Paladin

Marauder / Warrior

The HP of Hephaistos in Abyssos: The Eighth Circle (Savage) has been reduced.

This adjustment applies to both phases of the battle.

Reasoning for HP Adjustment

In our endeavor to create an encounter more challenging than Asphodelos: The Fourth Circle (Savage), the team responsible for final adjustments spent a great deal more time than usual working on balance for this raid battle.

Under normal circumstances, the DPS of this team serves as a base for determining a boss HP value that results in clears as close to the time limit as possible. However, as extra time was dedicated to testing this battle, the team’s overall performance proved to be higher than usual. As a result, the base values used for adjustments were too high, with final values roughly 1% higher than intended.

We have reduced the boss’s HP to bring the battle in line with our initial balance projections. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Players will now receive the power of the Echo in Pandæmonium: Asphodelos (Savage).

The Echo will take effect upon entering Pandæmonium: Asphodelos (Savage), increasing players’ maximum HP, damage dealt, and healing potency by 10%.
* Unlike other instances, the strength of the Echo will not increase in the event all party members are incapacitated.
