Team Battle League Tournament Rebalance
-PVP balance, including Team Battle League, is being adjusted on a continous basis.
Team Battle League Tournament Healing Adjustments
After the damage formula for PVP was changed, the development team has been closely monitoring battles in PVP across various content. As a result of these changes, the development team has determined that the amount of healing in content such as Guild Territory Wars, Gemstone Feud, and in general GVG content is adequate.
However, in [Team Battle League Tournament], it was determined that the amount of healing is excessive, and the influence healers have on the success of a fight is too high. Therefore, the amount of healing applied in [Team Battle League Tournament] will be adjusted as follows.
Current: 50% of base healing
Change: 10% of base healing
※ No changes have been made in Guild Territory Wars or Gemstone Feud.
Adding a boosting effect to Team Battle League Tournament
To prevent battles from going on for too long and to allow battles to be more dynamic, we are adding a boosting effect to [Team Battle League Tournament].
-[Thrombus]: Healing debuff
-Decreases healing done to yourself or allies by 10% per stack (up to 9 stacks for a 90% reduction)
-Adds 1 stack every 20 seconds after being activated
-For example, if a heal would provide 10,000 health, it would only provide 9,000 at 1 stack (-10%), then 8000 at 2 stacks (-20%), all the way down to 1000 at 9 stacks (-90%).
-[Conflict]: Increased damage received debuff
-Increases damage taken by 10% per stack (up to 9 stacks for a 90% increase)
-Adds 1 stack every 20 seconds after being activated
-For example, if an attack would deal 10,000 damage to an enemy, it would instead deal 11,000 at 1 stack (+10%), then 12,000 at 2 stacks (+20%), all the way up to 19,000 at 9 stacks (+90%).
Removed Bonus Team Battle League Tournament Stats
In the same vein as adding the [Thrombus] and [Conflict] debuffs, we are also making the following change:
-Removed +300 CON stat bonus in Team Battle League Tournament
Adjustment to Companion AoE Defense Ratio
Companions accompany their owner and provide a variety of useful bonuses. One of these benefits include the ability for the companion to take damage from enemies instead of their owner by increasing their AoE Defense Ratio. Up to this point, the development team has left this as-is due to the high investment costs required in order to give a suitable amount of AoE Defense Ratio to your companion, and the ability to respond to this tactic by using single targeted skills.
However, as time goes by, the amount of AoE Defense Ratio on companions in both PVE and PVP environments has become far too high. Unlike a player character, companions can equip multiple pieces of the same gear that provide a high value of “AoE Defense Ratio”, specifically only for that stat gain, which allows them to be exclusively hit by monsters and characters even with a high AoE Attack Ratio. The development team believes that this benefit has begun to seriously undermine player roles in PVE environments and the ability for players to respond to enemies in PVP situations.
The development team came up with a variety of alternative changes in mind, until the final conclusion was reached. Here are some ideas we had:
1. If your companion dies, greatly increase the penalty so that its resurrection is not so easy.
-If we did this, we would give exceptions to Hunters and riding classes, but that just limits the problem to only those classes.
2. Have a separate league for Team Battle League where AoE Defense Ratio for companions will apply.
-Team Battle League is not too popular, and there are very few users that invest in a high amount of AoE Attack Ratio for PVP.
3. Create and provide specific, exclusive equipment for companions that will replace the use of AoE Defense Ratio equipment.
-The addition of companion specific equipment at this point would likely just be another source of burden and stress on saviors.
4. Reorganize and modify the AoE Attack Ratio vs AoE Defense Ratio system.
-Overhauling the large number of different AoE Attack Ratio skills in Tree of Savior only because of an issue with the AoE Defense Ratio of companions is likely to have many other side effects.
After reviewing the above alternatives, we came to this final solution:
The AoE Defense Ratio stat of companions will be fixed to 1.
The development team is planning to add rewards for those that passionately enjoy Team Battle League, and this change will greatly impact battle in this content. In addition, after making this change, we will review if there are any issues that arise in other content such as Guild Territory Wars and Gemstone Feud. Thank you for enjoying Team Battle League, and we will continue to improve the content through careful monitoring.
Oracle
Oracle has always been a strong class in PVP situations, but after the ARTS update, they received skill upgrades that give opponents no options in combat to respond.
We want Oracle to keep their strengths in combat, but adjust them so they have less of an impact.
Divine Might: Ill Omen
[Change] Will now only apply to half of the skills of the count of Divine Might.
[Change] Duration: 10 seconds
[Change] Cooldown: 1 minute
Crevox Note: For clarification, these changes only apply to Divine Might: Ill Omen, which is the art for Divine Might. It converts Divine Might into a debuff skill that lowers enemy skill levels to 1 for a set number of skill uses. The normal buff version of Divine Might has not been changed.
Twist of Fate
[Change] Cannot be used on enemies in PVP situations that are already under the effect of Twist of Fate.
Hunter
The top priority with hunter is to fix issues of the class where using skills would frequently fail due to a conflict with the companion’s AI and the user’s commands. With these changes, we’ve greatly improved the usability of Hunter skills and adjusted some of them as well.
Hunter is a class that has a lot of very effective skills for PVP situations, so we want Praise to be more useful for combat and have them focus more on companion management.
Thanks to AI and skill usability improvements, we decided to reduce the duration of Growl, as it’s no longer needed to last as long as it does and it blocks interaction in combat.
