how does “Increase 2H Bow Damage” work on the ranger part. Just Ranger skills only with 2h bow? or All skills?

Hey Lostac, it specifically mentions missile type damage skills with bow.

Steady aim duration buffed to 300 seconds.
Steady aim’s increase for [missile] damage changed from (skill level +5)% to (skill level)%.
Two new attributes are added for steady aim:
Ranger2 steady aim: bow attribute increases the [missile] damage boosting effect of steady aim by 50% when using a two-handed bow.
Example: steady aim level 15 provides a 15% [missile] damage increase normally, and with the new circle 2 attribute this effect is boosted to 22.5% [missile] damage increase.
(…)

[Lostac]

Thanks, that’s actually pretty good.

I’m hoping for 2 resets to see if I like it or change back if not.

[greyhiem]

Translated archer rebalance, nak muay, and the healing changes. I also quickly typed the original text for most skills if you need to check it yourself. Please excuse typo.

Several translations of remaining classes/text are available. If you are unsure I think it’s smart to wait for the dev blog translation for itos.

[Yunseo]

Hello Greyheim,

I am the translator for the pastebin link.

Would you mind collabing with me for a cleaner translation?

[mathias_cronquist]

Omg finally! its time to change my build from Wugushit to real Wugushi <3

[yoontaeiu]

now wugushi will be another one of those skill points hungry class

[redwea]

Hmm both ranger and fletcher looks good for mergen2 build but prolly too many skill if taking both classes. Hopefully hunter will get something. Looking forward to this!

[greyhiem]

Hi Yunseo Sure, please use any of my texts as you wish. This is for public view and I think imc will put an English version of the dev blog on itos eventually (hopefully I did not make too many mistakes). It will be nice to have patchnotes/dev blogs collected on 1 location. I just copied previous text to pastebin (only English), please feel free to take it from pastebin link, or take any information from the text. Actually I like your pastebin more because there’s less text sometimes I feel like a spammer. It might be nicer to give your pastebin link to curious players.

I just read it quickly, it seems fine to me!

I would like to add a small note to the priest mass heal, for players with trouble understanding:

‘Mass Heal is changed from -just affecting allies in front of the caster- to an AoE heal all around the caster, which allows the caster to heal allies even when they are behind the caster. The new AoE range includes the old frontal-healing range, so the original frontal-healing distance will not be reduced. Similar to Heal, Mass Heal will receive a new Healing Factor% scaling.’

Original: (Mass Heal 시전자의 전방 범위내에 적용되던 힐은 시전자 주변 적용으로 변경되어, 아군이 뒤에 있어도 치료할 수 있습니다. 적용 거리는 기존의 전방 거리를 모두 포함하고 있어 전방 사거리가 줄어들자 않습니다. 또한 힐과 마찬가지로 치유룍에 따른 치유 계수가 새롭게 설정됩이다.)

[Yunseo]

Thank you so much!

I have also linked to your pastebin for if players want to cross reference the translations.
Your translations are way more concise than what I could achieve
You have way more grasp on the language than I do so to speak. ~~

[Asriel]

I still don’t get why Ein Sof had to be nerfed, they’d better make Ein Sof not shareable with buff share/Lifeline, this would’ve been a better way to address the real problem.

I don’t need no nerf just for some metarangers. That’s unfair if a Class gets its skills nerfed just because of some other Classes skills. better nerf those skills and/or skill interactions.

Best solution would’ve been
Kabbalist = full HP boost, party members recieve only 50% boost by Ein Sof if they aren’t Kabbalist.

Still decent with enough CON. Still bad without CON. And still not affecting the Kabbalist negatively.

Getting nerfed because of Lifeline and Swordsmans abnormally high HP pool sucks.

Finally IMC gets that Merkabah needs a follow up skill to make it shine (fast multi hit aoe), and this new aoe covers that within the kabbalist circles. <3

I’m not so sure. Masinios Mace is already pretty high. We also don’t know if that’s already with enhancement attribute.
In my opinion the skills still looks not good enough, given we don’t know the used skill level, the enhancement attribute level, the skills element [this is actually really important; if it will be holy element, the skill could become actually really good], and, most importantly, skill duration,overheats and skill cooldown time.

If Kabbalist gets another 30 seconds+ CD time treatment I don’t think that the skill might be so good anymore.
IMO the skill should get similar scaling and CD time like Inquisitors God Smash (e.g. 20 seconds CD, if no overheats, same total damage at level 10 as 2x level 10 God Smash has with Mace bonus already added) to become useful.

This would mean ~6000% and 20 seconds CD time at level 10.
If it’s any less I doubt that the skill is worth it to call it good.

It would be more accurate to call it aweful then, given that Merkabah was just boosted to deal ~5000-6000% against demons/large enemies at level 6…

[greyhiem]

On the druid new explode seed skill .gif a -25% poison damage penalty pops up on the mobs (poison-property mobs). New Nahash skill likely is not holy, dark or psychokinesis element. The nahash .gif shows dark-type mobs, and no pop-up for bonus damage or pop-up for damage penalty. I was able to count 3 hits per second, and a ground-aiming blue circle was shown. Likely targeting is similar to merkabah/miko hamaya. The text is similar to onmyoji’s toyou skill, which does not hit flying enemies. Hopefully nahash is able to hit flying enemies.

Ein Sof was indeed nerfed for characters with max HP higher than 30’000 (most clerics and swordies). Lately kabba’s ein sof has been adjusted a lot (first PvP scaling change, second PvP duration change, and the latest dev blog ein sof nerf for higher HP characters). For endgame on ktos, kabba is a more popular (support) class than plague doctor nowadays. With its popularity many players provided feedback (or complaints), and finally kabba is receiving more changes. Do not worry about the dev blog kabba plans, usually more changes will be applied during ktest if feedback is unsatisfactory.

[Nekorin]

I see Ein Sof being rebalanced due to IMC balancing CON to be more in line with the rest of the stats. It also falls in line with the previous patch that increases equipment atk/def by 1.5x.

====================================

I think we are looking at the Nahash skill from different angles. What intrigues and excites more more isn’t the damage but the usability of the skill together with other skills within the Kabbalist kit.

Like what @greyhiem said, the skill has a hit time around 0.3s per hit, and the aoe circle is roughly Chortasmata’s hit area (based off the image).

2 skills benefit from an aoe spell of this type and range, Merkabah and Gevurah.

Merkabah being able to add a 10% additional hit for each hit done pairs up really well with a fast hitting spell like this. And best of all, this is the 1st aoe spell of its kind (fast drop and forget aoe like flame ground/heavy gravity) in the cleric tree without any prerequisites (pls plant grass first) like druid, the caster can freely continue to use other spells after dropping it.

Gevurah currently suffers from a lack of matk skills that can capitalise on its ability, besides Bokor’s Dambella and Sadhu’s Possession. Having Nahash, with its wide hit area (again from the image), makes it good to pair with Gevurah since the latter skill has an ability to ‘aggro’ (and thus pull in) threat-neutral monsters on cast.

I don’t think it is an awful skill to have at all.

[Asriel]

I don’t think it is an awful skill to have at all.

If it’s a damage skill and the damage sucks, it’s an aweful skill. Damage skills are designed to deal damage&harm/kill monsters. Kabbalist already has one such a failure skill (Merkabah), and I don’t wish to see a repeat of bad implementation>long waiting period>adjustment like Merkabah that had its CD time reduced first (after ~1 year waiting time) and now recieved a damage boost, after over 2 years of bad implementation.

On this skill it’s even worse because it it has 10 skillevels, we have to compromise [i.e. taking the points from somewhere else], which is double the amount of Merkabah. It’s also a Rank 8 skill, so it should be treated as such with damage scaling, and it also needs a higher scaling than physical skills because magic can’t crit.

Ground-based is also a disadvantage because it can be removed by specific monsters, maybe even Reversied, so this also calls for a boost.
Best would be to see equal damage to Plague Doctors Black Death Steam (around 6800% per overheat,would match perfectly if halved overheats and halved CD time, or set it to 30 seconds CD time with 1,5 times the damage [10300% at lvl 10] for Gevura>Nahash combo).

Merkabah still needs some damage adjustment.

The nahash .gif shows dark-type mobs, and no pop-up for bonus damage or pop-up for damage penalty.

I actually know this, but it could be changed later on. Most likely would be poison or earth property since it’s supposedly snakes we’re talking about, but since we’re also talking about practical Kabbalism [i.e. the use of magic, something impure, in a way that makes it pure], it wouldn’t be strange to see the skill become holy property damage [it also would be the first stronger Holy Property skill, all others are pretty weak].

I hope the people on kTest are complaining enough so Kabbalist becomes ± equal in terms of damage with Plague Doctor, and I hope that Druid will surpass both Kabbalist and Plague Doctor after the changes.

[c00lah]

Man, how about wait and see what happens during ktest/ktos implementation of the skill instead of writing these whiny wall’o’texts?
No offense but calm the f down please i’ve read enough of your repeated nonsense. it would be enough just one post to express what you feel about kabba rework without repeating it.

I personally like the attempt to shift the class skills a bit. it lacked damaging ones, it will get one. it’s a change for better. if it’s lacking, chanses are that it will get tweaked during ktest.

[frustratedsquirrel2]

You seem to have ignored all of Nekorin’s points on the matter of why this skill will be good for Kabbalist. It’s not about how much damage the skill itself does, it’s the fact that it’s a fast-hitting aoe magic attack in the Kabbalist tree that can be used to proc the effects of Merkabah and Gevurah. You could probably take only one point in this and it’d still do its job well enough. I for one am very excited to drop Double Chance so I can use this in my farming build. Double chance is buggy and hard to use with a bokor.

[shenhuehue]

Ein Sof dominated the meta game its a good change that it gets some nerfs.

Btw Kabalists arent Zealots they dont need a high damage skill xD

I´m more woried about my C1>krivis3>Monk3>Zea3 that i cant heal my self enough now :o

[frustratedsquirrel2]

Yeah, I’m a bit worried about my meme inquisitor too. My dinky little C1 heal tiles and Mass Heal are not going to be very helpful at all anymore.

I am curious about one thing though. There’s that new C3 Cleric attribute which makes heal tiles apply a regen-like effect to those they heal. Does this also work for offensive heal tiles? Will heal bombs be able to inflict dot damage on enemies?

[MrFioz]

afaik the c3 cleric attribute works this way: you have 80%hp and walk over a heal tile tha can heal you of 25% of your hp, so you recover 20%hp instantly and the leftover 5% will be applied as a hot, if it works this way it doesn’t make much sense to apply this concept to damage and dots

[frustratedsquirrel2]

Ahh alright, so it’s not additional healing or damage added to the original heal, it’s just a way for people to stay topped up on health if they’re over-healed. Not as interesting as I’d thought.
