Tamer

Dev Note In the process of rebooting Tamer, we focused on enhancing her representation and unique combat style by increasing the utilization of Heilang. After the reboot, many Adventurers have been enjoying combat with the improved utilization of Heilang. However, Adventurers playing other classes as well as Adventurers playing Tamer have given us feedback on how only the skill Roaring is used while mounted on a horse. We thought a lot about this situation and came to the conclusion that it does require some improvement and change. First of all, the overall cooldown was reduced for the skill Prime: Roaring, but it was changed to not be activated during cooldown. Instead, the skill effects of Prime: Roaring were adjusted to be applied in other skills as well since it is an important skill on the ground as well. Also, adjustments were made to work as a substitute when Roaring cannot be activated such as skill combos or improvements on utilization so that you can deal damage enough. Due to this adjustment, you'll no longer be able to use only Roaring while mounted like you could before. This might be slightly disappointing for many Adventurers playing Tamer, but we thought it was a necessary improvement, considering future updates including Pet AI improvements and the development of Tier 5 pets, etc. and in the long run. We ask for our Tamer Adventurers to be understanding of this. We will continue to check and make improvements even after the update.

Drakania

Dev Note We've added two new Prime skills for Drakania with today's update. Designed for either solo or combo use, these skills will bring about a slight change to Drakania's overall PvE and PvP skillset. For PvE, the addition of these Prime skills bring about a more completed feel to Drakania's Succession, along with boosting its functionality. "Prime: Sundering Claw" is particularly useful during the down time when powerful ion-consuming skills such as Blazing Strike or Brimbolt Strike are on cooldown, while "Prime: Ascent" can deal great area of effect damage when comboed after skills with limited movement/control such as Markthanan's Scale or Flourish. For PvP, the addition of these Prime skills bring about a noticeable change. The added skills each have Forward Guard and Super Armor, respectively, which not only grant safer means of dealing damage, but also reduce the focus on dealing damage with Brimbolt Strike alone. We've also changed Brimbolt Raze's “All Accuracy increase” buff to now activate on Skewer hits. We originally designed Drakania to be capable of maintaining a higher level of accuracy, but we felt her accuracy buffs were a bit too good so we felt this was a necessary balance change. While some of you may miss retaining such accuracy increase buffs as before, we hope you understand that we added these Prime skills to better balance the class. We will continue to keep an eye on Drakania for PvP even after the patch and make adjustments where needed.
