Affix - "Life on Hit"

Dev Comment: Certain high-frequency, wide-range attacks in the game, when combined with affixes like Life on Hit, were providing way too much value and hindered our ability to design new valuable affixes (Soul Energy on Hit, anyone?). To address this, we've implemented correction coefficients for different attacks and skills, so they no longer receive full benefits from hit-related affixes.

Weapons
- Dual-wield Swords: 0.5
- Fire Staff - Initial Hits: 0.25
- Fire Staff - Final Hit: 1
- Lightning Staff: 0.5
- Orb Weapon Enchantment - Melee Damage: 0
Skills
- Cryomancer Q Skill - Ice Storm - First Stage: 0.5
- Cryomancer Q Skill - Ice Storm - Second Stage: 0.25
- Cryomancer Q Skill - Frostbite Curse: 0.5
- Death Knight Q Skill - Soul Shroud: 0.5
- Death Knight Q Skill - Soulstorm: 0.5
- Swordmaster E Skill - Whirling Blade: 0.5
Set Bonus
- FAery of the Lake - Faery Damage: 0.5

Set Bonus Affixes

Dev Comment: The FAery of the Lake set was too effective in melee combat, offering both damage and survivability. We’ve adjusted it to reducing melee benefits while maintaining efficiency for ranged attacks.

FAery of the Lake
- The faery no longer deal area damage or provide area shields, only single-target damage
- Level 3 no longer deals area damage or provide area shields to teammates upon return; it only applies a single-target shield to the set bonus holder

Force of Trinity
- No longer causes area effects, instead deals single-target damage to the target, allowing ranged classes to choose this set as well
- Now only affects enemy player targets to prevent wasting this valuable set bonus effect in PvE

August 6, 2024

This is a live update, players already logged in will not be affected. Please exit the game and update your client to the latest version. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Dev Comment: Today's patch does not include any class or equipment balancing changes. We've received your feedback on the Life on Hit affix and some changes are coming very soon. Stay tuned!

Gameplay Balance

Dev Comment: We've noticed that in Classic mode, some classes are exploiting the Warding (poison circle) to avoid combat, leading to an unusually high escape rate. To ensure a balanced gameplay experience, we’re making the following changes:

Adjusted Warding's poison damage calculation in classic mode: Fragile classes will now take more damage from the circle

Dev Comment: We want Classic mode to be a high-risk, high-reward experience, and we look forward to see more intense battles in this mode. To support this, we’re upping the item level requirements:

Increased item level requirements for Classic mode:
- Classic Clouseau Castle: Increased from 6 to 15
- Classic Sinner's End: Increased from 9 to 15
