  • Adjustments to defense from VIT
    We’ll be increasing the amount of defense players gain depending on their VIT.

  • Adjustments to monster evasion
    We’ll be lowering the evasion values for high-level monsters. The higher the monster’s level, the more we will be reducing their evasion.

  • Adjustments to damage from AoE abilities
    When a monster utilizes a magic-based AoE ability, we will be reducing the damage incurred by players other than the main target. As this is tied to overall battle balancing, we’ll first be implementing this adjustment for the monsters that appear in Legion and Ambuscade, and we’d like everyone to try it out and let us know your feedback.

hello Camate and Akihiko Matsui I have notice that not many people talk about the Doh Gate apex crab. I know you have no plans to allow people to transfer their hard earn job points to others job that can't get job points fast like the black mage, scholar, geo, and rdm. So will this new adjustment allow people to invite DD party set up for Apex monsters in Doh Gate?

I have killed apex monster for a long time now with a party set up like sch,geo, pld, bst, blmx2 that can kill apex crab every 15 to 30 seconds using magic burst earning 30,000 to 60,000 chain capacity points per enemy. Now my concern is how is a DD job going to compete with that kind of power from magic burst? I don't know how you gonna balance this between DD and Mages because it seems like a difficult task to please people without getting hate.
