Berserker

Dev Note We know that disabling mouse movement during skill use has been frustrating, especially for those of you who main Berserker. Before we roll out the full PvP balance update, we’re first addressing balance around this change—starting with Berserker, and then moving on to other classes. Berserker used to rely on Lava Piercer to close in on enemies, but its limited uses and lack of quick direction changes made it difficult to use effectively. Now, if you use Shake Off or Evasion while moving, Lava Piercer’s cooldown will reset (as long as you have enough Stamina), allowing you to use it consecutively. For Awakening, you can now change direction mid-air, not just when you land after a leap. These changes will feed into our upcoming overall PvP balance update, so please share your feedback.

Shai

Dev Note Last week’s update brought significant changes for Shai. With the new unified rules for DP reduction, many of Shai’s strengths—particularly those tied to Misty Haze—felt quite different than before. Today, we’ve implemented a series of adjustments to help Shai thrive more reliably in PvE, even when solo. We’ll continue to monitor performance and may introduce further tweaks as needed. That covers the practical changes for now. Beyond these immediate improvements, we’re taking a closer look at what makes Shai unique and where she should go from here. Shai started out as a Life Skill specialist, and thanks to her unique Talent, she’s also been a strong support in party play. However, her distinctive mechanics have, over time, both shaped and constrained her balance. With that in mind, we’re carefully exploring new possibilities and directions. Your feedback is invaluable in this process. Please continue sharing your insights on the official forums or via Support. Every comment helps guide our decisions and lays the foundation for Shai’s future. For now, we’ll focus on polishing the adjustments outlined above. We appreciate your patience as we work to make Shai the best she can be.
