area use  but why no silence effect same as fetter ? Lvl 3 or above . Either give silence to thrashing as you make  it same like paladin skill or remove silence from paladin fetter. @Dr Strange

necro acid shield rework hahahahaha good job aigrind now nobody will play necro anymore

Why ranger powerful shot not make it to 6 yard too haha

@Holmes @Dr Strangeplease consider adding the resist buffs and hp gain back to this, maybe take away the cd switch but right now this is really weak, the whole mechanics of this class revolve around demon form and to not get an actual advantage while studying talents is not really worth it, I have asked everyone that plays reaper even from RU servers and EU and nobody likes this talent branch especially for that reason, would be nice to get a small change. Thanks!

 Excess Energy

• Adjusted the effect strength that increases damage from skills: was 15%, now 12%.
• Now Dragon Eye skill does not restore the character's energy when the talent is active. The energy cost for all applied skills under the talent effect is increased by 30%. 
• Fixed a bug due to which the talent effect did not increase DOT-damage from skills.

It is already impossible to maintain mana regeneration during medium combats using this talent, now simply not having the effect that makes this talent usable will be very disappointing

Lol, ElfSpear this update will make the game more unbalanced and make the game dieing... IDK what the balanced team is doing but just buff elf overall ? IF SOME SERVERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SIDE BALANCE WHY NOT MAKE A TEMPORARY BUFF(ADD STAT OR BONUS SOMETHING TO COUNTER THE DOMINANT SIDE) FOR THE WEAKER SIDE(LOWER ACTIVE PLAYER SIDE 30/70) AND NO TEMPORARY BUFF WHEN IT HAS A BALANCED ACTIVE PLAYER SIDE ?????????????
