Dev Note With today's patch, Succession Berserker has been nerfed. Although we made some adjustments a few weeks ago, we missed certain aspects that resulted in Berserker being far stronger than intended. In the previous patch, we aimed to balance Berserker by tweaking his defensive capabilities through Super Armor while reducing its overall sustainability. However, this inadvertently made Berserker more resilient than planned, and the absence of Stamina restrictions on movement skills, unlike other classes, only worsened the issue. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused to both Berserker adventurers and their opponents. To address these concerns, today's patch brings several adjustments. We have focused on reducing excessive freedom of movement and the unintended resilience in certain situations. Prime: Fearsome Tyrant's DP increase effect has been changed to DP +30 for 10 seconds. Additionally, Prime: Lava Piercer and Prime: Predatory Hunt will now consume Stamina. We apologize once again for any inconvenience caused by our oversight, and we promise to swiftly address other classes that also require urgent improvements.
