PvE Class Balancing

/\c10\Knight

Savior was an annoying skill to use and have a debuff on. This should be a little more appropriate given both classes use this in their rotation (even though this is kinda more a Mystic Knight thing)

[Savior] no longer applies a 20% enemy damage taken debuff
[Beat Crush] now applies a 20% enemy damage taken debuff

/\c71\Grand Master

Buff management should be easier now

[Class Mastery] proccing the Time Fragment increases [Arrogance] duration 5s --> 10s

/\c26\Destroyer

Destroyer was still suffering in the gameplay department and some in the DPS department. These changes should make the class more fun to play and increase its damage

[Class Mastery III] now applies to [Crash Flying Swing], [Crash Punishing Swing], [Crash Bombs Away] and [Crash Roll Attack] if you cast any of them immediately following [Destructive Swing] to greatly increase their cast speed
[Crash Mode] cooldown reduced: 90s --> 80s

Unwipable Buffs

Classes that have these super powerful buffs are already balanced around them being used. When they get buff wiped, it feels so bad. Especially on some of these classes where having that buff active is like a 40%+ dmg increase. All of these classes already have to play with the boss' behavior in mind to avoid casting it at a bad time. To additionally get punished for a single buff wipe feels so much worse. Especially when a lot of these classes do the same damage as a class that doesn't care about buffs and can DPS steadily for free and not worrying about even boss behavior Being punished for holding the buff to make sure you have a "free space" to make use of the buff is already enough of a punishment.

We understand that this is rather controversial but we feel like its more important for people to be less "tilted" when something unfortunate happens.We'll be keeping an eye on these classes for any necessary nerfs or balancing adjustments as necessary.

The following buffs can no longer be buff wiped

• [Haymaker Frenzy]
• [Ascension]
• [Phantom Avenger]
• [Awakened Summon Shadow]
• [Awakened Spirit Boost] (does not apply to party augment)
• [Fast Forward] / [Awakened Fast Forward] (Does not apply to party augment)
• [Heat-up]
• [Awakened Heart of Glory]
• [Countdown]
