I heard some news that in ktos they nerfed critical damage modifier to 20%,
can someone confirm this? Thanks in advance.
MMO alway look like a real war simulator.
Human habit didn’t change anyway.
I hope not. Nerfing crit isn’t what’s needed. Non-crit builds need to be buffed.

That would be good. It would definitely even the playing ground for top tier dps between mage classes and patk classes.

No source and no proof = not happened.

Be careful with this kind of rumor, there’s a massive barrier language from KR to NA and things often get mistaken/wrongly worded.

that’s why i asked here…
With a bit of common sense, you can know if this is a fake information.
Critical being 20% will literally erase 95% of physical classes, because STR is a placebo stat. All archers would reroll to take rogue as mandatory, and swordsman… well… full con, full spr or hibrid con/spr…better kite swordsman from ToS.

well, who knows? do you never get IMC’ed before?
Till now IMC changed only how STR works, and it got a buff(ok, was an almost nothing) and never saw IMC nerfing game mechanics(excluding cbt) other than TBL.
Hello guys, as you know the latest patch has brought in the item appraisal system for equipment obtained in the newly implemeted free dungeons. Well, some of these equipments have been re-balanced as some have been deemed un-intentionally too powerful. I’ll go through some of the equipments affected below and their changes. Unaffected equipment hasn’t been listed. ( I’ve also put in a seperate paste for this change if you want to see it there, but it’s listed below anyway.)
P.S ‘removed’ means that the bonus specified has been removed from the gear.

No. and it’s unlikely they will change it without announcements in a maintenance notes,the last regarded changes were to a few various skills critical rate and how it was calculated. but that was a long while ago now.

Geez. They sure know how to nerf things by making them practically useless.
50% ~ 1000% nerfing hot damn. Better yet, just freaking remove the stat they give.
Well, please do consider that these are lower level equips. (130~170)

It was too good to be true
Some of these gears were on par/better than most 220 stuff
Reminds me of these item images (the final design changed though), didn’t know they would actually get implemented:

Me like those new classy armor set designs, not that it would matter since they’re not costumes…
New Dagger is also cool, looks like Tidus’s Brotherhood’s little baby bro, it’s stat bonus are great too for Fencers: +11Dex and +30crit

Why must these designs be for low lvl equips. I hope their next patch would be rank 8 whites and blues equips. Based on their recent Q & A, these should have been added in ktos.
