Greetings, Adventurers!
We’ve been closely monitoring gameplay dynamics and, after careful consideration, we have decided to implement a major update focused on rebalancing Evasion. As Evasion is currently a percentage-based force in the game, we’ve noticed that players could achieve near and even 100% Evasion with ease, making some of the game's challenging dungeons too easy to solo. This imbalance has led to certain content being abused and, as a result, has diminished the intended difficulty of the game.
With this update, we aim to provide a more balanced and rewarding experience, preserving the challenge of higher-level dungeons while still allowing Evasion to remain a valuable mechanic. Below are the detailed changes coming in this patch:
Skill Adjustments:
We’ve reduced the evasion values on certain high-impact skills to ensure Evasion stays within reasonable limits, especially at max levels.
- Merit Mastery:
- Evasion reduced from 21% → 6% (max level)
- Quick Move:
- Evasion reduced from 58% → 45% (max level)
- Lightning Enchant:
- Evasion reduced from 55% → 40% (max level)
Pet Slot Adjustments:
Pets were providing too much passive Evasion, leading to excessive overall Evasion percentages when fully slotted.
- Pet Slot Evasion:
- Evasion reduced from 2% per slot → 1% per slot
- Maximum Evasion from fully slotted pets reduced from 20% → 10%
Epaulet of Guardian Changes (Base Stats):
The base stats on various grades of Epaulets of Guardian have been reduced to avoid stacking high levels of Evasion through gear.
Earring of Guard Changes (Base Stats):
We've rebalanced the Evasion percentages granted by Earrings of Guard to maintain consistency with other Evasion reductions.
Amulet of Resist Changes (Base Stats):
Evasion granted by Amulets of Resist has also been scaled down to align with the overall reduction in Evasion percentages.
Weapon and Body Part Craft Changes:
Evasion percentages on crafted weapons and armor have been reduced across the board to prevent crafting from becoming an overwhelming source of Evasion.
Accessory Craft Changes:
Both normal and unique accessories have had their Evasion craft values reduced to prevent excessive stacking of Evasion through accessories.
Extended Slot Accessory Changes (Account Bound):
To maintain balance, extended slot accessories have had their Evasion values adjusted as follows:
Buff Limit:
We’ve introduced a cap on Evasion from buffs to ensure that players cannot stack Evasion beyond a reasonable threshold.
Evasion Potion Adjustments:
Evasion potions were a significant source of Evasion abuse, so we’ve adjusted their values and restricted their usage to ensure they cannot be exploited.
We understand that Evasion is a core mechanic that many players enjoy using, and we have not taken this rebalance lightly. These changes are necessary to ensure that the game maintains its challenging and rewarding nature while avoiding exploits that undermine gameplay for others. We will continue to monitor the impact of these changes and make further adjustments if necessary to ensure a fair and balanced experience for all players.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to seeing how these changes improve the overall game balance and hope to bring more exciting updates in the future!
Best of luck in your adventures!
