Patch 1.18a Notes

[Rentahamster]

Well.

Maybe it's like this: They're increasing the base damage (damage modifier or whatever) of the skill. This would increase it for EVERYONE who equips it, Lancer or not. To offset that increase for other classes, they make the cross-class penalty a bit harsher. The damage might not go down for cross-class feint, etc, but it won't go up either. The wording used indicates that to me (although it is translated from Japanese so who knows)

Seems pretty clear to me:

To offset the implemented increase, these actions will now inflict less damage when used by classes other than those indicated above.
