    We will be making adjustments to some of the actions for pugilists, marauders, and lancers which will add a bit more damage. We're currently in the process of performing post-adjustment balance checks.
  • Monster AoE attacks
    Many of the most damaging AoE attacks have a specific area that is affected, so by standing to the side or behind an enemy you can avoid the attack. I believe there is still some room for adding a bit more strategy to this, so let us monitor the situation for a bit before we decide how to address it.

With that said, we will be making adjustments to both classes and monsters in regards to these things.
