[EDITED] Intense Balancing: Wizard and Swordsman Trees
Greetings, Saviors! This time around in our Intense Balancing series, we’re covering a whole roster of Wizard and Swordsman classes and the plans we’re making to adjust their skills. But first, we’d like to talk about some damage calculation changes we’re also working on. Damage Increase/Decrease Calculation Changes So far, damage increasing and decreasing options in TOS have always been calculated by summing and subtracting the corresponding factors. Now, we have plans to change damage reduction options into multiplication formulas which affect the amount of damage the attacked target receives. Attacker Damage increase 25% (A) Target Damage taken decrease 25% (B) Before = (100% (base) + 25% (A)) - 25% (B) = 0% (100% damage received) After = (100% (base) + 25% (A)) x 0.75 (B) = 0.93 (93% damage received) As you can see, a 25% damage reduction can be rather useful (75% damage received), but when the attacker’s damage increase option is powerful, the effects don’t quite live up to the expectations. With the new calculation formula, however, that option reduces the damage received by 25% in a more intuitive way. On the other hand, in cases when your opponent has no damage increasing options and you have several damage reducing factors, your damage reducing effects can become less noticeable than what they currently are. See the example below. Attacker : No damage increases Target : Damage taken decrease 25% (A) : Damage taken decrease 15% (B) Before = 100% (base) -25% (A) - 15% (B) = 60% (60% damage received) After = (100% (base)) x 0.75 (A) x 0.8 (B) = 0.64 (64% damage received) Also, unlike damage reductions, damage increases will continue to be calculated by sum. Attacker : Damage increase 25% (A) : Damage increase 15% (B) Target : Damage taken decrease 25% (C) : Damage taken decrease 15% (D) Before = 100% (base) + 25% (A) + 15% (B) -25% (C) -15% (E) =100% (100% damage) After = (100% (base) + 25% (A) + 15% (B)) x 0.75 (C) x 0.85 (D) = 0.89 (89% damage) Damage effects from property relations are calculated first and added to the final multiplication. This process applies after the target’s damage reductions are calculated. Attacker (50% increase from Ice-Fire relation) : Damage increase 25% (A) : Damage increase 15% (B) Target (Fire property) : Damage taken decrease 25% (C) : Damage taken decrease 15% (D) Before = 100% (base) + 25% (A) + 15% (B) + 50% (property) -25% (C) -15% (E) = 150% (150% damage) After = (100% (base) + 25% (A) + 15% (B)) x 0.75 (C) x 0.85 (D) x 1.5 (property) = 1.34 (134% damage) We hope the change of damage reduction and property relation calculations to multiplication formulas will help players understand them more intuitively. Having all increase and decrease formulas sum up means that it can be hard for players to figure out how they work, especially not knowing an opponent’s damage increasing stats. With these changes, if your damage reduction factor is 30%, you get 30% less damage; if you have a 50% bonus based on property, you can expect 1.5 times the damage, and so on. Increased Property Attack Damage on Status Ailments We will be applying a damage increase effect to some property attacks which influence enemies under certain status ailments. Lightning attacks +50% damage dealt to frozen enemies Fire attacks +50% damage dealt to petrified enemies Dark attacks +50% damage dealt to cursed enemies Alright, let’s get on with the class balancing plans. Wizard [Wizard: Rank 1] Earthquake [C1 Skill] The casting speed of Earthquake is increased dramatically, with the skill gaining the ability to hit flying monsters and dealing double the damage to ground monsters.

The duration of Fireball is changed to 10 sec, and the ball remains after hitting the enemies (will not attack enemies that were already hit, nor be pushed by Psychic Pressure). New C2 attribute Fireball: Residual Heat increases the duration of Fireball. Fire Pillar [C2 Skill] Fire Pillar is no longer nullified by status ailment resistance. The radius of the skill is enlarged and its cooldown is decreased dramatically. Hell Breath [C3 Skill] Casting Hell Breath consumes 1 Pyrite (purchasable from the Pyromancer Master for 80 Silver). Hell Breath is uninterruptible while being cast. The skill’s hit rate is increased, its area growing more than 3 times in length, and about 1.5 times in width. Cryomancer [Wizard: Rank 2] Rod Mastery: Ice [C1 Attribute] Like Staff Mastery: Fire of Pyromancer, instead of Ice property damage, Rod Mastery: Ice increases the damage of Ice property skills when equipped with a rod. Cryomancer: Freeze Speciality [C1 Attribute] Cryomancer: Freeze Speciality, which makes enemies frozen by Cryomancer skills receive 10% additional damage, is changed to increase the chances of freezing the enemy with Cryomancer skills according to attribute level.

Spirit Shock [C2 Skill] New Spirit Shock is a new attack skill that links to the enemy’s spirit and inflicts spiritual damage. Spirit Shock works on a single enemy. Casting Soul Link disconnects the link with the previous target, although it can also be disconnected with Unbind. Enemies under Spirit Shock take Psychokinesis type damage while the skill is active (3 to 8 sec), and the link disconnects when it reaches a certain distance from the caster. Adding new attributes Spirit Shock: Enhance (C2), Spirit Shock: Confusion (C2), and Spirit Shock: Mental Pressure (C3). Spirit Shock: Mental Pressure decreases a linked enemy’s physical defense dramatically and inflicts additional damage in proportion to the caster’s SPR. Lifeline [C3 Skill] Duration per skill level is increased. Thaumaturge [Wizard: Rank 4] Swell Left Arm [C1 Skill] Swell Left Arm no longer increases the attack of subweapons, and it consumes 1 Magic Powder when cast (Magic Powder is purchasable from the Thaumaturge Master; its price changed to 100 Silver). New attribute Swell Left Arm: Summons (C1) increases physical/magic damage of the caster’s summons per attribute level. Swell Right Arm [C2 Skill] Swell Right Arm no longer increases the attack of weapons, and it consumes 1 Magic Powder when cast. New attribute Swell Right Arm: Summons (C1) increases physical/magic defense of the caster’s summons per attribute level. Swell Brain [C3 Skill] Casting the skill consumes 2 Magic Powder. New attribute Swell Brain: Fast Operation applies the same level of Quick Cast as Swell Brain per attribute level. Quick Cast is applied only to the caster, and does not require Quick Cast (Wizard C3 skill). Elementalist [Wizard: Rank 4] Electrocute [C1 Skill] The damage of Electrocute no longer decreases when transferred to next target, the overheat is increased to 4 times, and the area for the first target is widened. Attribute Electrocute: Freezing Magic Damage is removed. Stone Curse [C1 Skill] Enemies under the influence of Stone Curse take additional Psychokinesis type damage.

Sorcerer [Wizard: Rank 5] Summon Servant [C1 Skill] Casting Summon Servant consumes 1 Empty Spellbook (purchasable from the Sorcerer Master for 200 Silver). Chronomancer [Wizard: Rank 5] Stop [C1 Skill] Casting Stop consumes 3 Time Crystal Fragments. (purchasable from the Chronomancer Master for 100 Silver). Reincarnate [C1 Skill] Casting Reincarnate consumes 5 Time Crystal Fragments. Quicken [C1 Skill] The attack speed increase is reduced to a base of 50%, with the remaining 50% determined according to the caster’s SPR and the recipients’ level. For example, after these changes are applied, Quicken will increase attack speed by 175 at level 15 (originally 330). Considering a caster with 200 SPR and a recipient with a level of 250, then 200/250 = 80%, meaning +80% (+140) is added to the base value of 175, which results in a final attack speed increase of 315. This increase according to SPR and level will not exceed 100% of the initial base value. Duration is changed to 120 sec at skill level 15, consuming 1 Time Crystal Fragment. Haste [C2 Skill] Similarly to Quicken, the attack speed increase is reduced to a base of 50%, with the remaining 50% determined according to the caster’s SPR and the recipients’ level. If you and your party members can maintain a decent amount of SPR (including items), your Quicken and Haste will perform very closely to how they do now. You’ll have to consider the effect this change will have with other builds, however, like full INT dealers or high STR PvP-oriented builds. The skill consumes 1 Time Crystal Fragment, and its duration at Lv 10 changes from 80 to 120 sec. Backmasking [C3 Skill] Casting Backmasking consumes 2 Time Crystal Fragments (Time Crystal is the new name of the Dimensional Essence item sold by the Chronomancer Master; its price is also changed to 2,000 Silver). Pass [C3 Skill] Passed skills cannot be passed again until after the skill is used. Pass also consumes 1 Time Crystal. This means that you will not be able to bring a skill’s cooldown back to 0 by using Pass multiple times when there are 50 sec left, for example. The passed skill can be affected by Pass again once that skill is cast. Rune Caster [Wizard: Rank 6] Rune Caster: Skilled Casting [C1 Attribute] Removed the penalty that reduces skill duration if Quick Cast hasn’t been learned. Regardless of whether Quick Cast was learned, a basic duration of 5 min is applied. Meanwhile, Quick Cast’s casting time reduction effects are applied in the same way as currently (Lv 1 effects are applied if Quick Cast was not learned). Rune of Protection [C1 Skill] Removed status ailment resistance, and added immunity to knockback and knockdown. This effect applies only to the caster, but can be connected to party members via link. Casting time is changed to 2 sec, duration up to 150 sec, and skill cooldown to 180 sec (casting time for all Rune Caster skills is changed to 2 sec). Attribute Rune of Protection: Critical Resistance is changed to Rune of Protection: Maintain Casting, which makes casting uninterruptible when Rune of Protection is on. However, Rune of Protection: Maintain Casting decreases the duration of Rune of Protection. Rune of Destruction [C1 Skill] Damage factor and effect area of Rune of Destruction are increased, and casting time is decreased to 2 sec, with cooldown at 40 sec.

Skill cooldown is changed to 30 sec. Mastema [C1 Skill] Effect area becomes 1.5 times larger. Sabath [C2 Skill] The additional damage function is removed, and changed to increase the damage of following evil spirits in proportion to skill level. Skill cooldown is changed to 30 sec, and maximum duration to 10 sec. Drain [C2 Skill] Drain is changed to increase dark Property damage in proportion to the number of evil spirits absorbed. Duration of Drain is 30 sec, with cooldown set to 40 sec. Enchanter [Wizard: Rank 8] Enchant Lightning [C1 Skill] Casting Enchant Lightning consumes 1 Enchant Round (can be crafted with attribute Craft Enchant Round, and requires Magic Powder to craft. The price of Magic Powder is changed to 100 Silver. 10 Magic Powder are needed to craft one Enchant Round). New attribute Enchant Lightning: Psychic changes the property of Psychic Pressure and Gravity Pole to Lightning property. Enchant Earth [C1 Skill] Enchant Earth consumes 1 Enchant Round when cast. Sage [Wizard: Rank 8] Dimension Compression [C2 Skill] Overheat of Dimension Compression is increased to 2. Shadowmancer [Wizard: Rank 8] Shadow Pool [C1 Skill] The caster becomes invincible during the casting of Shadow Pool. Next up, Swordsman changes. Swordsman Subweapon Basic Attack Skill Changes In Swordsman tree class attack skills that use a shield or dagger, we are providing additional attack to the skills’ corresponding equipment items. First, for shield skills, the equipped shield will receive additional physical attack corresponding to part of its base physical defense value. For instance, if your physical attack is 1,000 and your shield’s physical defense is 500, with a skill that applies 30% of your shield’s defense, you get 30% of 500, i.e. 150, added to your attack, meaning a base physical attack value of 1,150. With two-handed attack skills used in conjunction with a dagger, currently only your physical attack counts to 100%. After the changes, however, we’ll be applying a sum of physical attack 80% + subweapon physical attack 60%. Basic item stats, enhancement, transcendence and armor maintenance will all apply to your subweapon’s values. The following is the list of skills where subweapon stats will apply. Class Circle Skill Weapon Damage Peltasta (Rank 2) 1 1 2 2 3 Umbo Blow Rim Blow Shield Lob Butterfly Umbo Thrust Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% +Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 100% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Hoplite (Rank 3) 1 Synchro Thrusting Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 100% (already applied) Rodelero (Rank 4) 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 Targe Smash Shield Charge Shield Push Shield Shoving Shield Bash Slithering Shooting Star Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 100% Corsair (Rank 5) 1 2 Dust Devil Hexen Dropper Physical Attack 80% + Subweapon Attack 60% Physical Attack 80% + Subweapon Attack 60% Murmillo (Rank 8) 1 2 Scutum Hit Shield Train Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Physical Attack 100% + Shield Physical Defense 30% Peltasta [Swordsman: Rank 2] General Changes Provocation values of all Peltasta attack skills apply as 50 times the value of damage. : Umbo Blow : Rim Blow : Shield Lob : Butterfly : Umbo Thrust : Langort Swash Buckling [C1 Skill] Swash Buckling is changed to force enemies to face the caster during the skill’s duration. The current 30-sec provocation value increase by skill level is removed. Duration and effect area become fixed at all skill levels, and the number of enemies affected is increased in proportion to skill level. C1 attribute Swash Buckling: Max HP is changed to Swash Buckling: Focused Defense, which decreases damage taken for 10 sec after using Swash Buckling. New C2 attribute Swash Buckling: Maintain Provocation increases the duration of Swash Buckling. Peltasta: Double Provocation [C3 Attribute] New New attribute doubles the provocation value.
