Altair:

Welcome to phase two of pvp balancing here at Project Duck. Many classes are seeing more love this patch with a higher attention to detail to their class concepts and how they fit in the global scheme of PvP. We are founded by some experienced, known and well respected players so I hope you are able to understand some of these insights.

Note: Things are always subject to change with enough logical deduction and reasoning. So don't be upset if you're not seeing what you want! This is only phase two after all.

Without further adue let us begin:

It's going to be a long read. Listen with me.

Class Balancing [PvP]

/\c1\Warrior

Elbow Drop:

50% action speed increase.

/\c12\Mercenary

Damage redistribution

Although these nerfs look quite hefty the damage has been shifted around to give mercenary a more incremental style of damage, but with high damage. So the more the merc is comboing you the faster the opponent will die. Mercenary was previously more of a land a bunch of catcher skills and by the time you burst them down with roll / bombs away they are 100% dead if female class.
Now the poke damage is drastically reduced, instead the damage will come from actually getting comboed forcing mercenaries to make use of their entire skill set in order to dish out damage.

Rolling Attack

42% damage nerf across the board.
Realistically hitting 20k damage instead of 34k roll attacks.

Punishing Swing

50% damage nerf across the board.
Realistically hitting 5k instead of 10k on females. (Was an eighth of HP)

Circle Swing

60% damage nerf across the board.
Realistically hitting 5k instead of 12.5k on females

Realistically hits 6k damage.

Crisis Howl

Damage increased 32.5x.
Realistically hits 5k damage.
Note: Most crisis like functions are hitting pretty good damage in the game, so this change was made. Also, this skill is originally 45 seconds. Not that bad.

/\c11\Swordsman

Moonlight Splitter:

Dynamic damage is back, but the coefficient is now set to 50%.
Gladiator/SM will be hitting on average 1.4k each with this skill without debuffs.

/\c23\Gladiator

Line Drive:

"S" drive / Condensed Line drive has been removed.

The 2nd part of the animation is now optional with left click.
Available for 28 frames after the completion of the first hit.

Righteous Bolt

50% damage nerf across the board.
Initially hitting 12k+ on all classes which is an over an eighth of most of their hp.

/\c20\Paladin

Charitable Zap

First hit is now switched to magical damage only.
This will severely reduce the output of Guardian’s zap initial hit.
The zap ticks are now based off physical OR magical damage. (Previously magic only).
Now ticks will benefit guardian side of the house if they can properly make use of the entire skill.
30% damage reduction on first hit..

Smite

Damage reduced by 15%
Damage was never intended to be this high. The previous buffs to this skill and class were intended when divine vengeance / ascension were passives.

Heart of Glory
